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

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

Thinking about replacing my watch
If you don't mind the look, the Coros are much better bang for your buck than Garmin. I personally find them dead ugly so I got a Polar Vantage M3. I don't recommend this to anybody because the app is functionally useless, but it works for me.

Thema Uhr
Ich habe aktuell eine Forerunner 265 und überlege zurück zu Polar (Vantage M3 oder Grit X2) zu wechseln. Meine Vorgängeruhr war die Vantage M die mir 5 Jahre lang gute Dienste geleistet hat bis der Akku aufgegeben hat. Bei den aktuellen Polar Modellen kann der Aklu getauscht werden, außerdem hat die

Running watch for small wrists
If you want to stay in the same ecosystem, Polar has Vantage M3 or the outdoor version Grix X2. They both have maps and both are the size of Pacer Pro.

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

Watch recommendations
It’s not within your price range but I am really happy with my polar vantage m3 as the successor to my broken Apple Watch. A key benefit for me is that it does not try to heavily integrate with the phone, tracks sleep and workouts and I was able to download high quality maps to the watch so it’s rea

Polar OS 5 is here
It's still not possible to create structured workouts with specific pace targets. That makes my Polar completely useless to me. It's also the reason that it's not possible to connect a Polar to apps like Runna. It's a shame that my Vantage M3 is gathering dust somewhere and I had to return to Garmin
