Smartwatch for sailing: Polar Grit X Pro Titan in test
As the smallest and lightest multisport outdoor watch in the test, the Polar product is particularly suitable for wearers who prefer a more delicate timepiece on their wrist.
Functionality and range of use are only slightly affected by this - as long as you can do without a map display on the watch. For navigation on land, even the lack of a map display does not have to be a knock-out criterion, as the watch supports popular navigation apps such as Komoot. The route is then simply created on the map on the larger screen of the smartphone/tablet and then transferred to the watch, which provides the directions on the way.
The Polar watch lacks a solar charging function, and the operation requires some familiarisation.
All in all, the Polar Grit X Pro Titan is an appealing multisport watch with a wide range of functions in a compact housing, but without a map display
