Just released this afternoon is the new Polar Grit X Outdoor Multisport watch. Specially designed for outdoor enthusiasts, the Polar Grit X combines a rugged housing with a lightweight design and all-new Smart Coaching features. Polar also promises ultra-long battery life.
MIL-STD-810G standard
Polar Grit X is unlike any other because it is designed to meet the military MIL-STD-810G standard. In theory, it should be able to cope with the toughest conditions. The Polar Grit X weighs just 64 grams without sacrificing battery life: Polar claims the battery lasts about 40 hours in full training mode and even up to 100 hours in one of the power-saving modes. Handy for longer outdoor adventures such as a multi-day trekking or an ultra-endurance run.
Hill Splitter function
A new feature on the Polar Grit X is the Hill Splitter function. This automatically detects whether you are going up- or downhill, and according to Polar in this way you can better anticipate the intensity of variable terrain. The watch naturally provides detailed performance information after each training or hike and also provides in-depth insights into the intensity of your activity. The watch can also help you adjust your speed at various stages of your workout for a more structured workout.
FuelWise Power Assistant
Anyone who is regularly intensively engaged in training or who is on the go for longer hiking trips, knows that a regular intake of food and fluid is crucial to bring your activity to a successful end. Polar’s FuelWise Smart Nutrition Assistant provides custom automatic reminders to help you consume regular nutrition and most importantly, fluid. The watch is of course equipped with an optical sensor that measures your heart rate.
Komoot integration
Other new features of the new Polar Grit X include integration with the Komoot route planning and guidance app and a two-day weather forecast, for on-the-spot planning when weather conditions change. For these functions, the Polar Grit X works together with your smartphone with the Komoot app installed. More about the Komoot app here.
