After 3 months of purchase, i can say this sport watch is changing my life for the better, it does everything it is advertised for pretty well, if you are new to Polar expect maybe a learning curve, but afterwards you will see all the health benefits that it can bring to your life
Was sofort unschn ins Auge fllt: das tatschliche Display der Grid X ist genauso gro wie das der Garmin, die Uhr aber wesentlich grer. Grund: ein 5 mm breiter schwarzer Rand im Glas, der so tut, als wre er Teil des Displays. Das spart sicher Strom und fhrt zu sehr guter Akkulaufzeit, macht aber die Uhr klotzig und sieht sch..e aus.
Anders als bei der Garmin ist die Grid X ohne Beleuchtung kaum ablesbar, aktiviert diese aber automatisch bei Bewegung. Funktioniert halbwegs, geht aber auch eleganter. Die Tastenbelegung ist eingngig, die abrufbaren Funktionen berschaubar. Es ist eben ausdrcklich keine SmartWatch, sondern ein Fitnesstracker. Stoppuhr, Wecker und Timer sind aber vorhanden, sogar Navi. Allerdings nur fr zuvor zu ladende Wege. Hab’s bislang aber nicht ausprobiert.
Die GPS-Verbindung klappt schnell und tadellos, die Wegmessung ist entsprechend einwandfrei. Die Pulsmessung hat sich im Vergleich mit paralleler Brustgurtmessung sogar als sehr akkurat dargestellt, dito Hhenmessung im Vergleich zu Kartenwerten bei zB Komoot. Top! Und viel besser als Garmin und Wahoo Bolt, die gerne 10 (Bolt) bis 30% (Garmin) daneben liegen. Weniger Gut: Schrittzhler. Keine Ahnung, wie oder was die Grid X da zhlt, aber mit Schritten hat das wenig zu tun, das Resultat sind weit berhhte Phantasiewerte fernab jeder Realitt. Selbst als reiner Bewegungsindikator unbrauchbar.
Die Konnektivitt zur datenaufbereitenden Polar-App ist so la la und funktioniert nicht wie bei der Garmin automatisch, sondern jeweils erst nach Start der App manuell per Tastendruck an der Uhr. Und das muss dann meist mehrfach wiederholt werden, weil die initialen Versuche durchweg erfolglos abbrechen. Auch das geht weitaus eleganter.
Der Umfang der Datenaufbereitung in der App ist gut und reichlich, mir htte noch eine kalendarisch-summarische Zusammenfassung von km/kcal/Hhenmetern/etc gefehlt.
In Summe ist die Grid X eine recht gute Uhr fr Trainingsmessung auf dem Rad, die die bei Garmin vorzufindenen erheblichen Mngel vermeidet, dafr aber eigene (berflssige) kleinere Defizite mitbringt. Als Laufuhr drfte aber womglich das Problem mit der fehlerhaften Schrittmessung strker negativ ins Gewicht fallen.
TLDR: if you can get it under $450, nowadays is still a good watch for the price. I would like to give it 4.5 stars as it is close from 5 stars than it is from 4 stars for that price, but Amazon doesn’t include that option.
I’ve been using this watch for a couple of months now, and while I had some problems at the beginning, after a factory reset the watch has been behaving very well. It certainly doesn’t have the latest and greatest tech such as dual-band GPS or maps for context when you’re following a route, but to be honest these are things I don’t really Its accuracy is very good for a single band GPS (I usually set it to use GPS and GLONASS as I do MTB every weekend) and I’ve found that sometimes it even returned better accuracy than my Wahoo ELEMNT ROAM, which has dual-band GPS. I remember once I had a bug in the ROAM where the route was not loading in the computer, I used the navigation from the watch and it was very usable. Sure it was less convenient for the watch position and the sport, but it can get you out of a pinch and the compass is accurate enough to even track MTB in the trails.
That being said, a very noticeable thing for me as soon as I got it from the box was the weight: maybe I was spoiled from my previous watch which was very lightweight, a Polar Vantage M2, but the quality of the materials and the extra components are immediately noticeable as soon as you pick it. In your wrist, you get used to it after a few days of wearing it, however, you need to be more careful when tightening the strap when you sleep, as it can produce inaccurate readings, or even detect long periods of time as ‘unrecognized’ if you press your watch against your body, as the weight will make it slide and lose contact with your skin.
When it comes to sports, despite you can get used to the watch weight, you can certainly feel it when you are making any bouncy sport, such as mountain biking, and you need to set it very tight to avoid the bouncing to affect the heart rate readings much. Whereas the strap itself is comfortable (more on that later) a tight watch may be uncomfortable no matter what, in my case I use an external heart rate sensor, so I can set the watch a little loose and still get accurate data; you will still feel the watch bouncing, but it won’t hurt your wrist, your mileage may vary on that end.
The strap is from FKM rubber and whereas I had the impression of being bulky in the videos, it is very sleek and probably the most comfortable strap I’ve tried, it is very breathable, and it dries very quickly. I like it and I would probably switch it just for style or color matching for some occasions. When it comes to durability, the watch has proven to be very durable, I’ve had a couple of crashes in my MTB with zero damage to the watch, I’ve hit the bezel once against a metal gate and the one who got the pain chipped was the gate lol, and I’ve been using it both outdoors doing MTB every weekend and in the gym without any physical marks either on the watch or the screen so far. Time will tell as two months it too little to judge, but it seems promising.
Many people have commented about the screen brightness, but I’ve had no issues whatsoever either using it indoors or outdoors with the brightness set at low. It is dimmer than other mineral crystal displays, but that is a sapphire thing, and it is present in any sapphire crystal display in any watch. That aside, when I’m doing MTB and considering my handlebar is wide sometimes I don’t even need to flick the wrist, sometimes I can get the HR by just glancing at it. In the gym I’ve noticed under the right lighting conditions the screen is not visible from an angle, but just moving your wrist a little makes it readable again and so far I don’t find it annoying as I prefer that and having peace of mind with my screen not breaking easily or scratching at all, as I had to replace the screen protector in my previous watch every few months.
I train between 8 and 12 hours a week in average, recording no GPS activities from Monday to Friday mainly being 45 minutes cardio sessions 5 times a week and three strength training sessions between 1 and 1.5 hours each and a long MTB ride on weekends for about 8 hours. With that usage I use to get between 5 and 6 days of battery life. It is not the most everlasting battery watch, but barely charging it once a week is good enough for me.
When it comes to the touch screen, it surely is a nice to have feature, but it is not, by any stretch of the imagination, the best touch screen experience in any watch, let alone in any sports watch. The touch screen is disabled while doing sports, something I don’t really mind. When it comes to everyday use, there is no back button gesture, which means you will have to rely on the physical button to do that, and that may be a small inconvenience to some. When you start interacting with the touch screen, there is a delay on the initial touch to the screen, which is slower to respond, and after the first interaction the consecutive interactions have a decent response time – for a sports watch – once you learn you need to tap and hold the screen for a fraction of a second with your first gesture and then proceed as normal, the touch is very usable, however, I can see that simple action can become very annoying for some people, and forgetting about it surely may turn the ‘annoying’ into a ‘frustrating’ experience. You get used to it after using it for a while; that being said, it should the watch the one to accommodate to the user needs, not the other way around.
Nowadays for the original price, I think it’s too expensive since the technology has advanced quite a bit, and it is missing features that have become normal in the industry, however, if you can get it under $450 I think even nowadays it is a good deal, I got mine for $430, but I’ve seen it even cheaper during some deals even here at Amazon. It is a good watch, and I am hoping to keep using it for the years to come.
I have had all the major sport smart watches and this by far my favorite. It looks great, is very durable and the Polar mobile app is excellent. It is also just as comfortable to wear as how great it looks. It is difficult to find a sport watch that checks all of these boxes. Is also very affordable compared to comparable fitness watches. The watch and application accurately and simply track all your activities, sleep and get timely notifications from your watch. The copper watch color and brown band are unique. The copper color is not to flashy, but cool enough to stand out from boring watch colors. I use it daily to log my walk and runs. I only take it off to give me wrist some breathing room every day or two and to charge. I will be long-time Polar customer because their products are only getting better and better.
Excellent produit. Je m’entrane rgulirement en salle et pratiques diffrents sports. Avec l’application Polar Flow, j’ai la possibilit de slectionner les diffrentes activits et suivre la progression. Les fonctions proposes sont intressantes, cratives et utiles.
La boussole notamment qui est compatible avec Alltrails et Komoot est trs pratique pour les randonnes pdestres, vlo de montagne et vlo de route.
La montre est trs rsistante, notamment la vitre qui est rellement military grade”.
La fonction “Serene” est intressante pour planifier des moments de relaxation.
Finalement, la prise pour le pouls est assez prcise pour m’indiquer mon niveau d’effort en cours.
Seul bmol, dure d’autonomie de la pile. Si vous sollicitez rgulirement les diffrentes fonctions pour vos activits, vous devrez vous attendre recharger la pile aux 3-4 jours. Ceci dit, le temps de chargement est assez court (environ 30 minutes pour une pile presque compltement plat).
Je rachterais ce produit sans hsiter.
Gefallen hat mir die Robustheit,der Tragekomfort sowie das Dispaly. Sind keine Funktionen wie pay oder hnliches vorhanden, aber da soll ja auch eine reine Sportuhr sein. Die Verbindugn mit dem Brustgurt ist manchmal schwierg ber Bluetooth, auerdem geht der Akku relativ schneller leer als am Anfang des Kaufs (ca. 8 Monate her). Deswegen nur die 4 Sterne.
Die Uhr sieht nicht nur sehr stylish aus, sie berzeugt mich jeden Tag erneut mit ihren umfangreichen Messdaten und Angaben. Verbessert wurde auch das Sync-Verhalten, hier hatte die Vantage M2 fter einmal das Problem, dass die Verbindung zum Handy und der App erst nach einigen erneuten Versuchen aufgebaut wurde. Die Grit X Pro hingegen verbindet sich extrem zuverlssig.
Viele beschweren sich ja, dass das Display nicht hell genug sei. Hierber kann man streiten, ich finde die Display-Technik von Polar ziemlich gelungen und die Anzeige ist wirklich auch in allen Lichtsituationen hervorragend zu lesen (insbesondere auch, wenn es sehr hell ist. Viele bersehen hierbei, dass “by Design” es sich nicht um OLED-Display wie in anderen Smartwatches handelt. Vielmehr funktioniert das ganze so, dass die Hintergrundbeleuchtung nur in sehr dunklen Umgebungen sich einschaltet (die Grit X Pro hat hierbei zwei Modi, ein “gedimmtes” Backlight beim Drehen der Uhr am Arm, ausreichend in den meisten dunkleren Umgebungen, sowie ein helleres Backlight auf Knopfdruck). Der Vorteil dieser Technik bemerkt man sptestens an der Akkulaufzeit, hier saugen gewhnlichere OLED-Varianten definitiv schneller den Akku leer.
Die Sensorik finde ich berragend, sowohl was die Vital-Funktionen betrifft, aber die Magnetometer fr Kompass sowie GPS (plus noch Galileo & Glonass). Dass die Ortung ungenau sei, wie mache sagen, kann ich definitiv nicht besttigen.
Die Polar Flow App ist ein wenig “naja”, aber sie tut ihren Dienst. Die Integration jedoch mit Strava sowie vor allem Komoot ist jedoch absolut perfekt. Geplante Routen in Komoot erscheinen fehlerfrei in der Flow-App, hier kann nun ausgewhlt werden, welche geplante Route man auf die Uhr bertragen mchte. Sobald synchronisiert, kann es auch ohne das Handy los gehen. Super praktisch auch die Back to Start Funktion, die auch jederzeit ohne vorherige Planung einer Route gut und zuverlssig klappt.
Die Kalibrierung des Kompass / Hhenmessers ist ein wenig umstndlich, man wird jedoch ganz gut von der Uhr durch den Prozess gefhrt. Am besten sollte man sich dar auf ein freies Terrain stellen, so dass die Uhr so viele Satelliten wie mglich gleichzeitig erfassen kann. Auch sollte man bei der Kalibrierung nicht unbedingt in der nhe von Hochspannungsleitungen stehen, dies strt natrlich ganz klar die Magnetometer.
Insgesamt: klare Kaufempfehlung fr alle, die Outdoor sehr aktiv sind!
Perfect bought as a present for my husband he loves it tracks and records times spot on to the last second would recommend very highly.
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!!
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 touchscree
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.
Es un reloj ms grandote que el Coros, mucho ms slido, tanto en el cristal de zafiro como en la caja, tambin pesa el doble, unos 63 gr. frente a los 31 gr. del Coros, pero no es molesto de llevar, uso la correa de tamao pequeo y no lo noto incmodo. La visibilidad podra ser un poco mejor, es cierto, aunque se ve bien cuando lo pones con una iluminacin lateral, hay determinados momentos que no se acaba de ver bien si no es con la luz (automtica, eso s), de todas formas, creo que es un punto a mejorar por Polar.
Las mtricas que te saca son muy completas en todo tipo de deporte, yo corro y camino y el anlisis que hace de las carreras es muy completo y lo que ms me gusta es el anlisis que muestra en la app, que te explica todo muy bien para que se entienda por cualquiera. En el anlisis de resultados creo que supera ampliamente a Coros, la verdad. La sincronizacin del reloj con la app es inmediata cuando terminas el ejercicio.
En cuanto al GPS, igual de rpido y preciso que en Coros, en unos 20 segundos ests localizado, muy bien.
La informacin durante el ejercicio es personalizable desde la app, muy bien tambin, todo a tu gusto.
No se pueden cargar mapas completos como en los Garmin y otros relojes avanzados, pero puedes cargar rutas de Komoot y te sale una flecha para guiarte por dnde tienes que ir, te marca la altura que llevas, las pendientes y puedes indicarle volver al punto de partida y te da instrucciones para regresar, bueno, est bien.
El reloj en s me parece muy bonito y la correa de silicona es muy cmoda de poner y quitar y ajusta muy bien. La pantalla es tctil, pero tambin tiene margen de mejora, la sensibilidad se atasca un poco y no responde como en otros smartwatch menos deportivos, La ventaja de este es que con los 5 botones puedes hacer todo y la verdad es que ahora mismo me resulta muy cmodo y fiable. Me parecera mentira hace unos meses, pero se puede vivir sin una pantalla tctil.
Las notificaciones, puedes elegir qu quieres recibir y qu no, pero no puedes responder, bueno, no es algo imprescindible desde mi punto de vista. Por cierto, una cosa muy buena de este reloj (y tambin en Coros) es que al iniciar una actividad deportiva el reloj se pone en modo no molestar hasta que termina la actividad, a mi me encanta esa funcin, la verdad.
La batera es buena, no dura tanto como anuncian, pero bueno. En mi caso, uso deportes con gps unas dos horas y media al da y me dura cuatro das, se queda al 20-25% y lo pongo a cargar. La carga es rpida, en torno a una hora.
Bueno, el reloj es un poco caro, pero se pueden conseguir buenas ofertas, yo estoy muy contento con l, evidentemente es un reloj deportivo sobre otras cuestiones, as que si buscas un reloj fiable, bonito, preciso y con una buena app detrs, este es tu modelo.
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
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).
Update nach drei Tagen Pause (wo mein rger etwas abgeklungen ist). Ich habe mich entschieden nicht so einfach aufzugeben, und mit der 24/7-Handy-Jugend aufzunehmen. Ich habe die 200 Seiten Gebrauchsanleitung heruntergeladen und durchgeackert. Dadurch wurde ich tatschlich etwas schlauer. Irgendwo ganz-ganz am Ende (Seite 189, oh mein Gott, warum so weit hinten, lieber Polar!!) habe ich dann den entscheidenden Hinweis ber das “Polar Flow Web Service” gefunden. Hier erfahren wir, dass die sogenannten “Sport Profile” damit angeordnet und editiert werden knnen. Somit gesehen ein Benutzer kann die selbst betriebenen Sport-Profile hier einstellen. Fr mich etwa: Montainbiken, Wandern, Krafttraining und Indoor-Cycling. Alle andern Profile knnen dann gnadenlos entfernt werden. Damit vereinfacht sich die Bedienung, da berflssige Profile verschwinden (versteht sich nach der Synchronisation). Das Problem mit dem “Polar Flow Web Service” besteht darin, dass die per default angezeigte Ansicht bringt das Tagebuch zur Sicht. Ein Greenhorn wie ich, hat dann wirklich keine Ahnung, dass hier ganz rechts oben, beim User, ein Drop-Down Men bietet sich an, welches auch die erwhnten Sport-Profile enthlt. Weitere Updates werde ich posten…
Update: ich verwende nun meinen Polar regelmig und je mehr ich davon wei, desto besser ist auch der Umgang damit. Ja, am Anfang habe ich in meiner Frust nur einen Stern gegeben, jetzt erhhe ich die Bewertung auf 4 Sterne. Wegen der nicht vorhandene Einstiegshilfe fr komplett Ahnungslose (wie ich es war), kann ich aber bei besten Willen nicht mehr als 4 Sterne vergeben.
Update nach etwa 3 Wochen Erfahrung. Das Ding gefllt mir immer besser. Eine reine nette Spielerei, Spinnerei. Derzeit bin ich etwas frustriert wegen des Barometers. Laut Anleitung von Polar, die Uhr kalibriert sich die Hhe zweimal automatisch via GPS. Ich habe bisher davon leider nichts mitbekommen. Die Uhr irrt sich diesbezglich aber gewaltig. Ich starte etwa vom Lackenhof am tscher, Hhe 830 m, Uhr kalibriert sich auf 170 Meter. Komplett daneben! Diese Genauigkeit ist aber nicht berauschend! Ist etwa meine Uhr fehlerhaft? Ich schreibe an Polar Support eine E-Mail. Ich hoffe, sie wird beantwortet. Ich melde mich diesbezglich wieder.
Update, mein letzter vielleicht. Polar-Support hat auf meine Anfrage geantwortet. Ja, sie besttigen, dass der Grit X einen bekannten Softwarefehler bezglich initialer Hhemessung hat Anbei in Wortlaut, Zitat “Unfortunately, there is a known current bug (software error) related to the altitude measurement of the Grit X, which, among other things, means that sometimes several meters difference have to be compensated during manual calibration. The fix isn’t available yet, I’m sorry. The Grit X measures correctly the altitude values of the training sessions when 1) the altitude was manually calibrated before training
2) or the watch was restarted before training.”
I’ve used the Grit X for 2 years and I generally happy with it.
The Grit X is more of a sports watch than a smart watch. I don’t need it to make payments or control my music. Getting message updates on my watch is annoying. I use it got walks, hikes and for martial arts training. Most watches don’t cater for the latter. You have 40 sport profiles to choose from, even for yoga and meditation. Compared to the competition, it’s neither the biggest or the heaviest.
The bad, I’d like to be able to run a stopwatch or timer whilst running a training session. You can’t with the Grit X. Also the app could be a bit more user friendly. When you set up daily routines, it sets the time to 6pm by default. It would be nice to be able to drag and copy. Instead of editing each day. Which is tedious. Hiking routes don’t always sync and when they do, it can be quite annoying. At this price range, it’s not the worst. After 2 years, some of the buttons are less responsive. But despite the wear and tear, it’s still doing OK. I’d most like upgrade to a Grit X Pro.
Muy buena calidad y diseo, adems las instrucciones son muy claras.
At first I wasn’t impressed with the screen but it does what’s supposed to do ..no messing around no daft YouTube etc ..its a watch for someone who takes there fitness seriously ..it’s not a watch for someone who wants there phone & tablet & laptop to look soooo cute together ffs lol
Cumpli con todas mis expectativas, excelente reloj, gran precisin, me cost un poco la primera sincronizacin pero deb bajar nuevamente la aplicacin de polar y funcion perfectamente.
Of all the Polar watches I have owned, the Grit X Pro ranks at the top for quality craftsmanship. The copper coloring is stunning in person, the bezel etching is beautiful, and the FTK band feels both luxurious and durable. The watch does have weight to it but is light enough that it doesn’t get tiresome. The sapphire lens really is the icing on the cake and provides a ton of confidence for the longevity of the watch, especially as I am someone who is rough on my wearable tech.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT FROM OTHER POLAR WATCHES
The Grit X Pro has all the features of the Vantage V2 but comes with a more robust casing, making it ideal for OCR training and racing, trail running, CrossFit style athletes, MTN biking, XC cycling, and cyclocross among others. When hiking the mapping integration with Kamoot has already come in handy and I’m convinced it’s all I need to explore the trails around me in confidence I won’t get lost. The compass widget is also a nice addition!
THE FLOW APP TOPS OFF THE EXPERIENCE
The Grit X Pro and the Flow app are all I need for my training, I train anywhere from 10 – 12 hours a week with a mix of cycling, kettlebells, sandbags, dumbell work, etc… and the Flow app grabs all the data, along with the Grit X Pro’s Cardio Load metrics, and gives me all the information I need to know when to push my training and when to ease off.
The Grit X Pro offers a rugged design in an elegant package, making it ideal for hardcore training and racing while being versatile enough to dress it up. I cannot recommend it enough to my friends and family and those looking to get into the Polar ecosystem. Level up your training and grab one!
It has a very robust feel without being overly heavy, and the glass is super strong Lord knows I’ve put it through its paces without scratching. Can’t recommend this watch enough!
Superb watch but doesn’t stay paired with my mobile..it seems to go off it as soon as i dont have my phone with me. Super annoying
Trs bon produit, juste un bmol sur l’autonomie de la batterie. Elle n’est pas conforme au 40h annonces. Sans doute cause d’un long stockage
J’utilise cette montre pour les randonnes. Elle correspond tout fait mes besoins. Je la recommande.
Very good watch, accuracy of GPS identical to the Polar Vantage M2, with very similar features, but with a more rugged build, as you’d expect for the additional cost.
Other than the build, I couldn’t justify paying more for this watch than the M2. That said, in my view the Garmin Forerunner 245 is a better watch for runners than either of the Polars.
Tolle zuverlssige und stabile Sportuhr. Kann Sie nur empfehlen. Und die Uhr sieht noch gut aus.
Watch is very rugged and is ideal for outdoor activities. It collects loads of data which I am still learning!
Top, prcise, de bonne qualit.
Juste l’cran tactile mauvais niveau ractivit, heureusement que l’on ne l’utilise que peu.
Wirklich eine tolle Uhr,wer viel Trail luft,dem kann ich’s nur empfehlen!
La nica pega es que es algo voluminoso en cuanto a gordura,,por lo dems todo genial
Wat een fijn horloge! Ik draag heb nu enkele maanden en gebruik hem intensief met sporten (Cross Fit). Daar registreert hij alles goed van. Samen met de Polar app kun je alles analyseren van je workout.
Als horloge en sieraad ook mooi en functioneel. Ik ben er blij mee en zou hem zeker aanraden.
Love this watch. The material doesn’t scratch, I have bashed it a few times and simply just wipe the debris of it. However don’t push your luck. Buy a screen protector is you are as clumsy as me. The functions are really good. Just wished they had an interval option for training. I just simply use other. I haven’t really explored all options but I like the fact it suggests exercises to do. I need to find out if I can adjust these exercises. It gives good details on sleep, motivates you to train as it would tells you if you are de training maintaining excelling etc. So much more. Battery life is decent think 3 days. 2 issues are when in training mode you can’t see the time and the watch light doesn’t always come up when you want to see your progress.
Seit mehr als 20 Jahren nutze ich POLAR Uhren. Die Grit X deckt genau meine Bedrfnisse ab. Ich bin kein Leistungssportler, mache dreimal wchentlich Walking oder Wandern. Ich kann meine Routen (Komoot) auf die Uhr laden und mich fhren lassen. Pulsanzeige/Aufzeichnung und Schlafberwachung sind meine wesentlichen Punkte, die ich mit der Uhr im Blick behalte. Die Uhr ist robust, was mir auch wichtig ist.
Sono contento con la polar Grit x.
Si tratta di un orologio per lo Sport e non di una SmartWatch. Tanti funzioni Sport, meno funzioni SmartWatch.
GPS esatto von connesione veloce.
Lunga durata della Batteria.
Grandezza e peso perfetto per un uomo.
Die Vorgngerin war eine Polar Ignite, die erste Polaruhr, die ich hbsch fand, weshalb ich sie sofort kaufte. Leider war der Akku schon nach gerade mal 2 Jahren (plus x…) recht kurzatmig geworden, was dann irgendwann anfngt zu nerven. Mir war klar, dass ich um eine neue Uhr nicht herumkomme, also diesmal nach genauer Recherche die Grit X. Ich htte eine etwas kleinere, schickere Polar vorgezogen, aber nur die greren, manchmal etwas klobig anmutenden Modelle, die eigentlich wohl eher fr Mnnerhandgelenke gedacht sind, versprechen lange Akkulaufzeiten, eine lngere Akkulebensdauer – aber auch nur die hochpreisigen Modelle wie die Grit X haben laut Polarseite einen Wechselakku. Das war fr mich mit kaufentscheidend, da ich unntigem Elektronikschrott nicht mehr haben mchte. Dass es wieder eine Polar werden wrde, war eh klar, da ich die Polar Flow App super finde, keine 100 Zifferbltter und auch keine WhatsApps sogar beim Laufen in der Natur brauche, dafr aber eine groe Auswahl an Sportprofilen schtze. Schlielich wollte ich bei der Uhr Standard-Armbnder auch von anderen Herstellern nutzen knnen, so dass z.B. die Vantage V2 (leider) ausschied.
Nach Lieferung war die Uhr schnell ausgepackt, das Armband gewechselt (das mitgelieferte gefiel mir von vornherein nicht), die Uhr mit dem Handy und der Flow App gekoppelt und synchronisiert, und siehe da: freundlicher Weise wurden sofort meine bisherigen Einstellungen inklusive der Sportprofile auf die Uhr bertragen. Das nenne ich mal praktisch!
Optisch macht die Uhr durchaus etwas her, sie sieht durch das Metallgehuse und die gute Verarbeitung sehr wertig aus und trgt sich angenehm. Durch die Mglichkeit, jedes beliebige Wechselarmband (22 mm) einsetzen zu knnen, bietet die Uhr vielseitige Designmglichkeiten an und kann sowohl schick als auch sportlich oder elegant daherkommen, wenn sie mit dem passenden Armband ausgestattet wird. Ich habe z.B. meist mehrere Silikonarmbnder in unterschiedlichen Farben parat, die ich je nach Laune, Anlass oder Kleidungsstil anpassen kann.
Nach jetzt rd. 6 Wochen 24/7 Nutzung kann ich sagen: Alles richtig gemacht, die Uhr hlt, was sie verspricht.
Ich bewege mich viel: pro Woche rd. 100 km Rad fahren, 1x pro Woche Nordic Walking, 2-3x pro Woche Zumba. Macht sie alles klaglos mit, misst wie von Polar gewohnt umfangreich und genau, und auch der Akku hlt wie von Polar versprochen lange durch, nmlich bei mir locker 4-5 Tage, selbst mit den ganzen Sporteinheiten kein Problem. Das Synchronisieren geht richtig flott, das dauerte bei der Polar Ignite deutlich lnger. Auch das Aufladen ist relativ schnell erledigt, obwohl der Akku ziemlich “fett” sein drfte.
Klar, 399 sind ein stolzer Preis, aber wenn ich den Preis mit dem anderer Uhren mit einem solchen oder sehr hnlichen Leistungsumfang vergleiche, msste ich meist sogar noch mehr Geld auf den Tisch legen.
Ich bin jedenfalls froh, dass ich sie mir kaufen konnte.
GPS super accurate, works great with komoot. HR sensor is accurate every time I’ve manually checked too. You can change the metrics easily and customise through the app. Which does take a little practice but neat feature.
I’ve found it easy to read and easily bright enough. Basically not taking it off except to charge. My OH has an iwatch and is very jealous!
I’ve knocked it against some fairly solid items whilst doing DIY too and not a scratch on the face.
2 minor criticisms:
A couple of exercises have not been tallied correctly on daily tracker, although it does register them in the activity section on the polar app. I suspect the app is buggy.
Amazon messed up the original shipping. Not an issue of the watch of course!
While the watch wasn’t too heavy, the strap was very uncomfortable – so only any use with HR turned off and used off wrist – which is OK for navigation.
However for a 400 watch the hardware, while accurate, was barely adequate for the money. I have watches less than half the cost with far more comprehensive capability, the biggest negative is total lack of automatic activity recognition – even the most basic Garmin bands can do that! I tried the watch mainly because it claimed to offer Google Fit syncing, sadly this only works for manually started activities nothing else (all-day Heartrate, weight, sleep and body parameters such as weight) are not.
In short Polar seem to be years behind the competition and very, very overpriced. The app is complicated and not intuitive, its awful!
It was quickly returned for refund.
I’ll be sticking with my Garmin 245!!
Habe viele Meinungen gelesen, bin aber positiv berrascht. Uhr ausgepackt, Synch gemacht, luft tadellos. Akku hlt 4-5 Tage. Anzeige vielleicht etwas dunkel, aber mit einem Knopfdruck geht es ein gutes Stck helle
(i contro sono inseriti alla fine della review)
Tempo test: 1 mese
L’orologio stato testato per i seguenti sport:
– escursione
-splitboard/ski alp
-corsa
-allenamento forza indoor
Aspetto: il design mi ha conquistato, semplice ed essenziale.
Funzionalit: i pulsanti sono un ottimo strumento per navigare attraverso i menu, le funzioni sono di facile memorizzazione. Il touch, parlando di uno sportwatch quasi superfluo, ma carino da utilizzare in condizioni di calma.
I menu sono essenziali, permettono una navigazione semplice ed efficace. I profili sport sono personalizzabili con l’app POLAR FLOW, investire del tempo ad esplorare l’ applicazione permette di settare le varie info visualizzate sul quadrante (durante l’attivit) e soprattutto una regolazione personalizzata delle ZONE CARDIO.
Menu – funzioni: ho trovato molto interessante la possibilit di poter inserire i remind integrazione (idrico e food).
Di mio grande interesse stata la possibilit di importare qualsiasi traccia GPX sul dispositivo. L’orologio NON cartografico, ma la comprensione della traccia sul quadrante chiara e di semplice consultazione. Qualsiasi persona con del buon senso pu saltare la prossima frase, se pretendete che faccia il lavoro di un GPS avete sbagliato strada.
Serene – Fitness Test – Frequenza Cardiaca: Polar fornisce una guida per imparare a respirare e rilassarvi (Serene), ho trovato questa funzione molto interessante, l’ho utilizzata si durante la giornata, sia prima di andare a dormire. Seguendo passo passo i consigli che d l’orologio possibile rilassarsi e affrontare quegli stati di ansia generalizzata che possono palesarsi durante la giornata. Al termine di ogni sessione Serene fornisce un piccolo report.
Fitness Test: per gli amanti delle tabelle e dei cluster, la funzione Fitness Test permette di valutare il vostro grado di allenamento, STIMANDO il massimo consumo di ossigeno (VO2 max).
Frequenza Cardiaca: dopo aver inserito i vostri dati, l’orologio calcoler in automatico la vostra Frequenza Cardiaca Massima e di conseguenza suddivider le zone di FC. ATTENZIONE, anche questa una stima, se volete una suddivisione delle zone FC “cucita a misura” per voi, vi consiglio di rivolgervi a degli specialisti e fare un test da sforzo massimale.
Pro: una delle cose che ho apprezzato di pi stato il “ritorno a casa”…”return home” se volete fare gli ammmerigani. Durante la tracciatura GPS della vostra uscita, l’orologio permette di visualizzare sempre il punto di partenza (da dove avete iniziato a tracciare). Questa cosa non serve a nulla se avete un po’di sale in zucca, ma diventa interessante in caso di uscita in zone che non conoscete o di scarsa visibilit e maltempo.
Contro: (premessa il mio polso molto asciutto) il sensore a polso davvero molto comodo ma pecca di una decina di battiti al minuto (in eccesso). Se avete necessit di allenarvi correttamente con le zone di Frequenza Cardiaca, consiglio l’acquisto di una fascia cardio, io personalmente ho una Polar H10, che utilizzo prevalentemente per le uscite di corsa e per gli esercizi di forza indoor (molto comodo impostare recuperi e intensit del lavoro).
In conclusione, lo ricomprerei al volo.
Pros:
Simplicity: its a very easy to navigate watch, with no added extras. Its basically a sports watched stripped back from all the smart watch options. It simply is just a tracking sports watch with no fancy bells or whistles, this is definitely a pro for me as I dont need all of the extra stuff another watch may give you.
Reliability: Not to Jinx it, but so far, I have seen the reliability in this watch. It has given me good readings not only on GPS distances but also reliable / believable heart rates. Occasionally it reads a bit high, as when I am resting I have seen it in the 90s, but maybe I am just unfit.
The sleep tracking also seems pretty reliable and gives plenty of information and breakdowns on your sleep cycles and patterns, also how many times you were woken in your sleep.
Rugged styling: This is the Grit X which is targeted towards the outdoor sports world. It is waterproof, you can run in the rain with it. It will survive being knocked around a bit.
App: The polar flow app is very VERY detailed and breaks down multiple readings and stats about your day. I find it easy to understand but potentially a bit overwhelming as there is a lot of information on there.
Cons:
HR occasionally showing high: Like I said before, Maybe I am just unfit.
Not amazingly comfortable for all day use: The watch can make your wrist itchy, but its an easy fix, take the watch off for a while, wipe the back of it, sorted.
Manually tell it you are awake: One thing that some people may find annoying regarding sleep tracking, when you are awake, it does not automatically recognise you are awake, and asks you to confirm this. It is literally just one click on the red ringed button to tell it you are awake, so not to much of an issue.
Overall: This is a solid watch for any sports enthusiast. It’s definitely not on the level of the Garmin Fenix but isn’t trying to be, do don’t be disappointed. If you want a reliable watch to keep on your wrist day in and day out which will track all of your stats reliably and show it in an easy to break down formula, then this is the watch for you. If you arent 100% sure, then shop around a bit. Coming from me, this is a solid reliable choice not to be easily dismissed.
Battery life is superb. I charge maybe once every week to ten days, and average 40-50km running every week.
The display is good and very clearly visible in daylight. Response time to a raised wrist in starting the display can be a bit slow.
Build quality is good. It feels solid. The strap is lovely and has plenty of adjustment. Starting and stopping needs a good shove on the buttons meaning accidentally pressing is a thing of the past. But it can make an accurate start/finish a little bit tricky.
I like the idea of the ascent/descent hill split feature although in use it’s a bit patchy and inconsistent.
Menus and screens easy to navigate with positive feedback from the buttons, and a useful hybrid touchscreen. Some data a bit hard to read on the go as needs to be scrolled up and down.
The app is great. Huge amounts of info. Easy and fast to sync with phone compared to Garmin. Very fast transfer to Strava. No need to pay Strava upgrade costs as you get all the info you could need with the Polar app.
The instructions are a bit hit and miss and if you’re used to Garmin the watch takes a bit of getting used to. Also, if you’re looking for more of a smartwatch, give this a miss. It’s a focused sport watch.
Aside from a few niggles, this is a decent product and worth a look even if you’re a Garmin-phile.
je modifie mon premier avis. J’ai pu installer le widget mto sur ma montre l’aide d’un smartphone autre que le mien (mon smartphone n’est pas compatible). Je prcise que la fonction mto, une fois installe, ne dpend pas d’avoir sur soi ou proximit d’un smartphone. Cette fonction est installe une fois pour toute. Sinon, dans l’ensemble, les fonctionnalits sont vraiment diffrentes de Garmin, complmentaires. Je trouve que je capte mieux les signaux GPS que ma Garmin 245. La seule chose rdibitoire, c’est que la Polar Grix n’est pas idale pour les poignets fminins, elle est trs volumineuse car beaucoup de capteurs au dos, pas vident de bien la serre
Die Polar x Grit ist grer als mein Vorgngermodell und ein bisschen dicker, nichts desto trotz nicht strend.
Ich verwende sie hauptschlich frs Laufen und fr Krafttraining, die Pulsmessung ist eigentlich fr das Handgelenk sehr gut.
Schnelle Lieferung aus UK
Took a little while to break in the watch but now I love it great battery life and the information from the watch about sleep,recovery, training load is nearly spot on aldo I still use my H10 when running for better accuracy.
I found this watch very good for running, specially out in the countryside. From my point of view, it is not a watch for mountaineers but for trail runners. The heart rate sensor is very accurate, and the gps perfect. Design looks gorgeous and it is very light.
Yes, I do like it. However there are some functionalities as Recovery Pro, which it should be included and currently on other devices from the same brand
Premetto che ho acquistato il Grit X prevalentemente per il trail, le attivit in montagna e la corsa preferendo Polar a Garmin in primis per una questione economica e secondo per la fidelizzazione al brand.
Sono soddisfatto dell’acquisto perch con questo strumento Polar ha risolto i problemi che aveva rispetto al M200 precedente (batteria, velocit di acquisizione del GPS, precisione di lettura FC ecc); purtroppo ho rilevato dei difetti che tutto sommato spero siano migliorabili magari con un nuovo aggiornamento software ovvero:
– difficolt di sincronizzazione dei tracciati KOMOOT – funzionano bene solamente se tu fai un abbonamento Premium con quest’ultimo……peccato perch con tutti i tracciati gi presenti in Flow si poteva fare un link pi costruttivo con Strava.
– Funzione Backtostart – questa funzione molto interessante non prevede il ritorno da “traccia” ma solamente da “Azimuth”…il che inutile se non pericoloso, quando su ghiacciaio si deve ritornare al punto di partenza per l’arrivo improvviso della nebbia; la stessa cosa durante le uscite di scialpinismo.
– Notifiche del cellulare – purtroppo tutte le notifiche sono disattivate durante gli allenamenti….praticamente l’unico momento in cui vorrei averle non posso selezionarle!!
– Monitor poco luminoso – capisco che questo il fattore principale della durata eccezionale della batteria ma in effetti in certi contesti di sottobosco chiari/scuri per me, che porto gli occhiali, risulta un p difficoltoso leggere e correre contemporaneamente.
Bene per ora tutto.
Spero sinceramente che Polar (la cui assistenza al cliente eccezionale) possa porre rimedio ad almeno i primi tre punti di questa recensione. Mi riprometto di fare un’altra recensione allo scadere dei sei mesi di prova.
____________________________________________________________________________
Come promesso faccio questo aggiornamento scaduti i sei mesi di utilizzo veramente intenso dell’orologio.
Preciso che ho messo una stellina in pi perch effettivamente sono riuscito a migliorare il mio utilizzo delle funzioni e quindi sono molto pi soddisfatto di mesi addietro.
– Sincronizzazione tracciati KOMOOT — sfruttando una offerta ho acquistato le carte del mondo quindi ora riesco a programmare i miei tour in maniera molto pi facile e, una volta sincronizzato l’orologio, li trovi gi inseriti tra i preferiti. Inoltre si riesce facilmente a caricare anche altre traccie o percorsi che trovi online. Il risultato della navigazione stupendo e molto preciso facilmente consultabile anche durante corse tecniche; ti permette di scoprire percorsi che non sapevi esistessero neppure nelle tue zone abituali.
– Funzione Fuelwise — funzione simpatica che ti ricorda quando bere o mangiare, potrebbe apparire superflua ma in effetti quando corri per ore cercando la traccia e stando molto attento a dove metti i piedi pu succedere di ritardare l’idratazione. Nel complesso mi piace.
– Monitor poco luminoso — alla scarsa luminosit del monitor alla fine uno ci si abitua; in certi contesti rimane un po’ difficile da leggere ma tutto sommato nulla di invalidante.
– Fitspark — simpatica funzione che suggerisce giornalmente che tipo di allenamento andare a fare; utile per integrare la tua tabella settimanale; sarebbe bello ci fosse una maggior variet di esercizi ma proprio per andare a spaccare il capello in quattro,
– Funzione Back to start — ecco; questa resta l’unica vera pecca di questo orologio! L’unico motivo per cui non metto 5 stelle piene. Ho chiesto a Polar pi volte di migliorare il rientro aggiungendo anche l’opzione di ritornare seguendo la traccia di andata e non solo la direzione da azimuth. Purtroppo ad oggi queste mie richieste non sono state esaudite. Peccato perch, proprio come profetizzato sei mesi, fa la scorsa settimana siamo dovuti rientrare velocemente alla macchina, durante una gita di scialpinismo, a causa dell’alzarsi improvviso di una fitta nebbia. Fortuna che il mio compagno di gita avesse un Garmin cos abbiamo utilizzato la sua funzione di rientro da traccia, questo perch in zona c’erano diversi salti rocciosi e non si vedeva effettivamente nulla. Una stupenda occasione persa per testare il GritX, veramente un gran peccato.
il top top top
Love this watch. It by far the best Polar watch I have had. The Heart Rate tracks in line with my M430 and the additional features all add to my current weekly activity really well (160k bike rides (Road and Mountain), walks and a weekly run – which I hope to build on). In particular the watch weight really makes a difference – I have never been able to keep a watch on through the night and therefore not ever tracked sleep. I hardly know I have the Grit on it is that light and comfortable.
The charge is good – so far I have had three days of around 12 GPS tracking activities (around 10 hrs) and it is at 50%.
I would highly recommend and really pleased I kept the faith and carried on using what is such a responsive, easy to use, robust and stylish brand. I would also like to say that I had an issue setting up the weather tracker and through using the website via messenger the tech support took 10 minutes to guide me through the process. Very impressive.
Update 16/03/21
My opinion on this watch as I experience it more has got even better. I started to use the navigation features about 6 months ago by downloading routes from Komoot and using the watch like a sat-nav in the Peak District UK and I have had some of the best mountain bike rides ever, on my own, in the middle of nowhere without getting lost once. It really does open up a lot of opportunities when you use the product in this way.
I do strength training 3 times per week and I do use a chest strap even though it not very cardio-heavy work, the difference between cardio load calculations with and without the chest strap sensor are massive (confirming that LED heart rate sensors are not reliably accurate and that if you want accuracy then a chest strap is essential).
The sleep measurement and metrics are cool, I don’t go into detail that much but it’s cool to see how ‘recharged’ you are and this does concur with how you’re feeling. Interesting to see how much even a small amount of alcohol impacts your autonomous nervous system. Has helped me to appreciate how much a couple of good (and teetotal) nights sleep impacts on my keenness to train and train hard.
A few things have happened in the last 18 months, my dog died, I got an incredible enduro mountain bike, I got a Grit X to replace my V800 and of course COVID so all 4 things have impacted on my schedule in a big way but when I look at my training diary since 2016 I have done more training sessions in the last year than I have in the previous 5 years and I do put some of that down to the greatness of the Grit X.
