What's the typical lifespan for Polar watches?

Polar Grit X Pro: 4 years, daily use. The sensor started to get unreliable, the screen got dimmer, some buttons started to stick... It was just time to retire the watch.

What's the typical lifespan for Polar watches?

I had a Polar Grit X that lasted 4,5 years. (well the touch screen gave up a bit earlier, and also the buttons were getting difficult to use). (at the time I bought it, it was 430 euros)

Alternative to Garmin Fenix?

Maybeeeeee Polar Grit x2 (basic or pro variant), and it's a maybe because while the watch itself is fine IMO, the software behind it is kinda clunky and outdated, but you can find a used one for like 200 euro in good condition.

Watch restarted during race why??

Had the same thing with my Suunto 9. It occurred more often after that and then the battery died. I also had the same on my Polar Grit X. But there it turned out a button was a little stuck.

Crazy Sale on Fenix 7 Pro SS, or Wait For 8/9?

I recently bought the Fenix 7 pro SS titanium for $500 usd (roughly the same price you're seeing). I upgraded from a dying polar grit x pro. I figured I'd keep the watch for 4-5 years before it dies or I want to replace it. I could justify $100-$120 a year for a fitness watch to track my activities,

A new model next year, but what about software updates for older models?

Después de ser un usuario y defensor a ultranza de Polar durante más de 10 años, y tras la rotura de mi Polar Grit X Pro con tan 3 años (aún funcionan mi A300, M400, etc.), adquirí el Vantage M3, y de los 5 meses que llevo, ya es la tercera vez que lo mando al servicio técnico por reincios constante
