Polar updates its watches, including the Vantage V3 and Grit X2 Pro

While CES 2025 is in full swing, we should not ignore the announcements made outside of the Las Vegas tech show. This is the case of the manufacturer Polar, which has just unveiled a 3.0 update for the software embedded in its connected watches.

A 3.0 update for several models, in two stages

As of this Wednesday, January 8, the Polar Grit X2 Pro And Polar Vantage V3. IF your wrist benefits from Polar Vantage M3 or a Polar Ignite 3you will have to wait until the second quarter of 2025 to be able to benefit from this major software update.

First of all, the Maps functionality introduced in 2024 with the Polar Vantage V3 now offers points of interest. Enough to quickly and easily identify key places outside, such as businesses or shelters.

Then, in addition to new customization options, including new watch faces, update 3.0 improves the search for the phone linked to the watch. The last synchronized location thus appears on the watch map, and a sound signal can be triggered to easily find it if it is within Bluetooth range.

Best for athletes

For athletes, this update allows you to relive your outdoor training after it has finished. The same goes for swimmers who can now benefit from detailed monitoring of their swimming styles. Finally, Polar watches in 3.0 can recharge during training while recording an activity. Polar promises 10 hours of battery life in GPS mode with heart rate tracking with just 20 minutes of charging.
