Frequently asked questions
Does Polar Ignite 3 support sleep stage tracking for Health Connect?+
Yes. Ignite 3 supports full sleep stage detection (light, deep, REM, awake) using Polar's SleepWise algorithm. All stages write to Health Connect via Polar Flow. FitMesh reads them automatically.
Is Polar Ignite 3 or Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 better for Health Connect sleep data?+
Both provide comparable sleep stage data in Health Connect. Polar Ignite 3 uses a wrist-based sensor with SleepWise and writes clean stage data. Galaxy Watch 6 adds skin temperature deviation alongside sleep stages. The choice depends on ecosystem preference rather than data quality difference.
My Polar Ignite 3 sleep data is not showing in FitMesh. What should I check?+
Ensure Polar Flow is updated to version 5.9 or later. Open Polar Flow, go to Settings, find Health Connect, and verify the toggle is enabled. Check that Polar Flow has write permissions for Sleep in Health Connect app permissions. Open Polar Flow after your watch syncs to trigger the Health Connect write.
