Review on πŸƒ Stay on Track with the Polar M430 GPS Running Watch by Aaron Stewart

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The stop recording feature is unstable at best.

I'd like to point out that I've been using the M430 for bike touring for a number of years and the only issue I've had was the battery dying, imo, prematurely (shame on you, Polar). So I bought a new M430 and used the new watch a few times while cycling. I returned the watch and asked for a replacement as the watch was unstable when I stopped recording. Sometimes a final countdown would start and instead of completing the countdown it would go to the "Pause" screen. Other times, the countdown would end and the watch would give me a 'Recording complete' message, but then I found that the recording hadn't actually ended. This watch was clearly damaged. The story gets worse as the replacement they sent me was not a new, unused watch, but someone's rejection. I also returned this watch and this time I am asking for a refund. Shame on Polar and shame on the seller.

Pros
  • Smart notifications from your phone straight to the screen
Cons
  • So far so good
