Review on ๐Ÿƒ Polar Vantage V" - The Ultimate GPS Multisport Watch for Triathlon & Multisport Training with Heart Rate Monitor, Running Power & Waterproof Design by Taufik แ Œ

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

I bought the watch along with the H10 chest sensor. The price, of course, is biting, but the watch makes me happy. Large reflective display. This means that the watch always shows the time, and not only when you wave your hand or press a button. And the brighter the lighting, the more contrast the picture. In dim lighting, the picture is also dim, but there is a backlight. In terms of the standard functionality of smartwatches, it is rather meager. No apps, no choice of watch faces. Notifications from the phone are configured, but, for example, you canโ€™t read the mail - only the subject of the letter. The watch, of course, is sporty and sharpened for training. There are many sports modes and settings. Sports dials in training mode are very flexible. In normal mode, different screens show the current heart rate, the percentage of achievement of the daily activity goal, body condition, sleep, training history. In general, the watch is not valuable in itself, but as part of the entire Polar Flow ecosystem, which allows you to analyze both each training session and progress in general on your PC and phone. The H10 measures heart rate more accurately and, as a bonus, allows you to perform an orthostatic test, giving feedback on the degree of recovery after training. There are certainly bugs in the firmware, but they are eliminated in ates. So support is a plus. Strange feature. To synchronize and ate, the watch must be placed literally next to the phone. If you just sit with the clock half a meter from the phone, the synchronization may break. Rubber strap. At first I tightened it, as it is written in the instructions, but the hand quickly sweated and irritation began on the skin. Therefore, I slightly loosened the belt, which did not affect the measurement of the pulse, but had a positive effect on the condition of the skin. If the pulse is not measured continuously, then it is worth loosening the strap even more and there will be no skin problems at all Despite the shortcomings, in general, I am satisfied with the watch. Therefore, according to the general sensations of the watch, I put 5 *

Pros
  • Reflective display Glass and body are scratch resistant Serious sports performance thanks to the PolarFlow ecosystem Battery lasts 8 days (minimum 4 days in continuous heart rate measurement mode)
Cons
  • No support for Android Wear and installation of third-party applications The pedometer is inaccurate. Especially on the stairs. I counted the steps - the phone in my pocket usually shows even more accurately than the watch on my hand. The choice of two dials, one of which (analogue) is so poor that there is, in fact, no choice Stubborn buttons.
