POLAR IGNITE 2 GPS Fitness Watch
How to get started
- To wake up and charge your watch, plug it into a powered USB port or a USB charger with the custom cable (Ignite/Ignite 2) or the USB charging adapter (Unite) that came in the box.
- To set up your watch, choose your language and setup method. The watch gives you three options for setup: set up (A) on your phone, (B) on your computer or (C) on your watch. Browse to the options by swiping the display up or down. Tap the display to confirm your selection. We recommend option A or B.
Option A: SET UP ON YOUR PHONE
You have to do the pairing in the Polar Flow app and NOT in your phone’s Bluetooth settings.
- Make sure your phone is connected to the internet and turn on Bluetooth®.
- Download the Polar Flow app from the App Store or Google Play.
- Open the Flow app on your phone. The Flow app recognizes your watch and prompts you to start pairing it. Tap the Start button.
- Accept the Bluetooth pairing request on your phone. Confirm the pin code on your watch and the pairing is done.
- Sign in with your Polar account or create a new one. We’ll walk you through the sign-up and setup within the app. When you’re done with the settings, tap Save and sync and your settings are synced to your watch.
Caution: Your watch syncs your training data with the Flow mobile app automatically if your phone is within the Bluetooth range and the Flow app is running. You can also sync your training data manually with the Flow app by pressing and holding the button of your watch.
Option B: SET UP ON YOUR COMPUTER
- Go to flow.polar.com/start and download and then install the Polar FlowSync data transfer software to your computer.
- Sign in with your Polar account or create a new one. We’ll walk you through the sign-up and set up within the Polar Flow web service
Caution: To get the most accurate and personal training and activity data, it’s important that you’re precise with the settings in the setup.
Caution: If there is a firmware update available for your watch, we recommend you install it during the setup. It may take up to 10 minutes to complete.

Wearing your watch
Wear your watch firmly behind the wrist bone. To get accurate heart rate readings during training:
- Wear the watch on top of your wrist, at least a finger’s width up from the wrist bone.
- Tighten the wristband a bit more tightly around your wrist. The sensor on the back must be in constant touch with your skin and the watch should not be able to move on your arm.
When not measuring heart rate or tracking sleep, loosen the wristband to let your skin breathe.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR WATCH
Keep your watch clean by rinsing it under running water after each training session. Before charging, please make sure there’s no moisture, dust or dirt on the charging contacts of your watch and cable. Gently wipe off any dirt or moisture. Do not charge the watch when it’s wet.

- Wait until your heart rate is shown inside the green circle.
- Tap the display to start training recording
PAUSE AND STOP TRAINING
Press the button to pause your training session. Tap the display to continue training. To stop the session, press and hold the button when paused until Recording ended is displayed.
TRAINING WITH GPS
Ignite/Ignite 2: Go outdoors and away from tall buildings and trees. Keep your watch still with the display upwards to catch GPS satellite signals. The circle around the GPS icon will turn green and the watch vibrates when the GPS is ready.
Unite: To get GPS data, connect your watch to your mobile phone. Install the Polar Flow app on your mobile phone, pair it with your Unite and give it permission to always use your phone’s location. You need to keep your mobile phone with you during the training session.
Polar Flow app and web service
Sync your watch with the Flow app after training and get an instant overview of and feedback on your training, activity and sleep.
Sync your training data to the Flow web service with your computer or via the Flow app to track your achievements, get guidance and see a detailed analysis of your training results, activity and sleep.
