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

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

Polar Vantage M3 vs Garmin Venu 4
The two watches do not match purpose wise. The Vantage M3 is a multisport performance watch, Garmin Venu 4 is more a general health, wellness watch. The best choice would therefore depend on what you need the watch for. Apart from that, the Venu 4 is generally and overall a more complete watch mixin

Looking for an upgrade
I'm very curious to know what you find excellent about it. I used to love Polar. My first sports watch was a Polar M400. I bought a Polar Vantage M3 out of nostalgia, as an alternative to Garmin. I've tried to love it but failed. The last few days I tried to use it again, but imho it's worthless. Ju
