Polar Pacer Pro: For Experienced Runners

At least 50% of runners injure themselves annually, according to Yale Medicine: That's an unsettling statistic for those who regularly pound the pavement. To take your training to the next level in the safest way possible, the $299.95 Polar Pacer Pro running watch might come in handy. It helps you level up your training with a number of tools and features designed to safely maximize your workouts, including running power measurements, ascent and descent tracking, sleep and recovery stats, personalized recommendations, and more. We wish it had a brighter screen, but that doesn't prevent the Pacer from leading the race in fitness trackers for runners.
