It’s not that there aren’t any differences. The Polar Pacer Pro has faster hardware and 5MB of internal RAM. That might sound low compared to something like the Apple Watch, but it’s a lot more than what every other Polar watch has. One of my biggest issues with Polar watches over the years has been how laggy the screens and syncing can be. The Pacer Pro fixes that. The Pro also adds a barometer, which Polar says can help you measure, aka your output, in watts.
The reality is the vast majority of features on this watch aren’t just for runners. Turn-by-turn route navigation is useful to hikers, cyclers, walkers, and anyone who is directionally challenged outdoors. Recovery insights like Nightly Recharge and workout suggestions like Fitspark are great fortrying to craft a training schedule. Hill Splitter — a feature that contextualizes your uphills and downhills — works for cyclists, too.
This is a good idea for beginners. Brands like Polar tend to be intimidating as, let’s face it, they cater to athletes who already have good habits in place and know what they’re doing. Polar’s running test is also no joke. It’s 30–40 minutes of running at an increasingly fast pace until your lungs hurt, your legs burn, and you fall into a sweaty heap on a nearby bench. It’d be challenging and not that helpful for true beginners.
Fitspark is a great feature that helps you figure out the type of training you should do based on your history. It’s also not the first time we’ve seen it.
