New Running Watch

A month ago I bought the Polar Vantage M because it was on sale, and I much prefer the Coros interface. The big plus is how comfortable all Coros watches feel and how lightweight they are. I can sleep with the Coros Apex on while the Polar watch hurts my wrist.

I've had this watch for around 5 months now, brought over lockdown as was going through a bit of an exercise rut and hoped this would re-motivate me. I generally train around 5 days a week with a mix of running, weights, rowing (water and machine) and I've found the extra data useful and interesting...

Hello. Can you help me with my first fitness watch?

Just to throw another brand in the mix:

Polar Vantage M. It meets all your requirements and can be found for around $150-175 USD if you look around.

I switched over from garmin to Polar and haven’t regretted it yet.

Wrist-HR does not work for me but love the other features

After having used Polar watches, a foot pod and chest strap HRM for decades, when my H7 stopped working, and fed up of having to post the watch to Polar for battery changes, I looked into wrist-HR sports watches. Lately I had been using just the Bluetooth enabled H7 with Strava on my iPhone for runn...

Coros Apex vs Garmin 645 vs Polar Vantage V2?

It’s hands down the best watch I have ever owned and I run just as much if not more than you at about 120-140 km a month on average. I run with my audio books, podcasts and music, I downloaded an app called Workoutdoors which gives more data than any Polar or Garmin I’ve had, I can’t see what you don’t like about it?

My 2nd smart watch

I was looking for a watch to help me track my fitness throughout the week, show me notifications and control music. Also the watch has to look sleek and be comfy. This watch really focuses on fitness, the recording of your heart rate, miles, time are all very accurate. The sleep tracking gives you a...

Running Watches without Touchscreens

Polar Vantage M2! This watch was exactly what the Apple Watch wasn’t — no annoying touch screen, long batter life (days), multi sport mode!

Looks great, but isn't the finished product yet.

Polar Vantage M First of all, I’m a long time Polar user. So I was excited about the Vantage M, which I mainly use for running. Unfortunally it’s a huge disappoinment. What I like about the watch: It’s light weight It looks nice 24/7 heart rate monitoring What I dislike and for me are a real dealbre...

Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! Did you get any cool run related gifts this year?

New running watch - Polar Vantage M. Big upgrade from the Fitbit I currently have. And some gloves.

The watch is really nice and it is not heavy. The presentation is ok. It comes on a box with the charger and a little manual. I was used to have a RC3 GPS. Pros > Got a lot of sports and you can change the way you see the time. The GPS works very quickly and you can monitor your heart rate every tim...
