Hardware

Polar has launched the Grit X3 Pro, its flagship adventure watch for ultra-distance athletes. The watch is built for thru-hikers, ultra-runners, and adventure cyclists who need long battery, offline maps, and rugged construction.

SpecsDisplay: 1.4-inch AMOLED, 1000 nitsBattery: 14 days smartwatch, 140 hours GPS (claimed)GPS: Multi-band GNSS, dual-frequency L1+L5Maps: Offline OSM, region-selectableCase: Titanium, 64 gWater resistance: 10 ATMSolar charging: Yes (top of bezel)

Why it matters140 hours of GPS battery is best-in-class. For multi-day events (200 km gravel races, 24-hour mountain bike races, thru-hikes), this is a meaningful upgrade. The closest competitor is the Garmin Enduro 3 (120 hours GPS), which costs $899 vs. the Grit X3 Pro's $799.

Cycling-specific featuresPower meter pairing, structured workouts, training load (TSS, CTL, ATL) 鈥?all present. The cycling-specific feature set is comparable to Garmin's Fenix 8. Polar's Vantage V4 (their running-focused flagship) lacks solar charging, but the Grit X3 Pro adds it.
