help Polar Grit X FAQ
Does the original Polar Grit X have offline maps?
No, the original Grit X provides route guidance rather than downloadable full-color maps. Routes can be planned through Komoot and synchronized to the watch for turn-by-turn directions, while newer models such as the Grit X2 Pro add offline maps.
How long does the Polar Grit X battery last with GPS active?
Polar rates the original Grit X for up to 40 hours of training with GPS and wrist-based heart rate enabled. Power-saving settings can extend recorded training time to around 100 hours by reducing GPS and sensor activity.
Can the Polar Grit X track hills and fueling during a long run?
Yes, Hill Splitter separates uphill and downhill sections using GPS and barometric altitude data. FuelWise can also issue carbohydrate and drink reminders during long sessions.
Can I swim with the Polar Grit X?
The watch carries a WR100 water-resistance rating and supports pool and open-water swimming profiles. It also weighs about 64 grams and uses Gorilla Glass with a stainless-steel bezel.
