good reliability and consistency of measurements for swimming
functionality is capable of improvement through a software update
it is reasonably accurate
conserve battery life more efficiently

the display in training
Everything works perfectly
automatic tracking of sleep is an important feature to keep track of your nightly recovery
well-thought-out and stylish training watch
comfortable enough and is certainly robust
Views are customisable and sessions are easy to add to your diary manually

Backlight always comes on with wrist turn
the watch is not ANT+ compatible
gps on polar is worse
Unable to view on iOS app
Vantage doesn t not have sunrise/sunset or storm alarms
backlight fires up when you turn your wrist but not
no way to customize the screen or light settings
Square screens can cause discomfort during wrist movements
others will not be implemented in principle and that is a pity
Vibration alerts are not very powerful
the Polar does not use this system for its Vantage
You have to jump to the back buttons
The lighting of the lift at night is also a little dim
Garmin screens in exercise mode are considerably more visible pretty much across the line
just too big and clunky to sleep comfortably
You cannot edit or change the watch faces
currently no training plans based upon power that sync to a GPS or smartwatch
you cannot customize the training displays on the watch itself
No phone notifications as of yet
many buttons and the touchscreen can be overwhelming and confusing at times
Controlling the watch can be a bit confusing at first
Its screen is also quite dim with thin digits
V800 a bit clunky
stretches are not show stoppers for this fine watch
planned load is too high
the measurement at the wrist cannot be switched off either
power values are only as good as the quality of the GPS signal
not available at all in the tunnel and on the treadmill
no release date is on the horizon
Too many are simply trying to capitalize on affiliate revenue
Very dim screen with no current ability to reverse to dark digits on white background
none of this tech is a requirement
No one in their right mind would be a Garmin upon it s release
fairly slow on bt and cable
lack of maps in comparison to Garmin as I m hiking
it suffers from the same deficiencies as the Galaxy Watch
watchband is not quick-change nor a standard 22mm
doesn't have an always-on display
want a touch screen only interface
digital and analog
t do apps or pay for stuff or even play music
it lacks the range of running dynamics compared to Garmin
Vantage V doesn t wear too big or heavy on the wrist
Apple is kicking
this bad-boy is definitely overkill
OLED display consumes a lot of power and is not very readable in bright sunlight
not always as intuitive as it could be
signal could be patchy
an extra accessory and not available in a bundle
no mapping
or terrain data shown
time spent in a higher zone is not being recorded
rolled it out to many running stores yet
fat utilization to be a little higher

Polar Vantage V review: Advanced technology and coaching help athletes achieve their best

4.2

The Polar Vantage V is an excellent multi-sport GPS watch that is made better by the Polar Flow platform and coaching provided after data is collected and analyzed. Wrist-based power is new to the watch and hopefully future updates will expand its usefulness, but there is still plenty to love right now.
