Review Summary
The Polar V800 is an advanced multisports GPS watch for serious sports enthusiasts and professional athletes who want to reach peak performance.
Training load
Shows you how your training affects your body and helps you compare the load of different workouts. Continuous monitoring of training load will help you recognize your personal limits and adjust your training intensity and duration according to your targets.
Recovery status
Find the perfect balance between training and rest and get a true picture of your recovery status before getting out there again. Recovery status is based on the cumulative load of all your activities including your training sessions and data on the small activities you do every day. Continuous monitoring of recovery status helps you plan your training so that you avoid over- and undertraining.
Training Benefit
Motivating feedback that's delivered straight to you immediately after exercise is something they can all benefit from. So if you want to know the effect of different training sessions, this feature will tell you exactly what you need to know.
Running Index
If you're looking to keep on top of your running performance you'll find this feature a big help. Regular use over time allows you to see how efficient your running is. Your Running Index score is calculated automatically after every run, based on your heart rate and from the speed data collected from your GPS or stride sensor. A higher reading indicates that you can run faster with less effort. In V800, this feature can also recognize if you're running uphill or downhill.
Running Program
Train for a running event with a personal and adaptive training plan in Polar Flow. Choose from four different targets, 5K, 10K, half marathon and marathon and get a training plan that fits you and your goals.
Smart Calories
OwnCal is the most accurate calorie counter on the market. It calculates the number of calories expended during a training session based on your weight, height, age, gender, your individual maximum heart rate (HRmax) and how hard you're training.
Orthostatic Test
Orthostatic Test is an easy and reliable test to determine your current condition. It shows how your heart rate responds to training and factors such as stress and illness. By repeating the test regularly, you'll learn what to expect with your heart rate and what can affect it. You can then adjust your training to allow your body to recover when it needs it.
Fitness Test
If you're looking to improve your fitness and want to keep up to date with how well you're doing, the smart Fitness Test will tell you exactly what you need to know in just five minutes. By regularly comparing your test results, you can see what progress you are making and how your fitness is improving.
Activity Guide
Activity Guide shows how active you've been during the day. It also tells you how much you need to do to reach the global recommendations for physical activity. With practical guidance like 'walk for 50 minutes or jog for 20 minutes' you can choose how to reach your daily activity goal. Meet your goal faster with more intense activities or stay active at a slightly more moderate pace throughout the day.

Track Your Calories
Find out what your daily calorie consumption is and make sure you get enough energy. V800 tracks how much energy you consume in total in training calories, activity based calories and through basic metabolism.
Get Inactivity Alerts
To keep your body prepared for training, Polar V800 reminds you if you have been sitting too long. Sitting for long periods of time is not good for your health - even on those days when you train and gain enough daily activity. Sitting affects your blood circulation, metabolism, energy expenditure and how your body is prepared for training.
Monitor Sleep Duration And Quality
Sleep and required amount of rest are very individual and affected by several factors like training load, stress, body's condition and individual differences. Polar Flow mobile app and web service tell you how much you have slept and how restful your sleep has been. By following your sleeping patterns you can see if they're affected by any changes in your daily life.
