Polar battery life FAQ
Which Polar watch has the longest battery life?
The Vantage V3, at 12 days in everyday use — the longest of the 7 Polar models in our data. The typical Polar sits at 7 days, so it is well clear of the rest of the range.
Which Polar watch lasts longest with GPS on?
The Grit X Pro, rated for 43 hours of continuous tracking. GPS runtime is quoted separately from everyday runtime and the two rank differently, so a model that leads on days per charge is not automatically the one to take to a long event.
