      Probably... as a finn obvious choise is polar or suunto `cause i like to support finnish products.
      Good old Suunto Spartan feels a bit old these days so this might be next clock to have. First need to watch this review before I make my choise. Its this clock or Suunto 9 peak.

      Ive been a fan of polar watches since the M200!! Im currently torn between this and the Garmin Instinct 2. I had the first Instinct but the lack of Connect IQ for the instintct made me return.
      I need tough watches as my job has me working in a wet enviroment with chemicals and also where i live Winters can be harsh.
      My only gripe is with the Polar App, the main display screen which show metrics is so boring. Add more info and colours like Garmin

    The problem all watched share is the ability for the sensor to see through tattoos.
    Polar admit that there sensors will not see through tattoos.
    I would love to buy the Titan version Grit X Pro watch as I currently have the Polar V Titan which is the only watch I’ve every had that can read through my tattoos to some degree.
    I had the Polar V2 but returned it as it just couldn’t see through the tattoos.
    I also own Garmin Fenix 6 Pro and Instinct.
    Good review.

    Anyone that's had sapphire glass knows it's hard to go back to anything else. It's now a requirement for me on any smart watch. I've had my Fenix 5x sapphire for years and I'm convinced it's un-scratchable haha. The stainless steel case has scratches on it by the screen has zero. It's amazing.

      Thanks Cody, I'm a big fan of Coros watches. Both the GritX pro and Vertix 2 share many of the same features. I like that the Vertix lets you save music on the device...rather than the Grit X just acting as a remote from your phone. The heart rate accuracy and general acuracy of the Polar is better...swings and roundabouts...I'd be happy with either of them 🤘

Not just not showing the sleep stages but not even adding any hours of sleep to the total of time you slept. So if you sleep like me 4h than train and then take a 1-2h nap it won’t count it.

I was considering the Polar, Venu 2 plus, and the Fenix 7 for my next watch. HR sensor on my Fenix 5 basically never works properly. It's had issues since it was just outside of warranty....

    The battery power only lasts for 7 days, rubbish watch ! I'll wait for Garmin Fenix 7.
