Polar grit x4/17/2023 Swimming - Not super accurate lane tracking, still keeping to my old system of manually tracking with an abacus. Sports tracking: Running - great gps tracking, love having access to pace on my wrist and being able to control music without pulling up my phone. Just waiting for temperatures to get a little warmer. I am yet to test tracking for open water swimming, which is one of the main reason for getting it. GPS: Great tracking, get the same length as my phone usually would track for my runs, and for biking I get the same distance as my bike computer. I have made a few scratches on the bezel/case, nothing you will see unless you look for it. Looks: Love it, went with Nordic Copper as black was just a little plain to me and this watch is also functioning as my daily wear. Did not use a fitness tracker (except phone) before. GPS workout time is really good though, more than I will ever need.Ĭoming up on owning mine 6 weeks as well. This is a case of 'ouch', coming from a Fenix 6X :-), I'm definitely getting used to charging more often. Polar claim 7 days of standby time but with GPS-based workouts every other day, this easily shrinks to 4-5 days. For me it's certainly acceptable, but my Fenix 6 definitely feels a bit faster. The touchscreen isn't terribly responsive, and the firmware on the whole feels a bit laggy at times. For me it's ok but if visibility is important to you, test this first. The display is a bit dim, and I suppose the sapphire lens isn't helping either. I personally like this approach better that Garmin's overloaded watch faces.ĭisplay. I like the dashboard views, allowing you to both see the time and additional information like training load, sunrise etc. So far, I have not missed a proper map, the breadcrumb trail works fine.ĭashboards. Navigation works well in combination with Komoot you get TBT notifications at relevant points during the course. This kinda surprised my, I assumed GPS accuracy to be merely 'OK' as with many recent watches. GPS accuracy generally produces smooth results in my case and seems a tiny bit better than on my Fenix. In addition, the strap feels different from the plastic bands of other brands and looks good too. I realize this is subjective, but I really like the size and the premium look of the Grit X Pro. Hope my experience may be useful for those are looking into this watch. So far, I have used the Grit X Pro for running, trail running, hiking, road biking and mountain biking. Before that, I used a Vantage V so I was already familiar with the Polar ecosystem. ``````i used a Garmin Fenix 6X PS before this watch (I still have it, I loved it too). I really like the watch even though it has a few shortcomings. So I have had a Polar Grit X Pro (Black DLC) for about 6 weeks now and I thought I'd share my experiences with this watch so far.
