Polar Orologio Pacer

The item I received was faulty, kept randomly doing a ‘factory reset’. A quick search online can reveal that this is an issue had by a number of people with this model of running watch so not just a one-off

The Polar Pacer is a running watch first and a good one, but it can do more, and it offers a lot of what you'll find on Polar's pricier watches for much less. If you can live without mapping and navigation features or some of the richer training insights and performance tests, then this is a solid little performer. There's still some elements in the design we don't absolutely love, but it offers good hardware and software for the money and is a good alternative to Garmin and Coros sports watches at this price.

It’s not perfect, but there’s a lot to like for outdoorsy athletes

The Polar Grit X Pro is a better outdoor watch than the first Grit X, and added features from the Vantage V2 means it’s a better training partner too. The boost in durability and those software extras come at a bigger price than its predecessor, and some of the new Pro features are coming to the first Grit X too. If you want the best outdoor watch that Polar has to offer though, this is the one you want on your wrist.
