Based on kofuzi’s video review “Polar Pacer - Best Watch? or a Budget Watch?”—we’ve pulled out the essentials so you can test this session yourself. Watch the full video for deeper details.

What You Get with the Pacer

• Priced around $200, the Polar Pacer packs the same fundamentals as the Pro model: built-in GPS, sleep tracking, heart-rate monitoring, zone-lock capability, and structured workout support. Where it cuts back: no barometric altimeter, no magnetometer (so no compass features), and no on-wrist power measurement.
• Weighing just 40 g including the band, it sits light on your wrist—which actually works to your advantage when securing the heart-rate sensor; the minimal mass lets you cinch it snugly without discomfort.
• Zone-Lock is accessed via a long press on the lap button and sends you audio cues whenever your heart rate strays beyond your chosen zone.
• During structured workouts, you can configure different metrics to display in work phases versus recovery phases (power readout during efforts, heart rate during easier segments, for instance).
• Freeform sessions work too: just tap the lap button whenever you want to mark a split and track your own rhythm.

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

Program your watch to show power during the 6-minute hard repeats and heart-rate during the 1-minute recovery stretches. Tap the lap button to trigger each interval; the display will automatically flip between work and recovery screens as programmed.

Get Started Take this 6-×-6-minute threshold session out for a run today. Dial in the paces to match your Pacer app thresholds, and adjust the interval count or duration as needed for your training. Enjoy the workout!
