Introduction

Congratulations on your new Polar Grit X!

The Polar Grit X outdoor watch is a lightweight but durable multisport watch for trail running, mountain biking, hiking – for all your outdoor sports.

Take your training to new highs and optimize your performance with Polar Grit X, the outdoor watch designed for the moments when the road is not enough and new goals are waiting off the beaten track. It comes with built-in GPS, compass and altimeter, and Polar’s unique training features.

With Polar Grit X and Hill Splitter™, you’ll know how you performed on the uphill and downhill sections of your session. You get detailed data about the elevation profile of your training session, and you’ll be able to compare hill stats between different sessions. Hill Splitter™ automatically detects all uphills and downhills by using your speed, distance and altitude data. It shows you detailed insights into your performance, such as distance, speed, ascent and descent, for every detected hill on your course.

Stay energized throughout your session with the new FuelWise™ fueling assistant. FuelWise™ reminds you to refuel and helps you maintain adequate energy levels during your long sessions. See how your body uses different energy sources during a training session. Polar Grit X divides your energy usage into carbs, proteins and fats.

Stay on the right path with Polar Grit X and Komoot. When you’re pushing your limits off the beaten track, knowing your way is vital. With Polar Grit X, you can import routes from Polar Flow or from Komoot and follow the real-time route guidance on your watch. When you import your route directly from Komoot, you get detailed turn-by-turn route guidance.

  • Advanced wrist-based heart rate with the Precision Prime™ sensor fusion technology.
