Everything I need in one device
I'm planning a half marathon later in the year, I wanted a device that could help me train for the race, this ticked all the boxes. I set up the watch by syncing it with the Polar Flow app, when online I was able to set up a training program for the half marathon. I entered the date for my race and then my diary within the app was populated with different exercises and running goals. Some of the days were not convenient for training but I was able to move those sessions to other days.
Before starting a session, you find the corresponding exercise in the watch and hit a button to start recording. WIth the Vantage you get a colour screen dispaly that shows you feedback on your heart rate, pace, distance etc, but I found that the dispaly can be customised to suit your needs, so when running I just have the heart rate zones showing so I know which zone I should be in to get the most out of my session. I don't like running in my glasses, and with my previous watch I struggled to see the display, but this is not an issue with the Vantage. Once you've finished you stop the recording and then sync the watch with the app. The level of detail and feedback within the app is great, and I can already see via the feedback analysis that I'm getting fitter as my predicted finish time is getting better. I can see even more detail by going into my Polar flow account online on my laptop, the re-live feature is particulary nice.
Some of the exercises in my diary are stretching or body resistance routines, for those I get to follow a video of a person demonstrating the exercises via the app, so I can follow in real time ensuring I get the correct form and timing -it's like having your own personal trainer in your phone.
I don't just enjoy running though, I like walking, swimming, bike riding and hiking too. The watch stores 20 different sport profiles, but there are many more to choose from within the app, I'd say over 100, but I've not tried counting them all yet.
I'm really enjoying all the features and with the recent software update I got a few more. Hopefully the training will keep me on track for a persoanl best in my half marathon.

Does the job. But more negatives than positives
I’ve been wearing this watch for 5 months now. For most of that time I was still very much on the fence about it. But i think I’ve just come to terms with the fact this is what the watch is like.
I’m still very apprehensive about the continuous HR tracking and will always exercise with the HR monitor that you can buy extra. I do not pay attention to total calories burned really because I just don’t really understand how they’re working that out. Because it gets to a very high number. Obviously not all is active calories but I feel it would be much better to be like the Apple Watch regarding active and non active calories.
The sleep tracking is also not particularly accurate. Which I know from nights where it has taken me a while to get to sleep and I’ve looked at the time. The next day my sleep data said I was deep asleep when I was in fact very wide awake at that time.
The ANS charge also goes through phases where it just won’t work, the longest being 4/5 consecutive nights.
The battery is very good. But keep in mind if you’re wearing it for long treks 10 hours or so the battery will be rinsed and only last about 2 days.
I enjoy the way it records activities and the lay out for runs is good. My friend has a garmin and she much preferred the lay out to the polar.
I also don’t like the cardio load which tells you if you are maintaining or detraining etc. Sometimes you can miss one day after training solidly and it tells you you’re detraining. Which seems odd to me. And a bit unfair sometimes!! It’s almost promoting sort of ridiculous training just to be productive which may not be healthy for some people. I feel if you’ve suffered with disordered eating/over training/orthorexia, I wouldn’t recommend the watch.
Part of me wishes I just got an Apple Watch. But then I hear about the awful battery and it doesn’t track sleep. So part of me doesn’t. Sometimes I’m happy with this watch, sometimes I’m not.
I feel there is better out there but for the time being this is doing the job as I mainly just want it for recording exercises and steps etc.
Not sure it’s worth the price tag however with all the negatives/problems stated above. I thought I did my research but guess you never really know till you buy and wear for a period of time.

Good watch with few small flows
Upgrade from brilliant M400 only because the battery died after 6 years.
Have a few mixed feelings.
Positives:
- nice design with copper colour
- quick set up
- accurate on distance and map
- many options and features
- very good battery, with 24/7 HR off last for about week with 5 (8hrs) sessions
- quickly finding a GPS signal
- possibility of personalising screens for sessions are brilliant
- HR monitor accurate
Negatives:
- Down button doesn’t want to work randomly
- sync random problems, have to restart watch few times to connect it back to iPhone 11, just can’t see each other on occasions
- sometimes screen spontaneously skips to different sports when trying to turn on the training
- digits could be more apparent, M400 had much bigger and readable
- on the lap summary can’t see the average pace for the lap
- no option for personalisation of the lap summary screen
Watch, Polar Flow app & iPhone are always up to date.
Tried twice hard reset for above issues but remains.

Display problems
The display is only visible in strong light.
The HRM in good for walking but not cycling.
Can be coupled to H10 chest strap that should give accurate HR.

OK
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. I quite like the design of the watch as well, which I think looks quite sleek compared with some of the garmin ones, which swung me towards polar when buying. In terms of the accuracy, I tend to use a HR monitor when I'm trying to stick to a zone for training, so haven't noticed a massive issue with accuracy as when just using the watch I'm OK with being given a more general idea of where my HR is.
However, I've had a few issues with the watch syncing with the app to download data - it can take a few attempts to get the watch to even start syncing, and then a really long time (over half an hour) for the watch to sync and data to show up on my phone. I've also had an issue with some sessions going missing, especially when the battery gets a little low. I also find using the watch can be a bit clunky - it doesn't automatically recognise when you're training and remembering to start and stop the watch can be a bit annoying. I was also a bit disappointed with the recovery data - it seems to give you more general feedback than I was expecting, as I know some other watches give you specific estimated recovery advice which I would have liked.
I've preciously had a fitbit charge, but aside from that have nothing to compare this to really, so not massively disappointed as this is my first 'expensive' sports watch, but will probably look for something different in the future.

Lightweight, compact, simple. Great addition to training and maintaining fitness..!
My background is I play Hockey on a regular basis with a club, and this year really got into running having done my first half marathon in October with a time of 1hr21. I'd just been using RunKeeper App for a rough guidance for a training regime in combination with Strava on my phone.
Having seen my friends/colleagues using GPS watches for their activities and curious to see if it will make my training life easier, I was having a look around and decided to try this Polar Vantage M. So unfortunately I have no other predecessors or other brands to compare it to but so far, having used it for around a month, I am very happy with it!
What's new to my training is the Polar Flow and the Personal Training regime it offers with videos as well as being able to analyze my daily activities with the heart rate monitoring. The way it assesses your training load is great and keeps you motivated to try and maintain your fitness. It even has a Field Hockey tracking mode!! It's light weight, compact and I happily wear it with some wrist sweatband coverage (for protection) when I play Hockey and seems to do a great job.
I have noted the other reviews comparing it to other GPS watches. However I can say, here is one happy customer who is hopefully utilizing it's potential to the max. Not hugely fancy but I feel it's ticked all my boxes.

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.

Disappointed
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.

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.
