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

What stats / metrics / features do you actually use?

I’ve gone through two phases with my Polar Vantage M3: Cycle 1 – The data scientist phase: I used to track everything: sleep, recovery, tests — you name it. I was marathon training and obsessed with numbers. It quickly became too much: I even felt anxious about getting a “good sleep score.” My famil

Which model should I choose?

I have 3 comments: - the subscription based training plan has been lunched months ago but it is a plus thing. Polar still offers a wide variety of free training plans. - TQS is way overrated in my opinion. He bases his results only on his person's test and several times you can see the result do not

So all of these are great, but which one to choose?(Suunto Race S, Polar avant m3or coros Pace pro)

Vantage M3 is VERY good. I was really positively surprised (I used to have the Pacer). It's very reliable, build quality is superb, it's beautiful and Polar's algorithms are probably the best (and this factor is very important for me because I'm a relatively serious athlete). I was considering Suunt

watch to replace my samsung watch 7 40mm

Most of the higher end models of Polar will give you the same metrics, so I would be looking across the vantage M3/V3, and the grit x2/pro. I have a Vantage M3 and the battery life gets me about 5 days of use (I use GPS most days, probably between 3-5 hours a week at least). The more expensive optio

Polar Street X or Vantage M3

I just ordered the Street X over the Vantage M3 yesterday. While the Vantage M3 is on sale now, it still cost SGD 150 (about 100 euro) more than the Street X. Having said that, I guess it depend on your use cases. For me I don't run a lot (but trying to do more this year), but do mainly strength tra

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

I have just H10 from Polar that I use with a cheap Garmin watch that I got on a whim without doing much research. I'm not going to replace it just yet while it still works, but my next watch is probably going to be a Polar, for both accuracy and science and sport focus (whereas Garmin seems to care

Best alternative to Garmin watch: Polar?

Polar is the most pro-eu company on activity watches. Withings would be an alternative, but I'm not sure if their products would fit your needs. I own a garmin FR 265 and my partner a polar vantage m3. I bought mine after my previous Garmin 255 had its GPS breaking down and got a full refund. Spec-w

Vantage M3/Grit X2 questions

I have my Vantage M3 since May this year. It looks a bit beaten up already, mostly from hitting the watch on doorhandles. While this watch is thinner than my previous watch, it sits higher on my wrist due to the way the lugs attach to the strap. There's a very fine crack in the screen, as in thin as

Still worth buying a Polar watch (at discount)

Sleep tracking is very good and reliable, I almost never loose a night's sleep data and the associated ANS data. What's cool with Polar is the sensor is basically the same from the Vantage range and up. So you can get a Vantage M3 and you get the same performance as a Grit X2 Pro... what changes is
