Review on Polar Vantage V2 - High-End Multisport Smartwatch with Built-in GPS, Advanced Wrist-Based HR Monitor for All Sports - Music Control, Weather Updates, Phone Alerts by Seema Schroeder

I'm interested in technology, cycling/triathlon and I collect watches. So of course I bought this watch as soon as it came out. I've owned many watches from Polar and other brands, including the Polar Vantage V1. This watch is packed with hardware and software upgrades. I really like the Hill Split feature. Every time I start climbing it shows me how much elevation gain and distance I've climbed, which is great for uphill reps. The addition of run, bike and jump tests is amazing. No other watch has this suite of tests to measure my running and cycling performance, as well as a way to measure overall leg fatigue. That's a killer. New choice for rock dial. Art Deco in Blue is my favorite. Looks very stylish. And the crystal is fine, the crystal GPS works great while I was swimming in open water. My watch from another brand does not have the same approval. And the optical sensor of my heart rate always shows very accurate readings. I usually don't wear the Polar H9 strap anymore, unless I'm doing interval runs or cycling. The last big thing about this watch is its weight! It's almost invisible on my wrist. Love it.
