I’ve tried out several fitness trackers over the years and I’ve gone through the same set of stages with every single one of them: I start out enamored and impressed by the new wave of data, potential insights, and the motivational prods, but I soon get disheartened by my failure to meet the goals, resentful of the digs at my inactivity, then I forget to charge it one night and I never wear it again.Īfter a deep-fried, gravy-soaked, biscuit-filled visit to the deep south, I resolved to get a little more exercise, and the Polar Ignite fitness watch arrived right on cue. Whether you’re snowed under with work or trying to juggle family and friends, when you’re tired and your free time gets squeezed, exercise is often the first thing that gets dumped from the expanding to-do list.

Modern life sometimes feels like a competition to see who can be the busiest.
