Polar Vantage V3 – GPS Multisport Watch with Advanced Heart Rate Monitoring, Extended Battery Life, Offline Maps, and Navigation for Running & Triathlon

Versus the Vantage V-- Faster CPU results in much better responsiveness-- Significantly longer battery time-- The OLED screen is much, much clearer and sharper to see-- Watch face configurability means its easier to access the data you're interested in-- Some great functionality improvements and tweaks, including in the just released version 3.0.16-- More comfortable to wear and I much prefer the nylon loop strapReally pleased with the purchase.I can't compare to other brands, but this watch does everything I need in the gym and long distance walking. And its an good looking, relatively compact watch that I use 24x7.

The media could not be loaded. It's really light, and I like the design. It has a lot of sport profiles and the straps feel as very good quality. I also bought the bike mount and it's amazing.

I have been sent a watch that was patently not "new"...the watch was dirty, the charging cable was fifty and had clearly been used. Will be returning this asap...Updated...not only was it not a new item, it doesn't even work, it is stuck in a boot loop. Clearly, the watch had been returned by the 1st purchaser because it would not start and Amazon have then just sent it to me!!That's pretty poor by Amazon I'm afraid

I really like this watch, it looks super smart and feels really nice to wear. I do find it is a bit heavier on my arm and is quite big - my husband tried it on and it was fine on him though, so perhaps this size is made more with men in mind.I found it seemed very accurate when compared to my husband’s Apple Watch, we went for a walk together and had a similar reading (accounting for his somewhat longer strides than mine). It’s really easy to set up and find your way around, and the battery lasts really well. I like that you can change the wristbands - I haven’t got any new ones yet to try doing this with, but it’s great to have the option.Overall, it’s a great watch. It’s a bit more on the expensive side, but I think it’s worth it. Recommended.

So I’ve had 4 Polar watches and they’ve helped me to change my lifestyle. This is the latest and greatest it’s all good fast great screen and battery life off the scale. Love the exercise routines with instruction and stick people showing what to do. Haven’t really delved into what heart measure do yet or used mapping route planning but it’s not a navigate to capability.. App that goes with it is also very good. Lots of other interesting things from sleep weather dusk etc etc. comforting to know that my personal data is held in the EU and not being sold.

Review from my husband:This is the watch to end all watches, period. It looks fantastic with its oversized face because let's face it, we love big faces 😊 is that too many faces? But really, it's an amazing watch and I've only just scratched the surface, to be honest. It measures heart rate, calorie use, blood oxygen levels, pedometer and all sorts. Combine this with the app and it knows all your stats if you're honest 😉 and can track anything, hook it up to your phone and it tells you about calls, emails etc. It's really useful and like having a reminder about stuff you need to do on your wrist and did I say it looks really bloody good too, nice tactile buttons to navigate the multitude of options, and it's all black so it's brilliant and looks way better than any I smartwatch I've ever seen. This looks like a real watch which is really nice. In the options, there are multiple face settings so there's always going to be something that suits you. And then there's the navigation, it's bloody fantastic, you'll never get lost wearing this watch ever! There are maps galore, it's fantastic and you can even download maps on the go and then there are offline maps....fantastic. It's like having a PC on your wrist, the battery life on full charge should easily last you 5 days so that’s great also. I could go on but I haven't even started to discover how many useful attributes this watch has, and at over half a grand in price, it's a lot but don’t all good watches cost a lot? This one delivers on every front. It's amazing, I love it and I swore I'd never have a smartwatch. 10/5 😊
