Polar manufactures wearables for hardcore athletes, but the company announced today that it also hopes to attract beginners, and that gyms in the US are still closed, now may be an ideal time for a product like the new Polar Unite. The smart watch guides users trying to get in shape with personalized workouts based on factors such as fitness level, sleep quality, and recovery time.
To help you get back to normal, the animated instructions show you what a particular exercise looks like, so you don’t have to question or stray from the moment to search for a video. Vibrations, additional instructions, and timers keep you up to date on where you are in your workout, so you don’t have to stop to look at your watch. The Unite also has real-time workout stats and visualizations, which can keep you motivated as well as make sure you’re not working too hard. The standard metrics that come with most fitness trackers apply here, including heart rate, calories burned, and cardiovascular activity.
