Polar warranty for smartwatches & wearables
The short version
Polar covers smartwatches & wearables in full for 2 years, with no partial coverage after that. That full coverage is longer than most of the 14 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Polar's published warranty, checked October 2026.
