Impressive smart watch

I've worn my Polar Vantage M watch for about two weeks now after having a different brand smart watch, and I'm loving it! While all the available benefits of aren't intuitive to figure out without studying the manual, the basic ones are easily used out of the box. The watch looks and works great! Well worth more than its cost.

Would recommend as a fitness watch

Only had it a week but impressed so far by the data tracking both in watch and though Polar Flow app. Screen isn’t as bright as a Apple Watch but I knew that going in reading other reviews. Battery life is far more important to me. I charged three days ago and still have over 50% battery life. That’s wearing it 24 hours a day and using GPS tracking 1-2 hours a day. Would recommend.

Polar Vantage M

Upgraded to the Vantage M after four-plus great years with an M400. Took a bit of time to get used to the wrist-based HR monitor. Watch needs to be snugly strapped to wrist and ideally on a meatier part of the wrist farther up the arm rather than where the wrist and hand meet. I didn't do this on my first run and got inaccurate HR readings. But after the adjustment, it's been fine. I love the ability to change straps easily to any 22mm strap (I've already done that). Battery life has been much better than expected (2 hour run barely dents the charge). Still getting the hang of the Cardio Load report (accessible on FLOW app) - I don't think I have enough data to make good use of it yet. My greatest concern when looking at the specs was the lack of chime/sound for intervals or HIIT but the vibration that replaces the chime is loud and strong. I can both hear and feel it. The Vantage V has sound but is also considerable more expensive. The one knock I have is that the Vantage series does not sync with the Polar Scale as did earlier models. However, the workaround is simple - just sync the scale readings to the Flow app on your phone and all your data will be in once place. I'm a long-time Polar user and have been impressed by the way they support their products (2-yr warranty) including continuing to produce updates for older products. There are a slate of updates scheduled for the Vantage series that will add functionality that the brand new Ignite already has. In summary, the Vantage M has been everything I had hoped for and the Polar Flow app that you access on your phone/computer is so far superior to everything else the competition offers that Polar is the no-brainer choice for me.
