Mashable writer Becky Wade Firth considers the Polar Pacer Pro to be in the running for her all-time favorite watch. Her review outlined the pros of the running watch, which include the watch's "vibrant and crisp" screen and its advanced GPS system. "It’s everything I want in a running smartwatch: lightweight, comfortable, attractive, and, most importantly, high-performing," she explains.

Her review is backed up by the Polar Pacer Pro's impressive stats. For starters, the watch gets up to 35 hours of battery life per charge. Its lightweight design of just 41 grams is ideal for running — an activity where wearing a heavy and bulky watch can be bothersome. It's also outfitted with a more advanced CPS (central processing unit) which Firth explains is a huge plus, allowing the watch to "think" faster.

The Polar Pacer Pro also comes with upgraded GPS that not only tracks every step, it gives you access to turn-by-turn directions, so you'll never get lost on a run again.

If running in 2024 is on your list of goals, the Polar Pacer Pro is one of the best running watches on the market, and today's deal of scoring the watch for $250.35 makes this an excellent buy.
