    As a Vantage V3 owner myself I cant wait for the software update! POLAR is really coming for blood with these releases.

    Looks like a nice watch and competition is always good, but I can’t find any reason why anybody would choose this over a Garmin Fenix/Epix. Even as a Garmin user myself I would be happy if polar introduces new features which pushes technology or software further but it doesn’t seem like this is the case.
    Also still no offline music, but that seems to be a controversial topic among polar users 😀

      Thing with Garmin .... I tried to stay away from it and went Suunto, Coros (Polar long time ago) and those folks at Garmin...for some reason they always nail it. I defo have a love/hate with them. Having an Epix now, what can I say ....

      @@user-ur4lv4zh4h I’d like to try out some other brands but with years of data on Garmin and constant product updates it would’t make much sense. The only interesting feature from a competitor that I can think of is Running Form Analysis from coros, but other than that for me it still seems like everyone is trying to catch up with Garmin while Garmin keeps on going.
      But at least there is no stagnation in the sportwatch market :)

      It will be down to the Epix Pro and the Ultra 2 followed by the usual “if you are Apple user and like more smartwatch than sports watch go for Ultra”.
      Hopefully Apple can up their game in this year’s releases.

    The Grit X2 is too big & heavy. For those like many women with smaller wrists who want the same functionality, has Polar developed a smaller version of the Grit X2 like the “s” in Garmin’s Fenix 7S & Forerunner 965S?

    I’ve been a Polar fan since my old S720 watch that connected to my PC and the included Polar Personal Trainer software with an infrared sensor to download the data. I had to ship the old models to a Polar dealer to get new batteries (what a hassle) I have updated several watch models over the years and really like the Polar Flow APP and my Vantage V2 the multiple test. But I never felt Polar watches had stable OS in the watches and frequently hiccups to reboot or loose data during my training was frustrating. I don’t think I would get the new Grit or Vantage watches unless they have worked out the bugs.

  • @Ariozo111
    @Ariozo111 2 месяца назад

    Was huge Polar Fan back in the days, and they really start to get it solid. But Garmin is so far ahead so question is if you pay same for the X2 Pro as you do for a FPro or a Epic gen2 Pro this days. :)

    I know it’s a weird question - but one of the issues I had with the Grit X was the limited amount of allowed alarms. I think it was only one to be honest! Do you know if that’s changed with the new watches?

    Is the middle section of the watch also made out of titanium, or are they cheating like Garmin Epix Pro Gen 2 ? On Garmin it's plastic.

    very very bad heart rate monitoring. The values are all over the place. They go high then down again high again down, then stabilize then they loose again the real value they go high then again down, and again and again and again. The worst is that i have purchased both Vantage 3 and Grit X2 Pro. If they do not fix it i will trrought them in the basket really. I dont care about the amount of money i gave. I see they do not listen to the customers at all. I'm trying to help them and support them by purchasing their products, but they do not listen. I also have a Garmin Fenix 7 Pro and an Instinct 2X. I can tell that Garmin never, never lost its measurement. Every time i check the Garmin is on the spot and aligned with the Polar Verity Sense. I could accept to have values close to the verity sense, not exactly the same (which Garmin really follows almost the exact values compared to verity sense) but this is all over the place. You cannot trust it. One day goes well, then the other the values are everywhere from + - 10 to 15 even more from what they suppose to be, and the next day when the intenstity of the activity exceeds 165 bpm it looses its brain and just shows 139 - 135 - 148.....whatever.
