He's a Garmin fanboy, so yeah, the watch that people call a "garmin fenix killer" will probably not have a fair review. Ray’s been pretty critical of Garmin lately, but let’s be real — calling this (or the Coros Vertix 2S, or the Polar Grit X2) a “Fenix killer” is pure clickbait. It’s the same as ev

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

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. It still majorly undercuts the proposition

Aggree. Garmin offers for almost every function an own watch series. If you try to choose your perfect fitting watch wich offers exactly the functions you need, you'll have to investigate hundreds of hours on Garmin's website. Often ending up with one of the expensiv top models. It seems that Polar

The firmware update has crashed my Polar Grit X2 Pro: the watch keeps rebooting. I have opened a ticket at Polar’s support and I am waiting for their feedback…

H10 doesn't compete with Apple watch, Whoop, and other watches and bands. A huge amount of real scientific papers said that H10 has been proven and can be used for medical-grade tests. He said he had retested Polar Loop over the last few months. He doesn't disclose the actual duration. So, it could

I must be one of the lucky ones - I came from a Polar Grit X2 Pro (which had terrible OHR and I had to use a Polar H10 strap) to trying the Galaxy Watch Ultra. For hiking its exactly the same as my H10, and also I did a recent test with my Hammerheard Karoo 2 with the Polar h10 against my Galaxy Ult

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 ! J'ai fait un message à Polar resté sans réponse à ce jo
