Polar Grit X vs Fitbit Ace 2 (2019)

The Polar Grit X is an example of a great Fitness Tracker at its $400 budget.

In the case of the $87 Fitbit Ace 2 (2019), however, we weren't able to find enough data to come to any reliable conclusions. If you're considering buying a Fitness Tracker in the $85 range, we encourage you to take a look at some other options.

That's high praise coming from reliable sources.

As for the Fitbit Ace 2 (2019) - it impressed reviewers from a large number of trusted sources that are known for their reliable hands-on testing, including The Spruce, Expert Reviews, Good Housekeeping, The Independent, iMore, and Android Central. It performed great in their respective roundups - it got named "Best Wearable" by The Spruce, "best pedometer for kids" by Expert Reviews, and "Ranked 1 out of 5" by Good Housekeeping.

Due to the difference in their prices, however, it's important to keep in mind that a direct Polar Grit X vs. Fitbit Ace 2 (2019) comparison might not be entirely fair - some sources don't take value for money into account when assigning their scores and therefore have a tendency to rate more premium products better.
