"Polar has some of the most powerful and capable training tools in its Polar Flow software that is available online and in smartphone apps. Its newest watch, the , provides a robust wearable that captures all of your key health and fitness data to feed into the Polar Flow ecosystem so that you can measure your performance and track trends to help you achieve your goals."
"Whereas Garmin has been expanding into the smartwatch space with features such as speakers, microphones, payment systems, subscription music support, and satellite services, Polar (like Coros and Suunto), continues to focus primarily on health and wellness. Polar's rugged watches are built to withstand the rigors of an active lifestyle while providing some basic smartwatch functionality, such as app notifications."
"I tried out the Polar Grit X2 Pro in 2024. The Grit X2 provides the same experiences, but in a slightly smaller and sleeker package, priced $200 less. (The Grit X2 Pro increased in price by $250 to $1,000 since my 2024 review.) The $800 price point of the Grit X2 remains rather expensive for a GPS sports watch with limited smartwatch capabilities."
Polar Flow provides powerful training tools accessible online and via smartphone apps. The Polar Grit X2 records comprehensive health and fitness metrics and syncs them to Polar Flow to measure performance and track trends. Polar emphasizes health and wellness features rather than expanding smartwatch capabilities such as speakers, payments, music subscriptions, or satellite services. Polar's rugged watches are designed for active lifestyles while offering basic smartwatch functions like app notifications. The Grit X2 matches the Grit X2 Pro experience in a smaller, lighter package priced $800, with the Pro priced at $1,000, and offers up to 30 hours of GPS tracking.
