Why did you choose Polar? Looking for arguments to stay in the ecosystem before upgrading

Main reasons why I chose Polar: • ⁠Accuracy: H10 is the “gold standard” HR wearable • ⁠Science-base: I love that they have published white papers for all their features • ⁠Privacy: including data storage in EU • ⁠Running training support: H10 + Pacer Pro + Flow give me basically everything I need to

Street X megathread

Nice improvment compared to pacer pro. There is temperature measurement, orthostatic test, recovery pro and leg recovery test which are the features that ppp has not. Also Street X supports cycling sensors which is nice for those who needs it. The manual Street X | Polar Global

Goodbye Polar – My farewell review of the Polar Pacer Pro

Polar I’m pretty sure was the original when it came to sportswatches don’t quote me. But the Pacer pro has everything you need to run a marathon. Not sure why switching a watch would make a difference except you want something shiny and new I guess that’s ok. Polar isn’t going anywhere so no need to

Move to Polar?

I came from garmin to polar. The biggest thing that often doesn't get mentioned enough is that Polar makes sport watches. Their metrics are amazing and I have found them to be very accurate. What Polar doesn't do well are the smart watch features. In my experience, the phone integration is more anno

In the age of AI and trade wars

Switching from Apple to a Polar is a reeeeaaaly big stretch imho. Polar is a fitness watch, Apple watch is a smart watch. They fit in very different segments and expectations. Polar is not without it's flaws. I just bought a Polar Pacer Pro a few weeks ago and agree there is room for improvement. Bu

Welche Laufuhr verwendet ihr?

Habe die Polar Pacer Pro und bin sehr glücklich damit, vor allem der Herzfrequenz-basierte Trainingsplan hat mir am Anfang super geholfen eine gesunde Routine aufzubauen. Hatte vorher eine Garmin und mochte das Ecosystem gar nicht, da ich das Gefühl hatte das alles extra kostet. Habe dann zum Glück

Just about to start! I'm nervous.

I'm in my 50s and 97 kg. I just finished up week 3. I also don't usually carry my phone either. I sync the workout to my Polar Pacer Pro and it gives me a little buzz at the start of each segment. So, you don't have to use the actual app if you have a watch that you can program. Just follow the same

Polar h10

I've had mine for something like, I don't know, 10 years? I've had Polar watches and straps from the year 2001 and the H10 is simply a solid workhorse with easy battery replacement and long battery life. Reliable data, simple use. Zero issues. I use it with my Pacer Pro (previously Vantage M, M430 a

In case you missed it

That matches my experience from past 2 months. HR for running looks good while for cycling seems to be too low. I’ve ordered HR belt and test it over the next weekend. Great watch overall, I’ve upgraded from Polar Pacer Pro and no regrets.

Goodbye Polar – My farewell review of the Polar Pacer Pro

I’ll be honest I have all the latest and greatest I have all polar watches as I do with garmins. I have a rcx5 that if polar would have kept in its eco system I would still be using. I’m not sure what you really want from a watch? Again the latest and greatest is t always the best. Yes you sound lik
