Today is a day of double celebration at Polar as the Finnish company launches not one, but two new watches. The Polar Ignite 2 and Polar Vantage M2 are the company’s latest models and Polar says offer “new highlights in a 40-year history with technology that helps people improve at all levels.”
“Our workout routine has changed dramatically over the past year,” said Tomi Saario, CEO of Polar. “The light at the end of the tunnel is currently visible to many and that is a huge opportunity to come back stronger. Polar’s watches offer a more holistic view than others on the market, by providing insight into the user’s all-encompassing physical and mental state at any given moment. The new Ignite 2 and Vantage M2 are designed for exactly that purpose. They help to better understand your body, improve your performance and provide all the tools to make 2021 your year.”
