Very inaccurate heart rate readings - failed to register peaks and dips on intervals
I was looking for a sports watch which would allow me to pair my bike cadence sensor, as well as well as my external bluetooth Wahoo Tickr heart rate monitor if needed. So I decided to see how good the heart rate monitor is - Polar have been hyping this up,but a fair few end users have reported the optical heart rate monitor is very poor and seems worse than previous Polar offerings.

To give some context, this year I've used a Garmin Fenix 5 Plus, Fitbit Surge, Amazfit Stratos paired with a Wahoo Tickr, and now the Polar Vantage M. So far, I've found the Fitbit Surge the best for me on wrist based tracking - the Fenix never managed to track sleep and over-estimated my readings when flat out by about 10 beats per minute. The Fitbit Surge tracks sleep superbly, and the gets my resting heart rate and running heart rate spot on. Its less good with cycling. The Amazfit Stratos optical heart rate sensor is hopeless apart from with resting heart rate, where its excellent. So I have a few sports watches + external monitor to compare with.

As a test I did a 20 kilomater (13 mile) cycle ride around the Lake District area, deliberately adding a set of hill climb intervals. With the intervals in particularly the Polar M simply failed to track the variations in heart rate from the expected increase on the climbs, to the decrease on descents. Instead I saw a steadily increasing curve with no peaks and dips as you'd expect with intervals. The other sports watch with external heart rate monitor naturally tracked the heart rate transistions perfectly.

I think the message here is that if you don't have an accurate external heart rate monitor to compare with the Vantage M, you might think the optical sensor in the Vantage M is doing a good job - but interval training with short bursts of activity, rest then start again several times is a real test of an optical heart rate sensor - and it simply does not measure up. As always firmware updates my fix this, but we are now into 6 months of production, so generally at this point I'd assume its a hardware issue (ie poor build in heart rate monitor) and its unlikely this will be solved down the line.

Useful for monitoring HR during workouts
I mainly use this watch as it connects to the polar H10 strap, and I can view my heart rate that way during workouts / on runs, without needing to look at my phone. Its a pretty good price compared to alternatives on the market. It seems to do much more than I need it too in reality but it works well and Im happy with it.

Screen fine outdoors, but poor for indoor activities
It's a great watch especially if you plan to use it mainly outdoors. The permanently 'on' screen is optimised for outdoor use, and is so dim indoors even with the backlight, that unless you have hawk-like vision it is a struggle to read. That was a deal-breaker for me and a real shame given the watch is good in so many other ways - it had to go back. In short, if you train outdoors it's fine, but indoors (and not in a super brightly lit space) it is a big question mark.

Much improved upgrade
Bought as an upgrade to my M430 as I was getting frustrated with the limited battery life and touch screen bugs - turns out unit was faulty and I did receive a refund but I decided to keep the Vantage M.
Battery life - I only charge it once a week, which is perfect for me, as I run 5 says a week and feel like I am constantly plugged into some charger or other.
GPS - takes a little while to connect but no more than a minute, never showed an incorrect recording or map so far.
HR - wrist based heart rates are sometimes a little dodge but so far it seems to have served me well. I have manually inputted my HR zones as they were too long for peak performance and they work for me much better now.
Ease of us - menus are easy to navigate. I know there was a bit of feedback that the buttons are slippy, but I've never had an issue whilst running. I actually find it easier to use than my previous touch screen which disliked cold or sweaty hands!
Polar flow/cardio load - I'm an absolute data junkie and the app/desktop site is amazing for getting all my stats through on. Cardio load is really handy for monitoring your current strain.
For me it does everything I nee it to, at a cheaper price than the equivalent Garmin.

Excellent sports/running watch
This is my review after a month of use. I will probably update it once I’ve had the watch longer, but so far it’s brilliant. I’ve previously used a Fitbit Blaze to monitor my heart rate while running but wanted more out of the watch. This does everything I need. GPS is one of the main features I wanted along with manual lap marking for intervals. I regularly go out running now without all the paraphernalia (phone, headphones, armband) I can just start the watch and go. As some others may have mentioned, my only niggle is that sometimes the GPS does take a long time to initiate. The watch is easy to navigate and setup. There’s no touch screen but not a feature that the watch really needs. It’s easy to get around with the side buttons. On the right side the middle button does all the confirmations and the buttons above and below navigate the info screens and menus. I’ve had no issues with accuracy. In fact I’d say it’s even improved as my Parkrun measurements are much closer to the actual race distance. The polar flow app and webpage are also easy to work around. The webpage obviously displaying more info and the ability to set specific run/ activity goals by calendar. The performance feedback is also easier to understand than Strava’s fitness feedback in my opinion. This is a stunning watch.

Polar keep getting better
I have waited for nearly five months of use before writing this review, mainly because I wanted to give the watch a fair try. I had read some very negative reviews about it and to be honest was taking a leap of faith when I bought it. However, I should never have worried. This is my fourth Polar device and by far the best!! If you are looking for a no nonsense accurate device to record your training sessions, and look good as your day to day watch, then this is the device for you. I train 4-5 times each week, with a varied range of activities from circuit training, running, swimming, cycling, both indoors and outside. I have found the Vantage has recorded all activities accurately and reliably. I do wear the H10 HRM most of the time, but even without I find the Vantage keeps an accurate record of my HR. It is a sturdy watch with a decent strap - believe me I put these areas to test every day!! Coupled with the continuing development of the supporting App, I have found this to be a brilliant device and would recommend to any day to day sportsman.

Very Inaccurate Heart Rate Readings
I am no longer a fan of the Polar Ecosystem. This is because I previously owned two Polar M430s (and a Polar Scale) and both watches displayed wildy inaccurate heart rate readings whilst I exercised. I could no longer tolerate these heart rate dropouts, which were as low as 90 bpm after exhausting workouts, some lasting as long as two hours. The Polar OH1 armband seemed promising at first and was fairly accurate for a while, but then it kept showing readings (on the Polar Beat app.) between 90 to 100 bpm (despite repeated factory resets). These readings ought to have been between 140 and 150 bpm.
So I was very eager to purchase the new Polar Vantage M, primarily because Polar claimed that their new Fusion heart rate technology was very accurate and a big improvement over their previous technology used in their older products. Not so, at least, for me. All weekend, I tested the accuracy of its heart rate technology, or lack of it. The heart rate drop outs were just as bad as those I experienced with the M430s. I tried moving the Polar Vantage up and down my forearm, sometimes lower than my wrist bone, then in small incremements higher towards my elbow, as far as the last hole on the wrist strap would allow. The heart rate readings still fluctuated considerably throughout my workout, despite relaxing my wrist and maintaining the same level of exercise exertion. I tried loosening and tightening the watch at various points on my arm. No change in the rapidly and wildly fluctuating bpm readings, again, even as I kept the exercises at a constant rate and effort. Furthermore, I do not have any adverse heart conditions which might lead to inaccurate heart rate readings.
I am very disappointed, and I do not feel like talking about the other features of the watch because the so-called Fusion technology was my main reason for purchasing it. I would add that even during rest periods, i.e., just sitting down and stationary, the Polar Vantage bpm readings jumped rapidly up and down from 70 to 90 bpm. So no consistency there, either.
I do not intend to purchase any more heart rate watches. Polar products have put me off. (As for the Polar Scale, it works, but you can buy a body weight scale with similar specs for a fraction of the cost.) Instead, and considering that the Polar OH1 malfunctioned, I will now try another brand of heart rate straps which can be worn on the upper arm, such as the Scosche Rhythm, in the hope that it will prove more reliable than the Polar OH1 and provide accurate heart rate readings during exercise.
For those looking to buy this watch in order to obtain accurate heart rate readings during exercise, or even at rest, be prepared to be utterly disappointed. (Or, you may get lucky.)

Great replacement for my Polar M430, could be even better.
This is my third generation of Polar fitness watch, having previously used the M400 then M430 for the past four years. This is a great replacement and I am happy. However, a few improvements would make it even better:
- When I run or walk my heart rate accuracy isn't great, about 20-30bpm higher than registering on a heart rate belt worn at the same time. Curiously it is much more accurate when cycling.
- Enable ANT+ as Polar has already done on a couple of its belts; this would allow me to connect my Wattbike and HR belt to the watch whilst using Zwift.
- Pool swimming seems accurate but please reduce the minimum pool length - 20m isn't short enough.
But overall a really good watch.

So far a fantastic watch
Had this watch now for over a year. Battery lasts more than a few days even when tracking a sport activity for over 8hrs. Comfortable to wear, looks good and most importantly it is accurate. (I have compared this watch to my old Garmin and Old Polar watches with HRM, Accurate). So far does exactly what is says on the box.
Sport wise I have used this in the sea for swimming and windsurfing and definitely still works as it should. Love this watch.

Good HRM, great running programme, useful features.
Used for almost a month, the running programme has got me back into that, alongside weights. Lost 6% body fat during momth. The hr zones i auto calibrated and do seem about right, e.g i can run for relevant times in the different zones. Seen gains on fit test and running score over that time. No way of checking accuracy though as I don't have the chest strap. The online stuff is great too, with detailed feedback and editable sections, really useful for me as I can add weight, reps and sets onto the strength sessions. Only criticism I'd have is that the running programme sessions, that match up with fitspark sessions, do not have the same graphics on watch and instead you have to be near something to watch the video provided workout instead. I'd say you'd need to be able to use the online stuff alongside the watch to make the most of this one though.

Inaccurate Readings on Black Skin... But All Round Fantastic Watch Nonetheless!
In all fairness, I've not found a watch with OCG technology that gives me an accurate reading. More a fault on the technology not working as accurately on black skin more generally so I can't criticise Polar for that... It's just the way the technology is. But with an ECG chest strap, this was good to go.
But other than that, you can't fault this watch! It gets the job done, and Polar Flow has been so useful for me in improving my running fitness. All black looks stylish in all settings, I've worn this with my suit and it's very nice. Versatile no matter what I'm wearing.

I get it manly for swimming, unfortunately it doesn’t count the meters correctly ( I know what’s the length of the pool) some times it adds more ! Sometimes it count less, not sure how to fix this
Doesn’t sync automatically each time I need to pair it with the phone !! Don’t know whom should I reach to fix it

Nice watch
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 time. Also has a sleep meassurement.
Cons > The heart rate is not accurate. Really bad one. I was running at 4:00 per KM and my heart rate was 118 which is really very low. Also, you can not change the view of the sports. On RC3 GPS you could select what you want to see.
Anyway is a nice watch, but no accurate on the heart rate.

Will help you plan your training and keep you on track
This multisport watch does what it says in the tin.
Multiple modes allow you to track all sorts of training from running to swimming, walking to skiing.
The in-built training plan calculator lets you plan your training year in blocks to ensure you get the most out of your sessions.
Would recommend to any athlete from beginner to pro.

Vantage M - a happy user
I’ve been wearing my Vantage M daily since Christmas. The gps has been very good except for one ride which was miles out. The connection to speed and cadence sensors on my bike is reliable and stable - a must for me. Heart rate seems to be fine which is also important for me. The connection to a Wattbike is way off not a major issue and quite possibly the Watt bikes failing not the watch. In use the screen is easy to read and I have customised the views to suit my needs which is pretty straight forward to do. Polar flow is a very powerful analysis tool which I like a lot - I create sessions and put them in the diary so when I’m training I just follow the instruction from the watch - this has allowed me to take a spin class while Donna the work out myself - good use of my time

Amazing Features for the price
I love the Polar Vantage M. This is my first sports watch of any kind and I'm very pleased with it. It's comfortable to wear with amazing battery life. In terms of tracking, the data you get from the polar flow app is very insight. Being a professional athlete it has really helped me to see areas in my life where I can improve.
My one criticism, it doesn't pick up a high heart rate. I often hit 190+ bpm when training but the watch claims I'm only reaching 160bpm. Can easily be resolved by wearing the chest strap heart monitor that syncs with the watch.
Overall, I would throughly recommended this to anyone.

OHR very inconsistent
The watch is great but the OHR readings are very very inaccurate compared with the chest strap HRM. I have been in correspondence with Polar and they seem to be unaware of the problem. The H7 when bluetoothed to the watch is accurate but varies from the OHR which shows in some instances 40bpm higher. I am on my third replacement to see if it can be rectified..it hasn't and i am very disappointed and wouldn't recommend this watch if you are wanting to train and are just relying on the OHR. Polar are meant to be the world leader in OHR and they don't seem to be aware of this issue

Would recommend this watch to anyone for a fitness watch.
I spent a while deciding which watch to buy. I took the advice of a CrossFit athlete who tracks his workouts using the watch and H10 chest sensor.
I have been delighted with the watch. It is good for day to day tracking of HR. If it is something more intense then the watch is not accurate on its own. I pair the watch with the H10 and I can see what my heart is doing throughout my workout.

The brightness was something I noticed as a negative in other people’s reviews but it hasn’t been an issue at all.

Very happy with the purchase, just wish I had bought it the year before when it was £150 on Black Friday. Never came down to that price again.

excellent heart rate watch.
I really wanted to train in different heart rate zones for running and biking. I have paired this watch with the Polar sense for very accurate HR. the watch it self gives good HR readings when sleeping or gentle exercise but as with all HR watches, not so accurate when exercising heavily and moving around a lot. computer is excellent and easy to use once you've played with it for a few days. gives all the data i could possibly want without making too complicated.

Great bit of kit with excellent GPS
As a GPS HRM, it works really well, is very accurate against benchmarks & pre-determined maps, for cycling, running and OW Swimming. The only issue I've has with it to date is it isn't that accurate in a pool, missing a number of turns. It's able to recognise different strokes, but not always the turn a the end of a length. This provides flawed pool swim metrics. So for example, you swim an 800 in 12:00, it records a 725 in 12:00, very different pace... Is worse when doing back / breast strokes. Other than that, it's ace, and for 90% of what I do it's perfect, and I can live without putting pool workouts on Strava. There may be a future software upgrade that cures it, who knows. Think it's still better than any alternative under £500

Activity monitor is interesting.

Keep your M4xx watch
A big disappointment.
Compared to a M400, good improvements on battery, charging, and bracelet comfort, and the heart rate on wrist is good.
Sleep tracking is good, but sometimes doesn't detect the beginning, probably due to too much movement, as it records it later than in reality. Still gives you a good idea, and some extra stats.
On the negative, the GPS isn't much better, you don't get more screen real estate (still 4 measurements at the same time), the UI is bad (no rollover), and the buttons are the worst I've seen on a watch, smaller than the M400, and still recessed, so harder to press.
All added, not worth the upgrade from M4xx.
And if running is the priority, famous competitor is probably the better choice.
