Polar Grit X Pro Titan - Premium Outdoor GPS Sports Watch - Military-Durability, Sapphire Glass, Wrist-based Heart Rate Monitor, Ultra-Long Battery, Navigation - Trail Running, Mountain Biking

I love polar, like this watch a lot. I like it enough to tale the poor stuff on the chin.If your after a great touchscreen experience this is not the watch to buy.Straps nice, with saphire glass. It's all good. Oh apart from the touchscreen

I loved this watch from the first moment I saw it; Its stunning and has loats of features; Also its a very strong watch, military grade with the addition of an anti scrath Saphire glass; I could not be happier!!

The media could not be loaded.  (13/10/22). The watch navigation system takes a bit of getting used to but having done three walk/jogs I am beginning to understand the depth and variety of features. Sure you will need to watch YouTube vids to explain stuff but I think the payback will be worth it.KOMOOT (a mapping tool) is pushed quite hard by Polar but unless you need to make a map before an excursion, I would simply start training and by default all the important parameters are recorded in the Polar Flow cloud account (free). A lot of effort and time have gone into this and a neat animated re-run of any of these recorded runs is aa super feature (see vid).(11/10/22). I bought with a healthy discount that the open box items get. Was blemish free as per Amazon Warehouse description and £250 is a great price. Crystal glass and a steel bezel make for a solid and nice looking piece and begin to explain the price differential over resin or plastic cases and gorilla glass faces.At 63, I am drinking and eating too much and exercising too little. I am placing this gizmo at the centre of my recovery plan (to shape up generally and do a half marathon in six months). In this context the investment is not at all expensive if its going to help me turn my life around. Also consider Adrian Chiles 2022 book on drinking less - interesting.The watch is well documented and reviewed elsewhere. Heart rate is an important one for me, as is GPS, calories and the sleep analysis. Do not get too bothered about absolute accuracy as it is the improvement of key indicators that is way far more important than absolute, pin point accuracy (IMO). Having said that, reviews indicate good absolute accuracy (depending on terrain).

Bought this to replace my Polar Vantage V. Haven’t found any problems with it so far, couple of additional features over the Vantage but most of it remains the same. You can control your music through it and a few other features which I haven’t used yet.

Eysi to use works perfect for me

The Polar Grit X Pro is a solid 4* product to me, unfortunately for the price it should be 5*. Despite being marketed as being for “outdoors” enthusiasts, the Grit X Pro’s feature set is still a little lacking compared to the competition in this respect. The watch is self is a good solid, high quality piece. Solid also means it’s a tad on the heavy side. I like the FKM strap but it seems to be a bit of a sweat trap. The screen is a decent enough size but the display itself is mediocre. It’s transflective, supposedly best in bright sunlight. Not exactly a big feature of the British climate. The display has poor contrast and colours are dull, far from vibrant but that’s the norm for displays of this type. It’s also a touch screen, which is the biggest waste of time going and generally a poor performer. Polar needn’t have bothered. Some of the on screen numerals and characters could do with being bigger too. I find battery life is ok but that's all. Heart rate monitoring is the best I've ever expereinced in a watch, closely rivaling Polar's chest strap monitors. I tend to only wear watches of this type when I’m doing an activity I want to measure and track. So the bucket full of 24/7 health, performance and sleep monitoring it does is superfluous to me. A lot of it is gym rat orientated rather than for “outdoorsy” people anyway. As far as outdoorsy goes. I don’t like that Polar do not have an integrated way within the Flow app for creating and uploading routes into the watch. You have to use third party products like komoot. A clunky approach! There is no barometer trend graph, like my Garmin Instinct has, just internet sourced weather forecasts. That’s crap! Hills and mountains have their own weather, the forecast for the nearest town can be of no relevance. A barometric trend can warn you of changing weather. Also in the hills and mountains you can be out of internet connection for days if you are doing an extended trip. To much internet dependence is not good. The GPS sampling rate doesn’t really fit with hiking and walking either, you’ve either got 1 second or the next option 1 minute. It needs some options like 5 or 10 seconds. The power off function needs adding to quick links rather than being massively buried in the device menus. A decent firmware update could bump the Grit X Pro up to 5* quite easily.

Wasn't sure of buying this one but it has changed my running routine. Very accurate and super tough.This has accompanied me through many miles and many countries.Good simple functionality, not as flashy as some of the others. The touch screen is overly sensitive when you don't want it to be so using the lock button has become a must for me. Battery life is really good and the compass to find your way back home came in handy when lost in Central park 😀
