It is immediately recognisable as the Grit X &#8211; with additional engravings on the bezel. And yet the case finish is clearly of a higher quality, even on the &#8220;normal&#8221; black version. There is also the copper-coloured version shown here, a &#8220;golden&#8221; version and (for an extra 100 euros) the Polar Grit X Pro Titan as a premium version.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/running_blog_polar-grit-x-pro_04.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/running_blog_polar-grit-x-pro_04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1366\" height=\"768\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/running_blog_polar-grit-x-pro_04.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/running_blog_polar-grit-x-pro_04-770x433.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1366px) 100vw, 1366px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/running_blog_polar-grit-x-pro_02.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/running_blog_polar-grit-x-pro_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1366\" height=\"768\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22619\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/running_blog_polar-grit-x-pro_02.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/running_blog_polar-grit-x-pro_02-770x433.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1366px) 100vw, 1366px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The new sapphire crystal is barely noticeable.

Much more important, however, is the new function overlap with the Vantage V2. If you look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polar.com\/de\/produkte\/produkte_vergleichen?product1=98819&#038;product2=101573&#038;product3=101837\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Polar&#8217;s comparison overview<\/a>, there are only two differences between the watches: the Vantage V2 has an ambient light sensor and the Grit X Pro has a sapphire crystal.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/running_blog_polar-grit-x-pro_07.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/running_blog_polar-grit-x-pro_07.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1366\" height=\"768\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22629\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/running_blog_polar-grit-x-pro_07.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/running_blog_polar-grit-x-pro_07-770x433.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1366px) 100vw, 1366px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The big highlight for me: this gave the Grit X Pro the Orthostatic Test, the Leg Recovery Test and the Running Performance Test! These are functions that were previously reserved exclusively for the Vantage models.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/running_blog_polar-grit-x-pro_08.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/running_blog_polar-grit-x-pro_08.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1366\" height=\"768\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/running_blog_polar-grit-x-pro_08.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/running_blog_polar-grit-x-pro_08-770x433.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1366px) 100vw, 1366px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Almost as a logical consequence, the Recovery Pro functionality is also included. So you can now not just use Nightly Recharge for recovery tracking, but also the morning orthostatic test.<\/p>\n<p>New for the Grit X (Pro) are also the extended routing functions. For example, you can now reverse the direction of a route or be guided back to the starting point in different ways: along the planned route, along the route actually walked or as the bee flies.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/running_blog_polar-grit-x-pro_09.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/running_blog_polar-grit-x-pro_09.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1366\" height=\"768\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/running_blog_polar-grit-x-pro_09.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/running_blog_polar-grit-x-pro_09-770x433.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1366px) 100vw, 1366px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In practice, the Polar Grit X Pro has proven to be just as reliable as its siblings. The GPS quality was always ok, but has some problems when switching between good and bad reception (forest transition). The optical heart rate sensor was for me absolutely equivalent to a chest strap usable. At least on days that are not too cold&#8230; However, if you need absolutely reliable values, you are of course better off with a chest strap. <\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<div class=\"lets-review-block__wrap lets-review-block__wrap-10 lr-cf lets-review-wrap-22638 lets-review--center lets-review-skin-1 lets-review-design-1 lets-review-ani-1 lets-review-score-type-3 lets-review-type-2 lets-review-score-type__icon proscons__off\" data-design=\"1\" data-score-type=\"3\" data-skin=\"1\"><div class=\"lets-review-block lets-review-block__main-title lr-vc lets-review-block__pad\" style=\"background-color: #f8d92f\"><div class=\"lets-review-block__mask lr-vc\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/running_blog_polar-grit-x-pro_02-100x100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/running_blog_polar-grit-x-pro_02-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/running_blog_polar-grit-x-pro_02-45x45.jpg 45w, https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/running_blog_polar-grit-x-pro_02-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/running_blog_polar-grit-x-pro_02-293x293.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"lets-review-block__title lr-font-h\" style=\"\">Polar Grit X Pro &#8211; Is a switch worth it?<\/div><\/div><div class=\"lets-review-block lets-review-block__conclusion__wrap lets-review-block__pad\"><div class=\"lets-review-block__conclusion__title lets-review-block__title lr-font-h\" style=\"\">The lost twin<\/div><div class=\"lets-review-block__conclusion\">With the Polar Grit X Pro, you get the fraternal twin of the Polar Vantage V2.

This makes it a slightly more robust running watch in terms of appearance, but equally good. In other words: as a runner, you can choose between the two models according to your preferences.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"lets-review-block lets-review-block__crits lets-review-unseen\"><div class=\"lets-review-block__crit\" data-score=\"100\" data-crit=\"0\"><div class=\"lets-review-block__crit__title lr-font-h\" style=\"\">Quality<\/div><div class=\"score-overlay-wrap score-overlay-wrap__icon\" style=\"color: #f8d92f;\"><i class=\"tipi-i-star2\"><\/i><i class=\"tipi-i-star2\"><\/i><i class=\"tipi-i-star2\"><\/i><i class=\"tipi-i-star2\"><\/i><i class=\"tipi-i-star2\"><\/i><div class=\"score-overlay\" style=\"width:0%\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lets-review-block__crit\" data-score=\"90\" data-crit=\"1\"><div class=\"lets-review-block__crit__title lr-font-h\" style=\"\">Function<\/div><div class=\"score-overlay-wrap score-overlay-wrap__icon\" style=\"color: #f8d92f;\"><i class=\"tipi-i-star2\"><\/i><i class=\"tipi-i-star2\"><\/i><i class=\"tipi-i-star2\"><\/i><i class=\"tipi-i-star2\"><\/i><i class=\"tipi-i-star2\"><\/i><div class=\"score-overlay\" style=\"width:10%\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lets-review-block__crit\" data-score=\"90\" data-crit=\"2\"><div class=\"lets-review-block__crit__title lr-font-h\" style=\"\">Excitement<\/div><div class=\"score-overlay-wrap score-overlay-wrap__icon\" style=\"color: #f8d92f;\"><i class=\"tipi-i-star2\"><\/i><i class=\"tipi-i-star2\"><\/i><i class=\"tipi-i-star2\"><\/i><i class=\"tipi-i-star2\"><\/i><i class=\"tipi-i-star2\"><\/i><div class=\"score-overlay\" style=\"width:10%\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lets-review-block__crit\" data-score=\"80\" data-crit=\"3\"><div class=\"lets-review-block__crit__title lr-font-h\" style=\"\">Price \/ Performance<\/div><div class=\"score-overlay-wrap score-overlay-wrap__icon\" style=\"color: #f8d92f;\"><i class=\"tipi-i-star2\"><\/i><i class=\"tipi-i-star2\"><\/i><i class=\"tipi-i-star2\"><\/i><i class=\"tipi-i-star2\"><\/i><i class=\"tipi-i-star2\"><\/i><div class=\"score-overlay\" style=\"width:20%\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lets-review-block lets-review-block__final-score lets-review-block__final-score-type-3 lets-review-block__pad score-level-9\"><div class=\"score__wrap lr-all-c score__wrap__with__title\" style=\"background:#f8d92f; color: #fff\"><div class=\"score-overlay-wrap score-overlay-wrap__icon\"><i class=\"tipi-i-star2\"><\/i><i class=\"tipi-i-star2\"><\/i><i class=\"tipi-i-star2\"><\/i><i class=\"tipi-i-star2\"><\/i><i class=\"tipi-i-star2\"><\/i><div class=\"score-overlay\" style=\"width:10%\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"score\">4.5<\/div><div class=\"score__title lr-font-h\">Bewertung<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\": \"http:\/\/schema.org\/\",\n\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Organization\",\n\t\t\t\"name\": \"Polar Grit X Pro &#8211; Is a switch worth it?\",\"image\": [\n\t\t\t\t\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/running_blog_polar-grit-x-pro_02.jpg\"\n\t\t\t],\"review\": {\n\t\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Review\",\n\t\t\t\t\"reviewRating\": {\n\t\t\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Rating\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\"worstRating\": \"0\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\"ratingValue\": \"4.5\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\"bestRating\": \"5\"\n\t\t\t\t},\n\t\t\t\t\"author\": {\n\t\t\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Person\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\"name\": \"Thomas\"\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t}}<\/script>\n<div class=\"su-row\"><div class=\"su-column su-column-size-2-5\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<iframe style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-eu.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&#038;OneJS=1&#038;Operation=GetAdHtml&#038;MarketPlace=DE&#038;source=ss&#038;ref=as_ss_li_til&#038;ad_type=product_link&#038;tracking_id=harlerunner-21&#038;language=de_DE&#038;marketplace=amazon&#038;region=DE&#038;placement=B09GY37TYY&#038;asins=B09GY37TYY&#038;linkId=b48e8f7bf2be258190dfffbd62c989c1&#038;show_border=true&#038;link_opens_in_new_window=true\"><\/iframe><iframe style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-eu.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&#038;OneJS=1&#038;Operation=GetAdHtml&#038;MarketPlace=DE&#038;source=ss&#038;ref=as_ss_li_til&#038;ad_type=product_link&#038;tracking_id=harlerunner-21&#038;language=de_DE&#038;marketplace=amazon&#038;region=DE&#038;placement=B09GY34QRT&#038;asins=B09GY34QRT&#038;linkId=dc0db5be90c8f8ecf2b1a6babff39ae8&#038;show_border=true&#038;link_opens_in_new_window=true\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"su-column su-column-size-3-5\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\nBy using these affiliate links you get the usual good price and service of the shops and support my work on HarleRunner at the same time.
