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

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

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 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

Polar vantage m3- recovery
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

Help me choose a running watch!
I’ve used Garmin (forerunner 255) and Polar (Vantage M3). Both great. Polar feels more centered around training and recovery (in terms of UI on the app and phone), while Garmin has the same features (and more) but also more fluff (badges, body battery, challenges). I think Garmin is better if you wa

Conclusion: Polar Loop vs Helio Strap (after 9 days)
I know n=1 here (both one person and one workout), but I took my Vantage M3 for a swim last Saturday, for the first time since owning it since May (my son's swim class started), and it detected my strokes spot on, 500 m breaststroke and 475 m freestyle. I do 10 lengths of the same stroke, pause, the
