How do I pair my Grit X/Pacer/Vantage with the Polar Flow app?

If you did the setup from the watch, your watch is not yet connected with Polar Flow. You need to setup your watch in the Polar Flow web service or with the Polar Flow mobile app before you can pair a mobile device with your watch. For instructions, see How do I start using my Grit X/Vantage?

If you did the setup for your watch with a mobile device, your watch has already been paired. If you did the setup with a computer and would like to use your watch with Polar Flow app, please pair your watch and mobile as follows:
