Lots of useful health insights, Huge variety of sports profiles, Rugged, Fleshed out health tracking, Incredible battery life, Training recommendations
Extremely limited smartwatch features, Interface can be unintuitive, No automatic activity detection, Sleep detection can be hit or miss, Somewhat large and potentially uncomfortable, Not as accurate as some of the competition, A little pricey

Abstract: Back by popular demand, DesFit has just published our sprawling 2020 Sportswatch Year in Review video, where we iterate through nearly 20 different watches from the beginning of the year to the end – discussing the highs and the lows. Last year's video ga...
Abstract: The first impression is mixed: While the bezel, lugs and the five buttons made of forged stainless steel express value, the silicon strap with woven pattern looks very simple despite the stainless steel buckle and does not do justice to the top sports wat...
Great screen visibility, Accurate GPS, heart rate, and altitude, Incredible amount of data collection, High-quality case and band, Looks nicer than most "sport" watches
Rather thick and bulky, Terrible touch screen response, App is focused on hardcore users, Basic software with little customizability, Overkill for all but intense fitness users

It's clear that Polar has seen the success of the outdoor/hiking/ultra focused market from their competitors in recent years, and the Grit X aims to replicate that success on their own product line. Some of the changes are cosmetic or external in nature...

Multiple functions that help you navigate training, recovery and relaxation,Durable construction,Trail-specific features,
Hefty price tag, especially if you go for a non-standard strap, Not the most comfortable watch to wear during the night,
There are many features and training tools to love on the Polar Grit X, especially the extra insights that trail and mountain athletes are going to benefit from, such as Hill Splitter, FuelWise and WeatherWatch. Weighing 64g, it's lighter and smaller than...
Light and comfortable to wear, Superb sleep tracking, Easy to use
Routing is basic, Touchscreen is sluggish, Unreliable sync
It's these small annoyances – and the rather basic nature of the new routing feature – that makes it difficult to recommend the Polar Grit X over its main rivals.That's not to say you should dismiss the Polar Grit X out of hand. It's a superbly easy to us...

Understated yet sturdy design, Responsive training suggestions, In-depth recovery insights, Polar Flow app is one of the best
Five-day battery life is average, Hill Splitter mode is unreliable, No offline maps when navigating, No Spotify support
Can the Polar Grit X compete with the Garmin Fenix 6? In a straight fight, it's not the winner – but it doesn't need to be. Significantly less expensive yet equipped with a range of skills to suit those just starting to stride off the beaten track, it occ...
Excellent fuelling recommendations, Best sleep and recovery insights going, Recovery-based workout recommendations
No maps for navigation, Heart rate lags and surges, Limited every day battery life
The Polar Grit X is a well-built, sharp looking watch that offers a very compelling package of tools, tracking and insights for the price. It will inevitably be compared to the Garmin Fenix 6 though it lacks the range and depth of outdoors skills you fin...
Big battery drain between workouts, Laggy and surging heart rate
The Polar Grit X offers a lot. It's a watch with a serious package of multisport-tracking and recovery features in a pleasingly simple, lightweight design and for a very, very competitive price tag. And if you're a runner who's making the move from marath...
