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

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

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

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

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.

M3 vs 265
I bought the Vantage M3 just a couple of days ago, but I was also deciding between the Vantage M3 and Forerunner 265. I haven't had the M3 long enough yet, but I'm very happy with it so far. What I can share is some of the extensive research I did, and maybe this information + other users' comments

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 -
