Erg blij met mijn 6 km PR maar ik schrok wel een beetje van de hartslag 🤯
Het kan wel enorm verschillen, althans wel bij mij. Ik heb door de jaren heen een aantal inspanningstesten gedaan bij de sportarts in het ziekenhuis. Dat is uiteraard met professionele apparatuur. Ter vergelijking heb ik dit naast een aantal horloges en hartslagbanden gehouden. Puur uit interesse. D

You have to give them credit for that - this slogan is really good.
I was convinced that the loop would be an upgrade/change to my polar grit x, but no spO2 is really disappointing. I feel like most other sensors have that

DC Rainker Review of the T-Rex 3 Pro
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 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.

Chinese ownership caused me to switch
I would have liked to buy a Polar grit x2 or a vantage M3, but I don't like the slightly too holistic approach whereby Polar overlaps step counting with other activities. I want a device that differentiates the tracking of individual activities. It's a shame because I really appreciate Polar's minim

Garmin watch and kettlebell (cleans)
I used to have a small watch (Garmin vivosmart4 I think?) that I could turn around to avoid this issue. Now I have a bigger watch (Polar GritXPro) and I use a chest strap (Polar H10). My understanding is that the H10 is the gold standard for HR monitoring during workouts (at least per Quantified Sci

Suunto Vertical 2 as casual wear
I'm in love with the watch since I hot it. It's looks good, while it's big. But the design is very good. I had a slitghly smaller watch (Polar Grit X) which looked bigger

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)

questions about Suunto vs Garmin on VO2 max, HRV etc
Hi! I'm coming from the Polar Grit X and am using the Vertical 2 for two months now. I stopped using the Polar app years ago. Looked at it once per week. Now I'm looking everyday and it's useful. As for HRV. Suunto warned me that it was too high. And indeed I got sick. Severe cold. VO2max is a gimmi
