In my opinion, you made the right call. Other companies tempt people with lots of unnecessary options. I think Coros is one of the few that isn’t going in the wrong direction, but it’s a brand aimed more at runners. It’s cool, but I miss some of the Polar features. A few years ago, I owned the Polar

Wow. I havent seen so much gnashing of teeth over something so small since watching the Millenium Falcon barely escaped the mouth of the space slug in Empire Strikes Back. :) I started with Polar in the 80's as a national team athlete, and have been with them more on than off since then. Much like S

Since you are coming from Whoop, I would wait until the new screen less Polar launches in September since it’s suspected to be a consumer version of the Polar 360. This would be closest to your Whoop experience. A Verity Sense is an HRM like the H10 and won’t track daily activity or all day heart ra

I moved from the Garmin Forerunner 735xt, which was introduced to the market in 2015 or 2016 to Polar Grit X2, and to be honest, sometimes I feel I downgraded. Of course, my Polar is much better in terms of hardware, but the watch's firmware and especially the mobile app are sometimes giving beta ve

Excellent choice. I have the Polar Grit X2 Pro. Excellent brand. Very good quality. This is the brand with the best data accuracy 📈 heart and sleep. I use the Polar H10 only in cycling and VMA or vameval test mode (in France 🇫🇷). I wish you lots of fun in your outings 😃

Instinct 2 or 3 would be a good way to go Some people have literally run Jeeps over Instincts or thrown them off buildings Have owned Instinct and Instinct 2, they are tanks. Great for martial arts and bouldering, better then the Grit X2 maybe Grit X has some different metrics, kike temperature, and

UPDATE: Consistent with what has been said elsewhere about Polar in general for customers in the UK, they did actually give me an £800 voucher to buy another Polar Grit X2 Pro Titan, which I’ve done. To be totally honest, I was nervous about doing so, but I’m not out of pocket and hope that the new

If your priority is guidance and long-term progress, go Polar Grit X2. • Coaching built in: FitSpark, Running Program, Cardio Load, Nightly Recharge. It turns data into day-to-day plans and tracks load over time. • Stronger analytics: Polar Flow’s web dashboard is dated visually but excellent for tr
