Based on kofuzi’s “Polar Pacer - Best Watch? or a Budget Watch?” review. Here are the essentials so you can run the session. Watch the full video for the rest.

What you get with the Pacer

• Around $200, the Polar Pacer has the same fundamentals as the Pro: GPS, sleep tracking, HR monitoring, zone-lock, and structured workouts. What it cuts: no barometric altimeter, no magnetometer (no compass features), no on-wrist power.
• It weighs 40 g with the band, so it sits light on the wrist. The minimal mass lets you cinch the HR strap snugly without discomfort.
• Zone-lock: a long press on the lap button gives audio cues when HR strays from your chosen zone.
• In structured workouts you can show different metrics in work vs recovery (power on hard reps, HR on easy segments).
• Freeform sessions work too: tap the lap button to mark splits.

Sample workout

6 × 6-minute intervals at threshold pace
   - 6 minutes at threshold pace (or power zone)
   - 1 minute easy recovery (watch shows HR to confirm recovery)
   - Repeat 6 times

Set the watch to show power during the 6-minute reps and HR during the 1-minute recoveries. Tap the lap button at each interval; the display flips between work and recovery screens.
