Polar Street X or Vantage M3

I got Vantage V3 (not M3) and im in love. Every struggle I've had with my Polar Pacer Pro (which seems that Street X is kinda Polar Pacer Pro 2.0) has been solved. Dual GPS, better kcal assumptions (finally I believe them), actual weather and touchscreen. So I don't know if you can affor V3 (and if

Sports watch advice

As a happy owner of the Pacer Pro, I naturally recommend it—I do all the same sports as you, and this watch fully meets my needs. Polar is an extremely high-quality brand—all my watches from the past 25 years are still in like-new condition; they just need charging and are ready to hit the trail aga

Goodbye Polar – My farewell review of the Polar Pacer Pro

No running watch is perfect, and it matters what is most important to you and what conditions you use it in. I used to have the M430 for ages and more recently got the Pacer Pro, which has in the meanwhile aged a bit but I am quite happy with it for what I am doing (running mostly). I cannot comment

Ramblings to justify purchases

You won't miss anything important going from Suunto to Polar from a running perspective, one thing to note is Suunto's GPS is generally a bit more precise (across their models, they do GPS really really well) versus the Polar Pacer Pro (which is good, but not even as good as some older Polar models,

Best Polar Watch for my needs?

Based on your usage, the Polar Pacer Pro should be enough, I used it for a few months. However, I switched to the M3, because it has better GPS accuracy and since i occasionally go for a hike, the map feature is great for me. I have been using it for 8 months and love it

Looking for a running watch on a budget

I have the Pace 4. The only features I wish it had that it doesn't have are live mapping (it has turn by turn navigation but not against a map, just a breadcrumb trail) and tighter music integration (it has music controls but no in watch Spotify so you have to bring your phone with you). Other than

What watches are people using with the Polar Verity Sense?

Pacer Pro. One interesting aspect I've found since getting the Polar H10. I care less about the watch. Like I don't feel the need to upgrade the watch as the Pacer Pro is fine. No wrist optical heart rate sensor can match the Polar H10. Lots of 3rd party apps available that make the H10 even more us

Pacer Pro got new Firmware 3.0.7

Nothing of real use for me, but I'm surprised it was updated :) Actually one of the updates (not Polar's fault) is that I can't select Galileo and have to use Russian satellites. Polar Pacer Pro 3.0.7 firmware update | Polar Global

Smartwatch suggestions?

Not only 1 right answer. Coros, suunto, polar are all great watches and honestly it comes down to user. I have suunto vertical which have medicore WHR, their 2nd version of vertical 2 and race 2 improved that. But coros vertix, apex 4 or pacer pro are also great options. Consider some models from po
