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

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

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

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

Which Polar Watch to buy in 2025?

“Thanks, I’ve been with Polar since the M400, and I’ve tried Coros and Suunto, but I always end up coming back to Polar. The Vantage M3 is my first choice to buy, my only fear is that a new watch might come out this year with some interesting feature that the M3 won’t have.”

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

Polar vs Suunto

Over the past three years I have had Polar Pacer Pro, Vantage M3, Suunto Race and Garmin Fenix ​​7. Now I am going back to Polar Pacer Pro. It is cheap, lightweight, has everything an active fitness enthusiast needs (running, cycling, hockey, hiking, rollerblading, skiing). I switched to Garmin beca

Fitspark (the suggested workout function) does use your Nightly Recharge status (so no naps taken into account) to suggest workouts, it also uses your training history but as far as I can see, not your activity, so The documentation is here: https://support.polar.com/e_manuals/vantage-m3/polar-vanta
