Which Polar do you have? Vantage · Ignite · Pacer · Grit X · Unite
These quick-release bands fit Polar's Vantage (M, M2, M3, V, V3), Ignite, Pacer, Grit X and Unite watches in 20mm or 22mm depending on model. The Vantage V2 and Pacer Pro need Polar's own wristband adapter, so they are not covered on this page.
All bands here use the universal quick-release system — see the full quick release watch bands range.

Got a question? We are here to answer
Polar builds most of its training watches around two standard lug widths, so once you know your model, any quick-release band in that width fits. The Vantage line (M, M2, M3, V and V3) and the Grit X family (Grit X, X Pro, X2 and X2 Pro) all take a 22mm band. Ignite (1, 2 and 3), the standard Pacer and Unite all take the narrower 20mm band instead. Find your exact model in the list below to jump straight to the right width.
Every band here uses the same quick-release spring bar as your original Polar band: a small lever on the back of the pin lets you release the old band and click a new one into place, without tools and without opening the watch case.
Two current Polar models are the exception rather than the rule — the Vantage V2 and the Pacer Pro. Polar's own manuals call for its dedicated wristband adapter on both, so we do not recommend standard bands for either. See the full breakdown further down this page.
Buying bands separately also means you're not limited to whatever ships in the box. A stock band eventually wears out at the spring-bar holes, and keeping two or three styles in rotation — one for training, one for the office — means you're never stuck wearing sweaty silicone to a dinner reservation. It also makes it easy to replace just the band if the strap wears out before the watch itself does.

We carry six quick-release styles across the 20mm and 22mm widths Polar uses, and each one suits a different part of a Polar owner's week.
Most Polar owners end up keeping at least two bands on hand — a sport style for training days and a milanese or braided option for everything else — so they're never stuck choosing between comfort and looking put together.
The Vornis silicone sport band is the default pick for running, cycling or gym work — it rinses clean and doesn't hold onto sweat the way fabric can. The Rovan magnetic loop snaps to a new length in an instant, which is handy if your wrist size shifts a little during a long effort. Both styles are built to handle repeated sweat exposure without breaking down the way a leather or fabric band eventually would.
The Solin magnetic milanese band swaps the sport look for a fine stainless mesh finish with a magnetic clasp that adjusts to any wrist length instantly. The Mavric braided loop is a softer, stretch-fit alternative for a similarly polished but more casual look. Either option makes a Polar training watch look more at home in a meeting than its stock sport band typically does.
The Véllo nylon loop is soft, breathable hook-and-loop nylon that's low-profile enough to sleep in if your Ignite, Unite or Vantage is tracking sleep stages overnight. The Voren nylon loop is a woven alternative with a slightly different texture, useful for owners who want a second all-day option in rotation. Owners who wear their Polar to bed for overnight tracking generally find these two options disappear on the wrist better than a stiffer silicone band.
Every band on this page uses the same quick-release fitting as your original Polar band. Flip the watch over and find the spring bar connecting the current band to the case, then push the small lever on the back of that bar inward — the pin retracts and the band slides free. Line up the new band's spring bar with the lugs and press until it clicks into place, then repeat on the other side.
The whole swap takes under a minute and only involves the band and spring bar, so it doesn't loosen anything on the case or affect the watch's water resistance.
If you've never swapped a watch band before, it's worth practicing on a band you're not attached to first — it only takes a couple of tries to get a feel for how much pressure the release lever needs. If you're ever unsure which width your Polar takes, measure the gap between the lugs on the back of the case rather than guessing.
Silicone and nylon bands can be rinsed under running water after a sweaty session or a swim, then left to air dry before you reattach them. Magnetic milanese and magnetic loop bands should be wiped with a dry cloth instead of soaked, since standing water can sit inside the mesh links.
Keeping two bands in rotation — a sport style and a dressier one — also lets each band air out fully between wears, which keeps both fresher for longer.
Store spare bands flat and out of direct sunlight — prolonged heat can dry out silicone over time and dull the finish on magnetic milanese. A quick wipe-down before storing whichever band you're not wearing keeps it ready to go for next time.
These are the exceptions worth knowing before you order — every other current Polar model uses a standard quick-release band and fits normally:
