Polar Grit X Pro In-Depth Review: 9 New Things To Know
Рет қаралды 116,170
Күн бұрынPolar has announced a handful of new watches today, but the main headliner is the new Polar Grit X Pro. It technically comes in two flavors - the base Grit X Pro which includes not only a new look, but a pile of new software features. And then the Grit X Pro Titan, which includes all those same new features and new look - but also a lower weight and leather strap.
Within the new software features Polar has added new dashboards that appeal to the outdoors realm, including a daylight dashboard, as well as an altimeter & compass dashboard. They’ve also added a new route profile page, as well as TrackBack feature. Beyond that the company has pulled in virtually all of the features of the Polar Vantage V2 that it introduced last fall, plus new features added from the Polar Ignite 2 this past spring - including heart rate sharing/broadcasting.

"Lots of stuff coming" - you know how to tease... :-D Anyhow, it is nearly in F6 price range if I understand well. If(when) F7 comes out, F6 prices may drop to this. At the same time, those navigation features were already available in F2 I think, but definitely in F3. Regarding the various tests: do you find "figure out from all data" estimates as accurate as these dedicated tests? And is their absolute value actually important (for someone not a pro) or only the changes? (so that absolute errors do not matter that much).

Well, Garmin is about 10 times bigger than Polar, and it's American which plays a big role in sales i.e you can buy a Garmin anywhere basically, whereas a Polar is bit harder to find. So, yeah, unless Polar people come up with watches that can catch up and even kill Garmin's 245, 745 and Fenix, then it'll be soon game over for Polar, which would be a complete shame because I like Polar better, their web app is simply much, much better for training and also their algorithms for calories and recovery, just simply better than Garmin's. But sometimes I feel like getting a Garmin because my Polar misses so many feats like customization, music, notifications while training, etc. Gonna give it this whole year, see what they can do

sad to see that polar is only making pointless updates on watches instead of focusing on improving their existing ecosystem. Vantage V2 already has all the relevant functions of this grit X update. autonomy improvement is a joke compared to other brands that also come with real features for outdoor activities (offline maps) and more fancy ones such as offline music (and I'm not even talking of the bigger screen). they'd rather produce a watch that is able to match competition or focus on improving their flow platform, wich is great but completely closed to import from other platforms (external plans for instance, which is available in Garmin or coros when you define your plan in trainingpeaks).

Great video ! For an outdoor watch, not having altitude and barometric pressure available on the home screen is pretty inexcusable.

@@tams805 I'm a 30 years polar customer, believe me, flow is not even at the level of their previous platform to manage your training : you still can't define your own standard plans, which was possible before. The integration with Trainingpeaks or other platform that enable you to define your own standard plans is only here to export your workout data. If you have a standard plan for different types of race, you have to manually plan everything (when you train 5 times a week or more using 12 weeks plans, you are seriously considering this as a key point ! esp. when you where able to create a new plan instance in one click before) Garmin and coros already let you do this with TP. As far as I'm concerned my vantage V will be my last polar watch as flow is a complete regression on the planning and training management part.

@devcreature4883 2 жыл бұрын
Polar's long-time user here. I'm a bit disappointed with the Polar new watches. Really, as a competitive cyclist they are of no use to me (sadly). And their cycling computers are stuck in 2015. (Yet, I'm still using my old m460 and I'm kinda happy with it. If it only had navigation / maps...) Moreover, the watch won't help me with my gym workouts. But what I found the most disturbing is that Polar's Training load is kinda different from Coggan/ Skibba's metrics, giving me completely different results. For example, I hit TSB at -10 (according to Friel, I've just reached my proper training stress balance) and Polar tells me I'm overreaching. Yet, the orthostatic test says otherwise - you're good to go! That's a mess. Relaying on Polar's indications made me stuck in a training plateau for a few months. So, having fancy Polar watch forces me to go back to "how do you feel today" technique (RPE). Well... Bad luck I guess. Is it a time to switch to Garmin? The only thing that really keeps me in Polar's corner is the Nightly Recharge.

The problem I have, and it isn't just this watch, is that with my older eyes (I use magnify glasses for reading only) I have problems reading the screen with the fonts and font size they use. On my Fenix 3 I've configured 1 field per page just to make things easier to view. On the Grit X Pro elevation screen I'd have no ability to see all those details they squeezed on unless I could (but can't) hold the watch face 1 metre away from my face. It is just a blur. It's the same when you load a course onto the Fenix 3. At each turn they have an itty bitty arrow in the middle of the screen. Why not make it fill the whole screen? I'd like these things thought of when designing the watch.

@@0812016547 I was die-hard Polar fan since 2010 when the FT4 came out, then I had M430, Vantage V ( 1st gen) but I have to confess after Vantage I switched to Garmin about a year ago… I still believe the Flow is superior compared to the Garmin Connect, which is way to overcomplicated for a regular user, and the Fenix series has a lot of unnecessary “fashion functions” but the Polar has years of latency . I hoped something like an offline map function at least for this new Grit-X, but these features in 2021 is just simply not enough. :(

@Gilbert same they ruled the heart rate monitor days before garmin then they went backwards when they introduced their gps and they decided to go into the smart watch scene due to their CEO who had other paths for polar. But since their whole restructuring of their head office and vision they back to their place re sports and although they're might lack some things I still think they will start improving more and more. Garmins quality has been worse over the last two Years and especially with their multi sports watches and fenix 5 and 6.

Everything that Polar advertises as brand new on their devices is in fact "brand old" for any other Company :(

Oh, they still do watches? Well, they should, and push hard to catch up with Garmin and Coros

if you are looking for gadgets (music, etc) garmin is leading)). For performance analyzing, polar is far ahead (no useless gadget, etc ! only performance and accuracy) Chose your way...

I really don't get the point of the watch size. What's the point of making the housing and screen glass so big if you're going to use only 60% of the screen size and the rest is unusable. Looks ridiculous!

These watches require more time learning how to use them than you spend actually using them.
@Dcrainmaker 2 жыл бұрын
Umm, how so? I literally use these watches constantly, year round. Most watches I use for about a month before publishing a review. The Grit X Pro isn't much different than the Grit X that I use frequently in comparisons - save a few new data fields/pages.

@@Dcrainmaker "I literally use these watches constantly, year round." -- That's why you don't mind it. To a newcomer this whole paradigm of assigning complex multi-level menus to arbitrary combination of four button presses is absurd. If we want computers on the wrist, make the screen much bigger and touch sensitive, like smartphones.

@@mountainhobo Ah, sorry, I thought you were saying me (as in, DCR) wasn't using them enough to learn how to use them. My apologies. On your point, yes, I very much agree with you - many of them are faaaaaar too complex with little discoverability of features.

@@mountainhobo Rather buy an entry-level watch with less features then? There are many options out there. Personally I found my Garmin Fenix overwhelming at first, but as you progress and become more serious with your training, you naturally start using more and more of those features and now I find it extremely easy to navigate all the menus and settings and use just about everything.

Well I'm back to my old reliable GXP, because i have no idea what Garmin has been doing to their software but enough is enough. And the Polar Flow app is WAY better than Garmin connect, seriously. I still need to tinker a bit with the settings (i forgot a lot) but it's doing what I need and nothing i don't. 👍😁
