The display was too dark

I may have a defective device, but the display was very dark. There is no option to change this in the settings either. I suspect this is the main reason for the better battery life, but after using various Polar and Fitbit products I found this unacceptable. Very disappointed as I've been waiting for the Vantage for a while. I love polar food but I'll stick with this one until it gets better. Worn one day and returned.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

The best GPS watch on the market (I've tried them all!)

I was torn between the Vantage V and the Vantage M. Since all I do is run, I chose the M. It's the most comfortable watch I've ever worn and the heart rate monitor on my wrist is much better. more accurate than my current Garmin 235. It was easy to set up (many thanks to Polar for the ability to customize the screens directly from the Flow app!), accurate heart rate and GPS, and the color screen was easy to see while running. in the street. Couldn't be happier

Pros
  • Everything great!
Cons
  • Some bugs

Fewer options than the old M430!?

The Vantage M has potential. There is accurate GPS and heart rate. My first run had some dips in heart rate but haven't since. I probably wasn't tight enough in the first run. Pretty easy to use (same basic button as M430 and other Polar GPS watches). The keys are more tactile when wearing gloves, which is a big plus compared to the M430. But there are also disadvantages. What I miss the most is the ability to change the color of the training view to black text on a light background. White text

Pros
  • Heart rate monitor
Cons
  • Only available in white

No precision compared to strap

I have been a Polar user for many years as an athlete. I still use my Polar M400 with great success; However, I was really looking forward to getting rid of the strap after 15+ years. Below are some pros and cons I found: Pros1. I like the button layout as this is (or was) Polar's standard. So if you've used Polar, it will be much easier for you to adapt. 2. I'm not a fan of touchscreen watches. I train to practice, not to play with dials. I understand fitness enthusiasts who want aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Fitness technology
Cons
  • Good but not great

If you're on the fence - read this!

First off, let me say that I've used Fitbit, Garmin, and Apple devices in the past. Most recently, I switched from the Apple Watch Series 5 to the Polar Vantage M. Overall I think this is a great sports watch. Apple is taking over smartwatches. But I needed a watch with a multi-day battery that would hold up better outdoors, especially when hiking, skiing, and hiking. Polar did a great job. A single charge lasts for 5-6 days of use, including sleep tracking, continuous heart rate monitoring and

Pros
  • Workout & Fitness
Cons
  • Not Bad
