I’m looking for a watch with a MIP display.
I recommend Polar Grit X Pro if you liked the Grit X and the Polar ecosystem. It is still available if you look around. I had the original Grit X and had the pressure sensor replaced 3 times within warranty including change of back cover that was supposed to solve the problem with height measurement

I loved Polar. But Garmin simply works.
My current Polar (Grit X) is also my last Polar watch. The technology is constantly playing up and customer service is virtually non-existent.

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.

Why did you choose Polar? Looking for arguments to stay in the ecosystem before upgrading
A few days ago, I bought Polar Grit X2 Copper during a vacation in Italy for a great price (427 EUR) and also bought Vantage V3 Blue for my friend (382 EUR). My friend, before that, considered buying a Garmin Instinct or Forerunner, but who wants to pay 500 EUR more for just a few small advantages,

Polar Vantage M3 vs Garmin Venu 4
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

Polar vs Suunto
I have had the Polar Grit X2 Pro since May 2024. No problem 😉. Only happiness. Polar Flow gets straight to the point. Looking forward to the new version of Polar Flow.

Polar VV3 firmware update 4.3.0
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…

How Long Does Your Watch Last?
My polar grit x is almost 5 years old and still working well. The battery doesn't last as long as it used to, but it's still enough. I'll probably swap out in the new year

Polar Flow Major Overhaul
Wish list:* better integration with Apple Watch and iPhone, especially health data. A workout from Apple Watch should federate into polar flow and vice versa. * resolve the glitchy polar fitness tests and sleep tracking. They are the reason for using the watch - to have that telemetry. They are failin
