Review on Polar Vantage V2 Smart Watch: A Sleek Black Fitness Companion by Mohd Arif ᠌
I do not advise buying this, it does not meet the stated standards.
The screen displays only one parameter, for example, the pulse, to switch to another you need to press the buttons or scroll through the screen 9 The sensor on the watch is also blunt, it does not always work, you need to get used to it 10 If you turn on notifications, everything will pile up, there is no choice of what to show and what not, for example, I don’t need email notifications, but I can’t turn them off separately 11 there is no NFC, even mi bands for 3000 have this function. 12 no blood oxygen saturation sensor - a useful thing for both covid and mountain climbing 13 in hours everything is slow, all animations work slowly and ugly 14 Polar incorrectly transmit data to apple health - something is doubled up, something is not transmitted 15 do not offer automatic start of the workout, for example if you ran and forgot to start the workout You can continue to list the cons, there are many, but I think what is already enough. Personally, after Apple Watch 4, I couldn’t degrade to Polar V2, I thought about leaving them and putting them on for long workouts, but what’s the point? I don’t have a lot of long workouts, and for them you can mess around with the MiBand (on which the screen and sensor are an order of magnitude better than those of the Polar, and the charge holds no less) and the phone. In general, do not repeat my mistakes and hold the watch in your hands before buying. I myself will wait for the fall and ate to the latest Apple Watch. And it's hard for me to imagine if polar v2 is the best that this company has, then what kind of bottom is everything else. I tried to realistically and honestly describe my experience of use, no one gave me a polar for a test, and as you understand, Apple doesn’t pay me extra for praising them either.
- They are not here. It would be possible that the battery would work, the watch really works longer than the Apple Watch, but not as much as the manufacturer claims. Plus, the watch is so primitive and the screen is so bad that it would be strange if they didn't last long on a single charge. With 2-3 workouts per day, of which only one uses GPS, one full charge lasts 4 days. I bought the watch in early April, the price is 49,000. with an H10 sensor, I sold it on ebay for 36,000 at the end of June, and I'm glad I got rid of it, albeit with a discount. I’ll say right away that I bought the watch from an authorized dealer, new, not left-handed, I wore it to a service center for verification, the watch was tested and they said that it was technically working and working as it should. I myself am an Apple Watch 4 user. I looked at the polar for a long time, only the battery didn’t suit Apple, if the watch is not new, then you can run a marathon at full charge or not run at all - it will be discharged. I reviewed a bunch of videos about Polar, everywhere, as a rule, good reviews, and stories about "cool" functions. Only one vlogger had a video stating that the pulse sensor on the Apple Watch is in no way inferior to the chest strap from Polar. After 3 months of using the watch, it became obvious to me that the polar has no advantages, this product is 5-7 years behind, and only those who have not held anything else in their hands can praise it. Speaking of sports: 1. The watch does not know how to correctly determine swimming workouts. Sometimes they don’t determine the swim distance at all, they show only time and heart rate, other times they show overestimated data by 20-40%, this is a lot, you can swim 4 and 5 km in them in an hour. Actually for me this was the reason for contacting the service - you never know, marriage. But no, no marriage, the service master admitted in a frank conversation that the polar algorithms are backward and that there are a lot of such calls, not only with swimming, but also with other training. I was given instructions on 2 sheets of how to swim so that the watch would measure the distance correctly. 👇
- For the experiment, I did everything - it didn’t help, then they said that it was necessary to turn around somersault, tried it - it didn’t help, they stubbornly count more tracks than there are in fact. Moreover, unsportsmanlike AW4 never let me down, and their error is no more than 1 track. 2. GPS is not working correctly, it may show that you ran on water, or ran through a building 3 The heart rate sensor on the watch works with an error of 15-20 beats per minute, which is a lot 4. Sleep analysis does not work correctly and every other time, despite the fact that the watch is very tightly fastened on the arm, for 3 months at 5-6 nights they did not determine sleep at all. 4 The watch supposedly can show the level of your physical activity, determining detraining or overtraining, everything is great in the description, and most of the plus or minus showed something close to the truth, but it could also show detraining after a two-hour intensive swimming training and the data of the watch does not correspond to personal sensations 5 On running, the watch does not show anything more than other devices show. For example, a standard running workout in Apple Watch in the fitness app or in the Nike Run Club shows exactly the same information, and by the way, the MiBand 4 fitness bracelet is nothing informative and accurate training does not differ from Polar, I specifically compared it, but it costs 20 times cheaper (although it only works with a phone) 6 Doesn't show current time in workout view 7 The screen on the Polar V2 was removed from my first color push-button phone, it's just a shame. The screen is pixelated, squares are frankly visible in the corners of the numbers, the color reproduction is very weak, what you see on the photo of the box or on the Internet is a fake. Before buying, hold the watch in your hands, and think about whether you need this or not, or watch the video, but not advertising, but real shooting. The screen brightness is automatic, everything is visible in the sun, but everything is very dim in the room, for this the manufacturer also added a backlight from the button 8 The screens are not informative, this applies to both the workout screen and just the screen
