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 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

Can't update my Vantage M3 to firmware version 5.0.12

I have the same issue with a Vantage M3 bought directly from the Polar onlineshop in November 2025. I tried with polar flow on Android and with FlowSync on Windows. I dont get an update notification in either of these apps. Hope this will resolve soon!

Altitude gain vs. altitude profile completely different

Je constate un comportement similaire sur ma montre Polar Vantage M3 depuis la mise à jour du firmware v 4.1.1. au mois de juin. Les données de dénivelé des sorties VTT sont fausses. Sur un parcours que je fais habituellement avec 500 m de de dénivelé, le résumé de l'activité n'indique que 120 m de

Polar Pacer Pro: customize a watch face and questions about the timer

I reread manuals for Polar Pacer Pro and Polar Vantage M3 several times, comparing their sections regardless of the mentioned function. So, I leave found answers here for someone else. I assume that Polar Flow Web Service doesn't have any additional functionality for watch face customization. Polar

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
