Common questions
- How much does the Polar Pacer Pro cost?

- Does the Polar Pacer Pro require a subscription?
- No. The Polar Pacer Pro has no subscription — you pay for the hardware once and the Polar app is included.
- How long does the Polar Pacer Pro battery last?
- About 7 days of typical use per charge. Heavy GPS use, an always-on display, and continuous sensing all pull that number down.
- Is the Polar Pacer Pro waterproof?

- Do you need a phone to use the Polar Pacer Pro?
- No. The Polar Pacer Pro records, stores, and shows your data on the device itself — a phone is for syncing and review, not for tracking.
