 Overall I like this new update with the GridX Pro especially with the new routing and navigation features and the sapphire glass lens although I would have maybe liked to see a larger display ditching some of the bezel that surrounds it as well as some improvements to the heart rate sensor but for the outdoor adventure crowd I think this is going to be a pretty interesting option. Anyhow if you find the information in this video useful make sure to hit that like button down below and also subscribe to the channel because I've got a ton of videos lined up that will be dropping soon that I think you're going to want to check out. In the meantime thanks so much for watching and we will see you in the next video.

 So the GridX Pro comes in at $500 and then the GridX Pro Titan comes in at $600. The original GridX is $430 so for $70 more you get a sapphire glass lens and for me that's actually worth it but for $500 for the feature set that's maybe a little bit harder to sell but for durability I do think that this is a pretty good option.

 How's it going folks, I'm Des with Desvid and it's been a couple of years since Polar launched their original Grit X sports watch which took a lot of the technology that was found on their Vantage series line of multi-sport watches and put it into a lot more rugged case that was clearly aimed at the outdoor adventure crowd. And today Polar's launching the Grit X Pro which has all the features found on the original Grit X as well as the features found on the Vantage V2 but also add some new routing and navigation features that are definitely going to be useful for those of you adventuring outdoors. So we're just going to go ahead and get straight into this review. So for the hardware they've updated the look and feel a bit with some new accents around the stainless steel bezel which helped differentiate it from the original and they've also added what I think is a very needed feature when it comes to a watch that's intended for all those rough outdoor activities and that's a sapphire glass lens which I'm particularly happy to see and this is also supposed to have military grade durability

 So we're just going to go ahead and get straight into this review.

The Grit X Pro comes in three different color options and this is the black DLC version that I have in front of me today and there's also a Grit X Pro Titan which costs a hundred dollars more which uses titanium in the construction to make it 12% lighter and the titanium version also comes with a leather wristband in addition to this flora elastomer I think what they call an FKM wristband which is basically like a rubbery silicon like wristband. It's a good wristband

Polar Grit X Pro Review // New Navigation, Elevation, and Routing Features + Sapphire Glass!

 Wrist band is comfortable most of the time (I have small wrists). Battery life is phenomenal, wore it for several days including 5 hours of running and still had charge to spare. Pairing with phone is very simple, the phone app is also pretty good. UI is simple and easy to use and read while running

Negatives: Great piece of equipment, don't think $480 USD is a fair price given you can buy a high end phone for that much. Why on earth does a wearable with the word 'grit' in the name not come with an included screen protector? Also no built in maps is kinda cheapskate at this price level, common polar. Adventure and 'no maps' just doesn't make sense. Also why does it have a touch screen? Seems like a waste of money when they spent so much time and effort perfecting their button interface

  Positives: Mine worked perfectly out of the box, no sensor wonkeyness, never lost GPS signal, active pacing was spot on (what pace your currently at). Looks good. Wrist band is comfortable most of the time (I have small wrists). Battery life is phenomenal, wore it for several days including 5 hours of running and still had charge to spare

Great running watch

 Ouch. Even my 3 year old M430 with a warn out battery gets over a week. I would buy it again, but the short battery life is a bit concerning.  I live in a hilly region

 I would buy it again, but the short battery life is a bit concerning.  I live in a hilly region. The barometric altimeter and improved GPS accuracy (relative to my previous polar device) are extremely useful.  3 stars strictly for battery life concerns

 The barometric altimeter and improved GPS accuracy (relative to my previous polar device) are extremely useful.  3 stars strictly for battery life concerns. There are other minor annoyances, but they are probably due to me adjusting to new tech after having developed a fondness and familiarity with my old Polar device. Luckily, the buttonology is very similar

 This product lives up to most of the hype. I would purchase it again without a second thought.  The only thing that concerns me is the battery life. It advertises ultra-long life

  The only thing that concerns me is the battery life. It advertises ultra-long life..

5 days from Fully charged to 'Battery Low Charge Me'

 And they're all doing a pretty good job here. They're all within just a couple of meters of each other, which is within the margin of error for an altimeter. All right, so the Polar Grit X is actually shaping up to be a pretty solid option for a lot of trail or ultra runners out there. But how much does it cost? The Polar Grit X is going to retail for $429 a lunch, and I think that's a pretty competitive price given what this thing's packing

 Oh boy, I'm pretty excited about this one. This is the latest and greatest GPS smartwatch from Polar. This is the Grit X. Hey everybody, welcome back

 This could be a game changer in the trail running community and it could be just what Polar needed to pull away some customers from that Garmin, Coro, Suunto ecosystem. Full disclosure, Polar did send me this Grit X out for review. However, this is not a sponsored video and I'm allowed to give you my full unbiased opinion. That said, this is not a full in-depth review

 All right, so the Polar Grit X is actually shaping up to be a pretty solid option for a lot of trail or ultra runners out there. But how much does it cost? The Polar Grit X is going to retail for $429 a lunch, and I think that's a pretty competitive price given what this thing's packing. All right, so let's wrap this up. The Polar Grit X is a really exciting new device from a company that's been making GPS watches for a while now

Polar Grit X Initial Review and First Run - Designed for Trail Runners!

 First up, if you haven't subscribed to The Running Channel, please do and tap the bell icon so you get notified when we upload new videos all about running, which we do every week. Also, it's important to note that we've been sent one of these Polar Grit X watches to test out and to show you. We haven't been paid by the manufacturers to do this review, and it is completely impartial. All thoughts are my own

 But in general, it clocked onto the GPS signal really quickly and the accuracy was within 0.01 mile of the Garmin that I was using on the same runs. So a lot of you wanted to know about the battery life for the Polar Grit X, of course, because there is nothing more frustrating than wanting to go out for a run and realizing you forgot to charge your watch. So straight out of the box for me, I didn't have to charge the Polar Grit X from a hundred percent until five days worth of use

 Nor did I test it around any big buildings in built up cities, because again, just the logistics of being able to do that right now don't work. So that's something to test for future. But in general, it clocked onto the GPS signal really quickly and the accuracy was within 0.01 mile of the Garmin that I was using on the same runs

 So it's a nice white strap, this one. Also in the box, of course, we've got the charging cable, and then hidden at the back, and importantly for me, I'm going to have to do a little bit of reading, I think. We have got the instructions and the get start guide. So I am going to take the watch out on the run and report back

FIRST LOOK! Testing The BRAND NEW Polar Grit X | New Outdoor GPS Smartwatch To Rival Garmin?

 The watch weighs 64 grams, which is pretty light for the size of the watch. The diameter measures 47 millimeters across and the depth is 13 millimeters. So not too bulky. I didn't have a problem wearing this and I have very small wrist

 So if your goal is weight loss, it'll break it down for you and show you how you performed, what zones you performed in and how you're progressing. Another thing I loved about this watch was the touchscreen. From home, you can swipe through several different screens and get a view of say your daily activities, your heart rate, the weather, which is really cool. You can, it gives you a hourly report of the weather

 Hi, this is Robby with Believe in the Run, and this is the Polar Grit X Multisport GPS watch. So this is the newest GPS watch from Polar. In the past, we've reviewed multiple Polar watches from the Polar M430 to the Polar Vantage V Titanium to the Polar Vantage M. Honestly, I liked all those watches

 So I was kind of excited to see what Polar did with the Grit X, what's different from their other watches. So let's get into it. The Polar Grit X is a military grade, kind of more rugged, durable watch that's meant for the trail running outdoor adventuring crowd. So a little bit different than you're going to find from some of Polar's other offerings, which were more directed towards, say, triathletes or just runners in general

Polar Grit X Multisport GPS Watch Video Review

 I'll go ahead and leave a link to something that I found in the description below in this video. And Polar says that this watch weighs 64 grams, I measured it at 66 grams. So a touch heavy, but doesn't feel too bad on my wrist personally. The watch is 47 millimeters in width, and somewhere between 13 and 15 millimeters kind of sitting up off your wrist, depending on where you measure it, whether you measure it from that optical heart rate monitor, which you're actually gonna wanna wear pretty tight on your wrist

 I'd also love to see them start to allow smartphone notifications during activities. I mean, I'll just say, some of us blow off work to go out and do their training and we kind of need to know when an important message comes in, so that seems like something that they need to get out as soon as possible. Lastly, and this goes for most of the Polar devices, it does feel like you really need the Polar Flow application on your smartphone to make changes on the watch. You can't easily go in and change data fields right from your watch, and that might be something that I just missed, you know, I do overlook things all the time, but it'd be really nice to be able to go and change something if you don't have your phone with you

 So stick around to the end of the video and I'll go over all the details about that. And this watch costs $430, which is expensive, but I do think it's kind of the perfect price point for this particular watch. It is a very nice watch, definitely a premium product, and it comes in this super nice box with charging cables, with the instructions, of course the watch itself, and it just feels like a premium product, I would say. Polar, excellent job on this particular packaging

 The Polar Grit X really is a fantastic watch and it really shows me that Polar is making a ton of progress on these devices. And in my opinion, the Polar Grit X is the best multi-sport watch that Polar has ever made. So if you're considering something like a Garmin Phoenix 6 or even that Garmin 945, you should definitely consider this watch along with those. It is at a better price point

The award-winning Suunto Core comes in a range of stylish design options, packing easy-to-use outdoor functions in a robust construction. Combining an altimeter, barometer and compass with weather information, Suunto Core provides the essential features for adventures in the great outdoors. Designed to bring out the explorer in you.

OutdoorGearLab

The Suunto Core Alu is a classic ABC watch designed to get the basics right. It tracks total ascent and descent and offers both barometer and altimeter graphs, a compass, and a reliable, long-lasting battery. You won't be worried if you take this on a multi-day or even a multi-month mission. 
It's not filled with as many features as the Garmin Fenix 5 Plus and doesn't include a GPS. We also wish that the altitude and barometer graphs were a little sleeker. If you are looking for something a little more affordable, opt for the traditional Core, which costs a lot less. Despite its drawbacks, we figure that an altimeter watch should do one thing well—measure altitude—and that's something the Core Alu does.  

Switchback Travel

The Garmin Instinct 2 Solar above is a modern sports watch complete with GPS support and smart features, but not everyone needs such a complex design (or wants to pay for it). For the best in ABC functionality without additional bells and whistles, it doesn’t get much better than the Suunto Core. Priced at $250, the Core offers top-notch accuracy with a premium barometric altimeter and packs in an impressive lineup of features, including sunset and sunrise times for more than 400 locations, alerts of changing pressure or disappearing daylight, and a seven-day altitude log for hikers. Tack on a sleek minimalist design and a wide variety of optional colors, and the Suunto Core is a true everyday multifunction watch.

The Suunto Core has been on the market for a number of years, and in that time users have seen a couple issues crop up. First, the band doesn’t always hold up well under heavy use, and a replacement piece will run you around $61 (or cheaper for a knock-off). Second, despite the large screen, some find the black background and white text difficult to read in sunlight. And finally, the Core is far from the cheapest option here—you can save money with watches like the Pro Trek PRG-270 and Lad Weather Master Sensor below, and even the GPS-equipped COROS Pace 2 is more affordable at $200. But for the best combination of quality, functionality, and durability, the Suunto Core is our favorite non-GPS altimeter watch of the year.See the Suunto Core

 The Amazon.com main image might have you think the display is a purple hue, but it is gray at all angles.  Having said all that – if you need a watch for highly critical missions, this watch will likely fall below the range of functional necessity. However, if you need a backpacking, casual or travelers watch, you should be really happy with this watch

 The watch needs to be removed for an accurate reading. • A tad bulky on thin wrists (not really a con, just worthy of noting for those who have smaller wrists) • Alti/Baro log review is limited by style of display. If this is a critical feature to you, I'd consider GPS watches • You can only set a single alarm. This is also such a huge oversight

  Having said all that – if you need a watch for highly critical missions, this watch will likely fall below the range of functional necessity. However, if you need a backpacking, casual or travelers watch, you should be really happy with this watch.

Attractive, functional watch – with needed improvements. Please rate, if helpful.

 At added cost, I would love to see a fortified solar version with a reserve and a backup battery. Water resistance is decent, but no where near my Casio Mudman 9300, which was half the price and put up with a LOT more abuse. Granted, the Mudman does not have an alti/baro function, but for me those are more of a want vs. need

Good watch with some shortcomings.
