That changes with the Grit X2 Pro.
Crucially, the software that wraps this all up has also improved.
Its also available from watch-specific outlets such as First Class Watches.
Also in this company is theApple WatchUltra 2.
Its slightly thicker (13.4mm compared to 13mm) and heavier (57g up from 47g), too.
The Grist X2 Pro definitely has the stature and feel of a watch such as the Garmin Epix Pro.
Another promised advancement concerns the change in the sensor technology Polar includes in the Grit X2 Pro.
Polars new Elixir sensor setup is designed to sit closer and more comfortably on your wrist.
Having a splash of colour on-screen also makes using those features more pleasing.
Is it the best mapping and navigation support available on an outdoor watch?
Is it a huge step in the right direction for Polar?
Sleep tracking is a standout feature for Polars watches, and that doesnt change with the Grit X2 Pro.
Thankfully, Polar has addressed some issues regarding how smooth its software runs on its watches.
Polar quotes up to 10 days in smartwatch mode and 43 hours of GPS battery life.
Those are the same numbers attached to the Vantage V3.
