Polar Grit X

Brutality itself

Watches from the Finnish company Polar are a successful tandem of a rugged device for use in harsh environments and a gadget with smart functions. The manufacturer is positioning them as a device for outdoor sports, in other words, they will become a reliable companion for lovers of uncharted trails and hard trials, and not a neatly trimmed stadium lawn. The model is more suitable for men, as the female half is unlikely to appreciate the brutal design and massiveness. All this for the sake of durability: the watch has passed several tests for compliance with the military standard MIL-STD-810G and can withstand shocks, exposure to extreme temperatures, drops and humidity, and full water protection allows you to swim and bathe without worrying about the safety of the gadget. At the same time, it weighs a little - 64 g, is comfortable and almost not felt on the wrist. At the same time, there are two sizes of the bracelet to choose from depending on the circumference of the hand, and compatibility with standard bracelets with a 22 mm quick-release fastener is also claimed.

Both hiking and training

Polar Grit X is always ready to conquer new heights and find a way out of difficult situations with you. The equipment includes a compass, a barometer, a GPS module that will help you prepare for the vagaries of nature, make routes, study the area and return to the starting point. In addition, the watch supports more than 130 sports modes and analyzes how effective your workouts were. To do this, the system provides detailed information about the passage of ascents and descents, the intensity of running training, determines the energy intake from fats, proteins and carbohydrates and gives motivating feedback. At the same time, the device monitors various health indicators: maximum oxygen consumption during running, the number of calories burned, data on heart function, phases and quality of sleep. And there is nothing to say about the accuracy of the heart rate monitor - Polar is a pioneer in the development of wireless heart rate monitors for professional athletes. Moreover, it uses a more advanced measurement using a combination of Precision Prime sensors.

Battery life rests on the shoulders of a 346 mAh battery, one charge of which will last up to 7 days with continuous heart rate tracking or 40 hours of training using GPS. Given the functionality and the presence of a 1.2-inch touch screen, which duplicates incoming notifications from the phone, this is a pretty decent indicator.
