The strap is almost exclusively made of silicone on all Polar watches. The lens material varies from watch to watch: the Vantage V2 has Gorilla Glass protecting its display, the Vantage M2 a ‘hard-coated PMMA laminated’ glass and the Ignite 2 features Dragontrail glass lens. A typical Polar watch case is often made of glass fibre reinforced polymer, a very sturdy plastic compound, while the bezel is either stainless steel or aluminium. Polar has a more streamlined lineup and its watches look quite similar with their round watch faces. (Image credit: Polar) Garmin vs Polar: build qualityīoth Garmin and Polar watches are renowned for their build quality but they differ from each other significantly. Aimed at the same audience as the Garmin Venu series: sporty people who need a watch with a bit of style. Lastly, there is the Polar Unite, also a fitness watch but with less features than the Ignite 2. This is the updated version of the Polar Ignite watch (obviously). Next step down is the Polar Ignite 2 fitness watch that has integrated GPS and quite few sport modes as well as sleep tracking/analysis. For lovers of the Great Outdoors, there is the Polar Grit X, with features such as ‘detailed uphill and downhill stats’ and route planning with Komoot.

The top of the range Vantage series includes the excellent Polar Vantage V2 and Polar Vantage M2 watches, both featuring a slew of performance and recovery features. Polar has a more streamlined watch range than Garmin. Notable models are the Garmin Venu Sq and the Garmin Venu 2/2S. Great for people who appreciate health functions in a watch but not too keen on the sporty look of the Forerunner series. The Venu series has more health and wellness features and is less focused on athletic performance. Given the adventure watch nature of the Fenix series, it’s focused on navigation and extended battery life. This ‘adventure watch’ is extremely powerful and feature-rich and essentially includes all the features Garmin has to offer in a smartwatch.

The Fenix series includes the ever-so-popular Garmin Fenix 6 Pro and almost 30 variations of it. There is also the Garmin Forerunner 745 which is aimed at triathletes and is almost identical to the Forerunner 945. Beginners will like the simplicity of the Forerunner 45/45S, intermediate athletes will appreciate the versatility of the Garmin Forerunner 245 and pros will love the Garmin Forerunner 945. The Forerunner series is Garmin’s main multisport watch range and it’s true that there is a Forerunner for athletes at any skill level. We won’t be able to discuss every single Garmin watch in detail here – we have plenty of Garmin watch reviews on T3, if you’re interested – but there are three main ‘series’ you might want to know about: Forerunner, Fenix and Venu.
