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

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

Hardloophorloge

Ja zelf al een tijd heel erg tevreden met een polar m430 en nu een polar pacer pro, partner is met de vantage M3 ook heel blij. Vind het wel een fijn idee dat het een Europees bedrijf is en je data ook binnen Europa blijft.

Polar fitness watch recommendations for women

At the moment, Polar Vantage M3 is the best offer from Polar. I would recommend doing a research about it and deciding if you want Polar at all. Research well brand specifics, tracking capabilities, and so on. Polar is nice but has its downsides, like weak update policies and some people may find th

Polar vantage M3 vs Apple Watch series 10

Ah, I had the same debate with myself and ended up going with the Polar Vantage M3. Main reason was the battery, just lasts way longer and don't have to worry about it much. I thought I would miss the smart features of an AW way more than I actually do. The only thing I really miss is the notificati

Suunto Run - Worth It?

It's a great watch for your needs. Ridiculous value! A lot of people on Reddit are crying over this or that with Suunto right now. But don't let a very vocal minority steer you away from a very good option. Depending on where you are and deals, you might be able to find either the Race/Race S or eve

Switching from Fit to Polar Vantage M3

Yes, the M3 can do all that and much more. I’m not familiar with Fitbit, but Polar built its reputation on heart rate training for athletes, rather than lifestyle watches. The M3 has the same firmware as the more expensive watches, just with a smaller screen and battery. And it would integrate perfe

If you looked at Garmin, or Apple/Samsung, what made you stay?

Garmin - I don't like the ecosystem. Too much data. Maybe suitable for professionals. Suunto - Almost the same but better. Almost made me switch. Samsung - Don't need a smartwatch. Falls apart in maps, lacks external chest strap connectivity. Poor batter (Ultra maybe would be OK) One Plus Watch 3 -

Watch for someone who has an apple watch but hated Garmin

I actually switched from AW to 265s and loved it especially because of the buttons. It’s less of a modern smartphone like gadget experience and more of a classic digital watch thing with a nicer screen. I recently tried a Polar Vantage M3 at Amsterdam marathon expo. It seemed like a better offer on
