I&#8217;ve gathered and tried to interpret the few pieces of information available so far:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Polar hasn\u2019t just teased the new watch \u2013 each day, a few more details are to be revealed, gradually painting a clearer picture. If you&#8217;re curious, you can follow the current state of the announcement on the official product page: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polar.com\/de\/comingout\" title=\"Product teaser on polar.com\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.polar.com\/en\/comingout<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>According to the terms and conditions of the ongoing giveaway, the new watch is expected to have a suggested retail price (RRP) of \u20ac479. This would place it in the upper mid-range of Polar\u2019s product lineup \u2013 above the entry-level models, but below the high-end devices Grit X2 and Vantage V3.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The timing is also interesting: the giveaway runs until June 4 \u2013 which happens to be Global Running Day. Whether this is pure coincidence or a strategic decision remains unclear. In any case, it\u2019s quite possible that Polar plans to unveil the watch on that date officially.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At first glance, the announcement is reminiscent of the Vantage M3 \u2013 a functionally similar but more affordable version of the Vantage V3. I could imagine that the new model might therefore be a lower-cost variant of the Grit X2 series \u2013 potentially with a stronger focus on trail running and outdoor features.<\/p>\n<p>Whether and to what extent the new watch will actually offer advanced features for runners or trail runners will likely become clearer in the days to come&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Polar has announced a new product for the outdoor segment.
