Anyone work for Polar? Lemon HRM and Awful Customer Service. Help?

I was going to buy a new GPS watching, but have been holding off.

Those Polar watches seem nice, but eh, you're not the only one to complain about them. I had a chance to play around with one at a store a couple months ago, and eh, I didn't like the interface.

FWIW, I'm still running my Garmin Forerunner 15. I'm on my second battery with it and it just works.

I do want a newer watch, but with everything going on, I've really been holding off. I also don't want to buy into something that has apps or anything complex, which is the reason I've been holding onto my 15 for so damn long.

I had thought that Polar was a reasonably decent product. Any company can produce a lemon once in a while, but to tell me to just buy a new one? Why would I do that? What are they thinking?

I can say that I've gotten both batteries from Garmin and they seem very helpful. They offered for me to send it in, but both times they just sent me new batteries for a very used watch.

Customer service-wise, Garmin hits it head on for me at least.

I wouldn't have cared to even pay for the batteries, but they offered.

Hahahahahahahahhahaaaa!!

Should have got a Garmin, cheapskate.

You’re like my useless annoying sister in law who bought a Tom Tom. Hahahahahaahaha…..
