I love that this watch is lightweight so it doesn’t interfere with sleep. Has all the features I want, barometer and GPS tracking for outdoor activities. Heart rate monitor is accurate as long as the watch is positioned during workouts as the owner’s manual describes (one finger width above wrist-bones). Would buy again.

It’s a pure sports watch.
It doesn’t have the gimmicks that Garmin has but is unique in its focus on physical fitness.
Advantages:
Price.
very comfortable.
The only watch on the market that can read the pulse through my sleeves tattoos.
There is everything you need to improve your physical fitness.
Disadvantages:
Poor battery life. The watch needs to be charged every three days.
Relatively small screen Compared to Garmin.
In General Im very happy with this purchase.

I wanted a fitness watch that does everything I need it to and as well as compliment my uniform. This watch is great. I previously used an Apple Watch but am tired of getting notifications on my wrist for just about everything. This watch is great because I can easily turn on/off the ability to have notifications on my wrist and it does all the fitness stuff you would expect out of a watch like this. The polar flow app is great and I’m really liking it. This isn’t so much a smart watch so if you want a smart watch you can go with some over engineered Garmin watch and pay for the additional features. I personally don’t value 80% if the tools Garmin watches have nor the price. This watch was a great buy.

I was planning to upgrade my old Amazfit GTS which has served me well for almost 4 years. I wanted something that was a bit more focused on running rather than an all rounder fitness tracker. I’m a recreational runner, running 5-6k 3 or 4 times a week so didn’t want to pay a fortune for something with lots of features I wouldn’t get the benefit from but at the same time wanted some accurate and meaningful stats from sessions. I did tons of research and the two which kept coming up in reviews was this and the Coros Pace 3. I know Polar have been making running wearables for years and Coros are relatively new to the market but I was leaning towards the Coros mainly because that was the cheaper option for similar features. However, the Polar was at an excellent Prime Day offer price (£70 cheaper than the Corps) so I decided to give it a try.
I’ve been using it for about 6 weeks now and I’m absolutely delighted with it. It’s probably a little heavier than my previous watch but from other reviews much more lightweight than similar devices, it looks stylish, and feels solid. I chose it in the black/grey colour which has a kind of gunmetal look to the bezel and the buckle and a very dark grey, almost black, strap. I would have preferred a woven strap but Polar don’t seem to do one for this model and although they provide a connector to attach a different strap I had trouble doing this with an old woven one. That said, the silicon strap is comfortable to wear and I don’t feel the same level of slipping when I’m running as I did with my Amazfit.
I found the set up on the app wasn’t as straightforward as it could have been but that’s the case for pretty much every wearable. It also took me a while to work out how to sync the watch and to get used to the lack of touch screen, which I actually prefer now because there’s no accidental turning off or on which used to happen with my old one.
While some reviews have mentioned that the display looks basic, I’m happy with the look. In some lights I need to turn on the backlight to see the dial clearly but not really a big deal. The battery life is great. I get roughly a week out of a single charge with 3 or 4 runs.
GPS connects very quickly, the watch is easy to navigate, and being able to clearly seen heart rate, speed, distance, etc on a run is great and something my previous watch didn’t have. GPS is also very accurate, and the detailed breakdown of stats and an option to record reflections of an activity through the app is great. Sleep tracking in far less accurate and sometimes doesn’t record at all so if this is a deal breaker for you this might not be the right watch. I have also noticed that the watch has occasionally turned itself off.
I’ve tried some of the other sports settings, yoga, Pilates, and climbing but with all of these activities I’m not sure that there’s a meaningful way to record them aside from heart rate tracking so I think it comes into it’s own with cardio based movement activity – running, walking, hiking, bike riding, etc although I haven’t tried the others yet.
Previous reviewers have talked about how great the Polar Flow app is. I haven’t had too many issues aside from initially trying to navigate it but I think there are some really basic things missing, mileage per month, for example. You can find this on the web version of Polar Flow but I don’t understand why little things like this aren’t on the app.
All things considered, I’m giving in 4 stars, it’s really a 4.5 but I don’t have that option. It’s only the minor points that prevents it being a 5 and I’m prepared to overlook those for the benefits. It’s an excellent watch for the price I paid for it.

Not only does this watch provide a timer to keep track of your workout, it also tells you how hard you worked out! Before leaving the gym, check your watch for the latest weather! This watch is EXTREMELY comfortable to wear! I can’t even notice that I am wearing it! I wear it all day, even when I’m in the shower! It’s one of the best products that Polar has made so far! It is worth the price! … every penny of it!

I have used Garmin watches and they do a lot very well. Most recently the fenix 7 solar. That is a great watch but bulky and heavy. I thought I would try the Pacer Pro at 41 grams. It is very comfortable, you barely notice that you have it on even when sleeping. The GPS is accurate and connects quickly. It measures sleep extremely well. I run but also do many other cardio exercises and they have everything I do as a workout. Also has strength training. The Polar app is comparable to Garmin for what I look at.
I gave up music (although I always had trouble with that with Garmin), maps, and the touchscreen. Also Polar does not give you the abundance of watch face options as Garmin and it seems like replacement watch bands are not as plentiful or really as seamless as with Garmin. All that said, for me, the Polar Pacer Pro brings what I need in a fitness watch at a very good price! And it is incredibly light and comfortable!

Has everything an experienced runner needs from a sports watch. Good value for money. GPS is accurate, heart rate measured by the sensors behind the watch seems more accurate than on my Polar Vantage M from 5 yrs ago. Battery is ok too. Light and comfortable to wear. Bonus points for being stylish, modern and discreet design

Heart rate with the strap works very reliable. Very suitable for training and no annoying notifications. Could look a bit better. Sleep tracking is also interesting.

I have had my Pacer Pro for 11 months and worn it almost constantly. The reliability and accuracy have been great. I have not had the issues reported by other reviewers of the watch restarting, losing its memory or losing connection with the phone.
Sleep monitoring — not as great my previous Fitbit (Charge 5). Occasionally a day’s sleep is missed from the dairy but adding the sleep time just takes in a few seconds. More often, the start or end of sleep is off (almost always shorter than I think it should be), but again, it is simple to correct, and the added time is analyzed for sleep quality.
Until 3 months ago, almost all of my running was done on a treadmill, and the only useful stat from the watch was my heart rate. (For comparison, I start running with an H10 strap also, but the watch and strap were close enough that I quickly dropped the strap.)
For the past 3 months, I have been running outside and using a formal training plan (80/20 Endurance for half marathon on Training Peaks), and the watch has become very useful. Setting up my training plan for the next few days is pretty simple on the Polar Flow web site, and when I am running a planned workout, the Pacer will let me know when a phase or interval of the run should start and end and will signal when I am out of the target range of heart rate. Usually just ending the workout on the Pacer will automatically send my workout information to Training Peaks, but occasionally I need to manually trigger a synchronization with my watch to my phone, which will relay the information to TP. My running paths have good visibility to the sky, so my GPS tracks are very accurate. I have not noticed any information recorded by the Pacer that is not echoed to Training Peaks.
Overall, I am very happy with my Polar Pacer Pro.

I love this watch! It is light enough to wear all day without noticing it and the Pacer Pro has all the features I could want as a runner and cyclist.
The build quality is superb and the form factor is sleek though durable. I like knowing I can swap bands if I want to switch up the look! The HR sensor has been accurate and I like that it tracks my HR all day and while sleeping. Also, being able to control my music and podcasts is really handy!
The Flow app (works with the Pacer Pro) is a great tool in keeping tabs on my training, measuring my sleep, and guiding my recovery as well as performance. The running programs are also really useful and I have found them to be great for my 5k training.
If you’re looking to upgrade your watch game, the Pacer Pro is a great choice that will last for years to come! Highly recommended.
