Review on πŸƒ Polar Vantage V" - The Ultimate GPS Multisport Watch for Triathlon & Multisport Training with Heart Rate Monitor, Running Power & Waterproof Design by Adela Bujor ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not a good product, sorry to have spent money on it.

With my prior Polars, the M430 and the H10, I had no problems at all. I used them for about a year without experiencing any hiccups or failures. I probably dreamed about Vantage V for close to a year, yet I still wanted more. Saying I was dissatisfied is equivalent to saying nothing. People wore out their languages in every forum while debating the curvature with which the GPS gadget operates. My dear mother, how could Polar's premium flagship be put on sale with such a depraved joint? The GPS points on the course are jumping, which means that the pace cannot be accurately displayed by the clock because the track is utterly wrongly planned out. You move along at a steady rate of 5:30, and if there are no obstacles or clouds in your path, you can swim at any time between 4:30 and 7:00. In any case, how is this even conceivable with a watch that is marketed as a running watch and even has a premium prefix? I was aware of this issue when I purchased them, but for some reason I assumed it had been resolved by updating the firmware. In reality, the issue persisted and was not going away. Polar officially (!) on its website recommends (!) to run turning the watch to the sky by 90 degrees from the wrist. The manufacturer somehow very cunningly concealed the antenna in the casing, so that it does not view satellites ordinarily from the wrist. In addition, they do not write for some reason, so how can you check your pulse if there isn't a bib? They didn't offer to affix them to their foreheads, at least. I ran a few modest workouts in them as usual, but after 15 kilometers, they stopped and rebooted. They rebooted when I attempted to enter the training calendar from the clock. As a result, I returned them to the store, crossed my fingers (though I was not a believer), received my money back, and promptly forgot about them. It's unfortunate that it took place because. I adapted to the polar. Flow was excellent, and it was perfect for me. I had to give up on Polar for the following couple of years because the Vantage M has the same issue and the Grit X GPS module has the same issue. It is also unclear from the reviews how it will ultimately function. I had to switch the platform since when you spend almost 500 euros on a fitness tracker, you expect to get more.

Pros
  • Nobody else has this design, which in my perspective is quite attractive. a battery's life. Flow Polar service. running power evaluation at the wrist. It is quite easy to navigate how the body recovers after exercise when you recharge at night. Other features like serene, recuperation pro, and many more were developed by marketers, but I didn't find any need for them.
Cons
  • bugs with the software. The poor performance of GPS ruined all the benefits for me. There was a sense of a raw, unfinished product. Even though the heart rate sensor on the wrist is mediocre, if you enter anaerobic or MPC zones, you are unable to escape the bib.
