Athlete-Targeted Wearables

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Polar Debuted the Pacer Series of Performance-Monitoring Watches

— April 13, 2022 — Business
Polar has launched two new watches as part of its 'Pacer Series' of fitness-focused, performance-tracking wearables. The two watches are the Pacer and the Pacer Pro. The Pacer is priced at $199.99 USD and is geared towards entry-level runners, while the Pacer Pro is priced at $299.99 USD and is intended for professional track runners and athletes. The largest difference between the two watches is the software.

The Pacer tracks basic statistics such as heart rate, calorie loss, and distance over time charts, while the Pacer Pro tracks more intense metrics such as running power, turning speed, and stamina over time. Aside from these subtle differences, both of the watches share the majority of their features. These features include entertainment-focused tools such as music control and app integrations, as well as more utility-focused features such as weather monitoring, after-workout cooldown, and guided exercise tools.
