What is good is that Garmin will have people snapping at their heels - I’m a definite Garmin fan but having Suunto and Polar up their game like this is good for the whole market and the consumer

@DesdinovaCrux 4 месяца назад

Its odd how somehow very niche features can become deal breakers. For my trail running, I find Garmin’s Up Ahead feature during routes to be almost essential. If Suunto,Coros and Polar can improve the mapping and navigation a bit for labels etc, and do something similar, it’ll be good for all of us

@chrisar2252 4 месяца назад

The heart rate problem is interesting, I've had that once with the V3 on a run when I didn't tighten it up up a bit before starting, it was pretty obvious when you looked at the chart though. Maybe it's switched momentarily other times and I've not noticed. The V3 is a simple choice for me for the 5 button interface and the app features I use for training, so if I wanted the same things from a tougher watch this would be an easy call. If I was less sport orientated I'd probably get a Garmin for the better mapping, or coros apex or suunto race for the price. Having said that I'm on my third Polar and haven't paid full price for any of them, even the pre-ordered V3 was on 15% discount (shop around!).

@cm99cox 4 месяца назад

Definitely feel like they are pricing themselves out of the market with this one. It truly is a beautiful watch but with it being so much it isn't going to pull polar from their current market share. It offers way less features than Garmin, if you can't compete on features you have to compete on price

Thank you for your review & thoughts. I'm a long-term Polar user, but I've bought an Epix Gen 2 Titanium instead of Grit X2. White Epix Gen 2 was on sale for $699 AUD, I bought two bands from ebay for another $50AUD. That total purchase price is well below the Polar Grit X2 release prices.

@Marcus007 4 месяца назад

Great review! I replaced my Suunto T6 (from 2006) with a Garmin 965 over the Suunto Race bc the Suunto's 2nd class heart rate monitor is a deal breaker IMO given so much of the fitness related metrics are based on HR data. I did like the Suunto Race better aesthetically and it's sapphire crystal tho many inexpensive/great looking covers are available for the 965 on Amazon. My biggest disappointment is that my T6 pc app from 2006 will graph out EPOC with HR & time making it far more useful when honing cardio workouts given a desired schedule frequency - so Garmin needs to add that capability ASAP. This Polor looks nice, tho expensive, and I look forward to yr in depth review. Please focus on the companion Polor PC/Phone app functionality and HR monitor accuracy given it's the foundation of most of the smart watch apps. In fact, I'd love a vid comparing the PC apps from different manufacturers and any notable 3rd party apps as I mostly engage the data over PC or phone rather than on the watch. Thanks!

@PERFECTWORKOUT 4 месяца назад

I've always been a huge Polar fan ❤and I like the app's interface by far the best! But for everyday use, I say if you have an iPhone you can't go back to any other watch without an Apple Ultra watch with an eSIM card. Nevertheless, my M430 is preferred for competitions, it is half as heavy and doesn't surprise me with intelligent messages that distract me at the wrong moment😅

@jeffreytillack4709 4 месяца назад

I also have the Apple Ultra. It’s been a huge disappointment. The health metrics are rubbish for athletes and very amateurish for “normal” people. With the exception of Apple Pay I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

@PERFECTWORKOUT 4 месяца назад

According to my research, the Apple Ultra offers the most accurate heart rate, GPS and sleep data of any provider...

@jeffreytillack4709 4 месяца назад

Nope. My Ultra gets it wrong every single day. Yet my 4 year old Suunto 9 Baro nails it. GPS is pretty good and heart rate is accurate most of the time although it does bounce around on occasion. As a smartwatch though for every day it can’t be beaten .

@TriMMA-ux2ug 4 месяца назад

I was hoping they would bring out a new Grit X, and that they would give it a MIP screen. Keep the Oled for the Vantage. That makes sense in a way since it is an outdoor watch, MIP has much better battery life which is perfect for outdoors The price is insane, worried this is set by the banks, since people are saying Polar is doing bad financially There is NO WAY on earth paying these prices. I can own a Fenix 7, AND a Forerunner 955 for that money, think about that, how bonkers that price is. Even the Vantage V3 is much cheaper (already on sale for $500 about), that is $300 less than their own other product, that does the same thing. Have owned many a Polar but Vantage V2 might be my last for a while Back to Garmin probably, and Suunto looks interesting too Polar is just lost in the woods, sadly, would have liked them do better But the new Vantage and Grid X are utter flops , when they needed to make a clutch move like the Suunto Race Hope you are reading Polar, because I, and iiuc others care about you as company, but you need to shape up or ship out IMHO 😢

@astasuleo 4 месяца назад

i will agree with you on the MIP display. They would have think about keeping the MIP for the GritX 2Pro. Now they have 2 watches at the same almost area. If Garmin Fenix will do the same on the Fenix 8 and instead of the MIP goes for an Amoled i think they will definately loose lots of customers.

@srinivasss4369 2 месяца назад

Hi can you include water resistance and swim analysis in your next videos? The 10atm water resistance was the main reason I had got the gritxpro, and there are fewer watches that cater to that section. Nice video 👍

@OrigWJ 4 месяца назад

It’s a beautiful watch, but tough to stomach the price unless it’s packed with features. Many people looking to spend $850 (titanium) on a fitness watch most likely have a different “going out” watch (IMO).

@grimkur 4 месяца назад

Still no gym mode support with rep/set counters or even the possibility to create GPS routes from the app... Classic from POLAR, nice looking watches, with good hardawre, but super late on features 🙄 The only way the price would be really justified, is if POLAR sarted implementing features and firmware updates more frequently along the way, instead of going on with the 6 month watch releases like they still do today...

The looks are awesome, but I am affraid it may be too big for my wrist, I guess I would need to take a look at it personally. It is a good step forward, batterly life sounds promising, but the price is going to make it a really hard sell. I use the old Grit X Pro up to this day and I really like the aesthetics of it and has not bothered me with many weird bugs, nowadays it is pretty stable and reliable. I guess I'll stick to it for some time yet, and I hope Polar can get afloat with these new watches, which is find also a real hard sell, which is sad.

Huge bummer after 12 years with Polar... Recently bought a used Polar Grit X Pro Titanium (6 months ago), but it keeps crashing, losing data (heart rate, activities), and many times it won't sync (tried Bluetooth & cable), so I have to make Factory reset once a week. Went to send it for repair, but found out Polar's warranty doesn't cover used watches. Garmin, on the other hand, warranties even pre-owned ones (got Garmin's confirmation by e-mail)! Plus, they have SpO2, Garmin Pay... It seems like Polar is falling behind and is slowly dying... Think I'll switch to Garmin...

@mindFaceContinuum 3 месяца назад

Interesting. After having two Garmin watchbands fail, four years apart, with abysmal customer support response, is why I'll never buy Garmin again. However, for 11 years and 5 models, Polar's customer service has been stellar and on point.

@testaccsolutions6784 4 месяца назад

fun fact, both polar and suunto are from finland - having said it, both these two companies produce tremendous and glorious watch, well, I do have to agree with you on the price and the competition out there, especially when suunto launch the race model and garmin up-ed the ante by bringing in the epix gen 2 pro, with not only loads of software feature, but hardware too. its going to be a tough choice for consumers out there. im happy with my original epix gen 2 that is already feature packed, could be something to look at now, since garmin slash the price by nearly half.

Polar seems to be already struggling. Not to mention no one here in Utah sells Polar anymore. No one. Polar website or Amazon now. And you can’t even get the V3 on Amazon, and you can get anything on Amazon. So I’m really struggling to why they set such a high price point. Especially when Suunto said screw it, and set the Race at such a low price. I have the V3 and love it but I still don’t know it’s worth the 600$ price I paid. Maybe if it came with a sapphire glass screen? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Which information are better in perspective of training, recovering, planing and like a actual competition (I.e. marathon). Please also compare the Apps and the Browser-Software. Does Polar delivers everything I need as an Athlet? I honestly think most of the gadget of the Garmin are not relevant. That might be great

@chriski9391 4 месяца назад

I would consider buying it for 599€. You can easily get an Epix 2 SS for 620€ and an Epix 2 pro for 699€ on sale (Europe). With Wifi, Body Battery, Stress, way better Maps, NFC, 3rd Party Apps etc. So 749€ for the Grit X 2 Pro is way too much money. Polar Flow will need a overhaul too.

Aside from the display, there’s really no competition here. The Enduro 2 is way ahead in almost every aspect (although waiting for the final review).

Heck, even my G-Shocks move are better in this regard than the Vertical (GBD-H200 and GW-H5600). Suunto is crazy with their pricing and their carbon offset scheme. They need to remember than Finland's economy is different than the rest of the worlds (and i should know, my wife works there). As far as this watch goes, Polar have drank the same cool-aid as Suunto have. More expensive than the AWU2 and even more expensive then the Garmin Epix Pro Gen 2 while severely lacking in everything when compared to them. Again, even the G-Shocks have better OHR accuracy and this baffles me since it's their algorithms but i guess a fool and his money...

The Grit X2 Pro sure is a nice looking watch, but designwise it's just a copy of the Fenix/Epix-Series, which also hast become a little boring over the past years. I preferred the design of the previous Grit X an the Grit X Pro. Even with the good built quality, the price ist way too high in my opinion.

Stay far away from the Fenix price. They can’t even shift that watch

A Garmin Fenix - without the maps... and many more. Sorry Polar.

@ChaseTheSummit 4 месяца назад

It’s got maps. Just not routeable maps like Garmin.

@@ChaseTheSummit Yeah, I've seen it. They are a bit iffy to me. Not what we're used to.

Is it just my opinion or all companies in 2024 are trying to catch with what Garmin did in 2022 with their Epix Gen 2 and Fenix 7?

@ChaseTheSummit 4 месяца назад

I tend to agree that Garmin has set the standard but I do think these other brands to offer unique advantages in some areas. For example Polar has excellent sleep metrics!

@brianrosenberger9485 4 месяца назад

Why is the price soo bad? A 51mm Epix pro 2 is $1100 at best buy.. a 47mm is 999…. this is $250 cheaper

@ChaseTheSummit 4 месяца назад

The Epix Pro starts at $899 for the Standard model and has a lot more "smart" features like music support, NFC payments, the Connect IQ app store, and much more. The Suunto Race is $449 and has almost the same feature set and build quality. I guess in my opinion the Grit X2 Pro is positioned in a tough spot at it's price even though it's a great looking and built watch!

The are bunch of people (men) who will pay a lot for a good looking/rugged "sporty smartwatch". It has everething for them: sapphire glass, amoled display, steel, eye catching bezel and it can record some "activities". I know too many people who has epix/Fenix and barely using GPS activities (not even using also Garmin pay, music etc.). This might be the target.

@brianrosenberger9485 4 месяца назад

I think Epix is overpriced. I can’t wait to see what Coros does with AMOLED

@highseastrader4190 4 месяца назад

The Epix non-Pro is at 750$ on Garmin's website (non-Sapphire, though). No-brainer.

@brianrosenberger9485 4 месяца назад

@@highseastrader4190 not a no brainer to me though.. that’s the older epix although it’s not that old and no sapphire

How can Polar still forget to add a Barometer widget and Storm alarm!!! An adventure watch? Really! No altitude acclimation, no Storm Alarm, no jetlag advisor. GARMIN lead the way when it comes to features

@ChaseTheSummit 4 месяца назад

There is an Altimeter and Compass widget but yeah, no raw barometer data or storm alarm which is odd for a watch like this.
