Curious about Polar watch faces ... struggling to find good examples online

Helloooooo everyone!

I'm trying to get a better idea of what the watch faces on Polar watches (especially the Vantage M3 or Grit X2) actually look like in real use ... not just in marketing shots.

But I’m having a surprisingly hard time finding real user photos or videos showing the different scre

Alphafly 3 first run (6.41 miles)

I'm going to be extremely upfront right now. These shoes are an outright CHEAT CODE. If I could dedicate all my time to running and if Nike sent me some pairs for free, I could legit run 100 miles a week!!!

Chest hr monitor worth it?

What does a chest HR monitor even add on top of a wrist monitor (garmin forerunner 265)?

For those with the Pace Pro, how often do you actually use the map feature?

Agreed! I have pace pro and simply use the offline music and running features of the watch. Am going to try the garmin 265s for a bit and decide which watch to sell after.
