🇺🇸 vs. 🇨🇦 vs. 🇸🇪 vs. 🇫🇮
 This can only mean one thing... 4 Nations Face-Off! 🏒🥅 As long-term partners of Suomen Jääkiekkoliitto - Finlands Ishockeyförbund - Finnish Ice Hockey Association (and sponsors of the Finnish National Ice Hockey Teams), POLAR have a "vested interest"—call it bias—in Finland’s success in this tournament. Not only have POLAR Wearables been the key to tracking player training and performance, but POLAR Team Pro solutions have been instrumental in helping the coaching staff analyze the data. So, because it's a very special occasion, we gave a few Grit X2 Pro Titans to some of the coaches. And today, Finland kick-off their campaign against USA. 🇫🇮 vs 🇺🇸 It all comes down to moments like this. LET’S GO, FINLAND! 💪 Who’s watching the game? Who are you rooting for? And who’s gonna win the tournament? #IIHF #IceHockey #Finland #Polar #GritX2Pro

The Science of Sleep & Performance with POLAR Tech by Jonathon Easdown: Sleep is one of the most powerful tools for recovery, but simply getting more of it isn’t always the answer. Measuring and analyzing sleep quality is key to understanding what actually works. For coaches, performance staff, and athletes, objective sleep data provides a crucial feedback loop—helping to assess the impact of interventions, refine strategies, and optimize recovery for better long-term performance. As technology evolves, so does our understanding of sleep in sport. The question is: how do we turn insights into action? Check out the full write up below ⬇️ #SportsScience #Sleep #Performance #POLAR

A Brief History of #WearableTech It’s fascinating to look back at how wearable technology began—and Seppo Säynäjäkangas was certainly one of its outstanding #pioneers. In 1975, there was no accurate way to measure heart rate during training, until the idea of a wireless, portable heart rate monitor arose on a cross-country skiing track in Finland. Polar Electro Oy was founded in 1977, and filed its first patent for wireless heart rate measurement three years later. Its founder, Säynäjäkangas (1942–2018), invented the first wireless EKG heart rate monitor. In 1978, the company launched its first commercial product, the Tunturi Pulser, followed in 1982 by the world’s first wearable wire-free heart rate monitor, the Sport Tester PE 2000. Why did it take so long to surpass 500 million global shipments in this industry? >Miniaturization & Power Supply: Advances in battery and sensor technology were critical for making wearables practical. >Comfort & Acceptance: Early devices were bulky, discouraging daily use. >Mass Production & Cost: High manufacturing expenses and limited scalability delayed widespread adoption. Despite these challenges, wearables now touch nearly every facet of our lives—from #fitness and #health #tracking to productivity and lifestyle enhancements. With #AI-driven features, we can expect even more #personalized and impactful wearable solutions ahead. By the way; at Wictory.ai we currently use the latest technology from Polar—the 360 device—and plan to launch a special bundle very soon. Thank you Michael for your support!

I finished 2nd in the Cole Classic 5km with a time of 56:17. Getting back into the competitive spirit, I raced against young, energetic swimmers who placed in the top 8 of the Australian 10km race. It was the first time in a while that I felt this level of excitement and focus while swimming. This race also gave me insight into where I currently stand in the world rankings. My finish time was 6 minutes faster than last weekend's Sydney Harbour Splash 5km race, reaffirming that my strength is definitely returning. Today, over 5,500 swimmers took on the world’s biggest ocean swim, and I want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who came down and gave it a go! A massive shoutout also goes to our incredible team of volunteers and water safety crew—an amazing group of people without whom this event wouldn’t be possible. Additionally, I recently joined the North Bondi Surf Club, where Matt Hamilton, Head of Youth, is fully committed to leading the team. On race day, he guided the club’s young talents, and I was grateful for the opportunity to share my experience of competing and training around the world with these promising athletes. I appreciate Matt’s leadership and am proud to be part of Australia’s largest life-saving club, which boasts a 100-year history. A special thanks to my icon, Ky Hurst, for recommending North Bondi Surf Club to me. Open water competitions continue at North Bondi this weekend—looking forward to more racing ahead!

LinkedIn may be “the place to B2B”, but... ...put your hands up if you’re on Instagram ✋ Like many of you, POLAR is a lot more active—and dare we say, more “fun”—outside of work. Maybe it’s why our @polarglobal IG account has over 215k followers (and counting). It’s where we post a bit more freely, more personal, and more often. And it’s where our customers and fans get to see more about what’s happening with our watches, sensors, and community. So, if you ever feel like a break away from "business as usual", the "9 to 5", or the “rat race”, check us out on Instagram.
