Grit X2 Pro

Honestly, for 100$ more, it is still nothing compared to the competition it is aiming for, like the Garmin Fenix 8/8 Pro between 1000$ and 2300$ USD, The Forerunner 970, and even the 570, the Polar Grit X2, and to a lesser extent, the Huawei Watch Ultimate.

Re: Loop. I was talking about the differences in price between Polar products in Canada and the US. Not the difference between Polar and it's competition.
