Just switched from Suunto A3P to Polar Grit X2 Pro, also considered M3 but wanted the bigger screen as M3 seemed too small for me. And since Suunto sold their MoveSense business they no longer make HR chest straps, so would seem odd to buy Polar strap but Suunto watch for running. Also like idea of

Hah, yeah every sportwatch company has pros and cons, so there is no "correct" answer :) But if I can have my two cents here. First of all I have used all of them, except Coros. I have had sportwatches since 2002, and I worked with polar and suunto in the past. But, I went from polar grit x pro -> s

Bjr je viens de changer ma polar grit x pro par une grit x 2 pro. Maintenant il m'est impossible de télécharger sur la montre des fichiers gpx, puisque certaines applications et données de polar flow sync ne sont pas compatibles avec Grit x 2 !

Hello good people. I hope you can help me choose a watch for amateur training. My choice comes down to three watches. It’s not an easy task, because I already own two of them, but I still haven’t decided which ecosystem to commit to. Right now, at home I have two options: Coros Nomad Polar Grit X An

I have a hammerhead karoo 1 bike computer and moofit rpm and speed sensors. No issues with the watch and hr strap or pairing them to my bike computer. The rpm a
