8/4/2022 6:18am @MX558 Since you are doing laps on a practice track, most likely, the starting point is the end point. The issue would be if you were leaving from a starting gate. If you know the distance of the track, you can adjust auto lap to unique distance, like .37miles. Essentially you have two ways to set autolap, by distance or...

8/3/2022 12:29pm Hi moto162, Thank you for training with Polar. See if the Summer heat is raising your avg HR or if your Training Load is higher so specific rides, this can impact your calories burned. If I do a 10K training run and it is hot and humid, all of my numbers are higher and my Running Index is lower. See...

8/3/2022 9:36am @crt32 Yes you can use the H9 to a phone, and it will be Strava specific, whereas the watch will record your training, cardio load, sleep and lots more. The H9 sends one Bluetooth signal, so it would dedicated to your phone and that is OK. If you purchase a Polar watch, you will want the H10 transmitter which send...

8/3/2022 8:05am Sorry I missed this post, Thank you to the current happy Polar riders who replied. Going forward, I think the Polar Pacer and a H9 transmitter is a great bang for the buck.

6/17/2022 9:23am @kxfracer108 The answer is yes. The Ignite2 is 100% touch screen, which is why we do not suggest it since gloves are worn, plus sweaty fingers makes it a challenge to navigate on the IG2. @GrapeApe I know all about the display on the M, The Pacer Pro has a brighter display versus the Grit x or Grit X Pro.

6/17/2022 8:47am Thanks for the feedback and sorry it has taken this long, but we did it, checkered flags are out!! Polar announced new sports profile, and prior to the announcement internally, I caught a peek and had to stick to the embargo LOL! Thank you for your support. Polar code FAMILY20 for a 20% discount, some restrictions apply. The top riders...

6/17/2022 7:06am Thank you for the kind words and details. I think a great bundle is the new Polar Pacer and the H9 transmitter. All of the watches provide optical heart rate (OHR) but HR off the chest provides instant hr, good for intervals where OHR will have a slight lag. Riding anything with a tight grip impacts the blood flow for...

6/15/2022 12:24pm Hello MX community, Just a fyi, and this has been asked, sorry for a delayed answer. Within your MX sports profile, change auto lap to location-based. The location used for taking laps is where you start the recording, so you can be in pre training mode, where you see HR and GPS are locked in, but not recording the session...

I'm an old slow vet rider myself, and the Polar/ XGPS combo makes me push harder than I would normally. Its kind of like Strava for Motocross - this way I can see how I'm doing as compared to other guys:

I’m also running a vantage M and H-10 which I believe is the last gen version of what he’s recommending. Couldn’t be happier. I’ll probably upgrade toward the end of this season to the new and improved

3/25/2022 12:49pm Thank you and my passion is that I became a huge fan of SX/MX, I listen to numerous podcasts, PulpMX, Whiskey Throttle, Swap Moto, and now Big MX Radio. I attend Metlife, Foxborough, Southwick and this year added Dilla. I LOVE THIS SPORT! I originally started supporting the factory teams, and then factory supported teams and try to help privateers...

Slow Vet rider here. I was using the Apple Watch and it sucked for GPS. I picked up an XGPS160 and mounted it in the crossbar pad. Hyper accurate. Paired with MXbuddy app, it’s fun to see what your best laps were and where you can improve. I still use the Apple Watch for heart rate but it’s inconsistent so I’ll pick up the polar.

3/25/2022 7:08am Hi CR92, thank you for training with Polar. Answers below #1 This is a global question, something not really discussed, this link might help. https://support.polar.com/en/contact #2 The only added features when paired with an iPhone is weather and music controls, depending on the watch. A Polar watch can work independently of a phone. Hope this helped and I understood your...

3/21/2022 7:19am I think the Vantage M2 and the H9 transmitter is a nice bundle. I highly suggest putting the watch on your bars and off your wrist, keep is safe if you dump the bike.

3/21/2022 5:55am Please be aware that the Polar Unite and Ignite2 are touch screen, and this could be an issue with gloves.
