If that’s the case (but certainly not saying my choices aren’t good for women), and you just want to see a different gear junkies “picks”, check out The Girl’s 2018 Gear Guide too. The battery on the M430 lasts the claimed 8 hours, which should be enough for the vast majority of marathon runners, but most ultramarathons would be too long and the M430 can't be charged on the run easily. It is normally your non dominant arm. Intervall training = vibration alert easy not perceptible! It’s there that I was doing a bunch of video/etc shoots. Tracks indoor activity. I’ve used it for running, treadmill running, functional training, hiking, weightlifting, walking, and other activities. I think it is normal that the exact pod calibration will be difficult to achieve, especially when I calibrate it on steady sate run and do an interval next time. Ray, Strange but fact! Hi Nicola, Notifications do not come during the pulse measurement. I really want a 3rd party site compatible with Garmin & Polar as I want to be able to switch Brands and keep all my activities on one site. The M430 tracks swims (OWS) if you turn the GPS on, perhaps the accuracy could be improved a little in OWS, I found it a little all over the plce.

From there I’ll go out and get my own for the DCR stash from normal retail channels. My main complaint right now is that the battery life SUCKS. In fact, I’d even go as far as saying that I think at this point Polar may have the best wrist based optical HR sensor out there with the M430 across a multitude of sports for a mainstream GPS watch. Prior to that, hangs around 80 beats per minute. Was I wrong? This is the 4th time I have written to support about my m430. It’s odd because in the Polar Flow web version you can see the sleep/woke up timeframes marked, see: link to imgur.com. Pixel has issue with bluetooth which has been reported a while ago. Glad I’m not the only one with missing data. May well wait until M430 has 24×7 HRM, by which time the V830 may be here! I had some issues with LOOP2 sleep analysis in the past – missed some nights with no logical reasons. It was the first thing I thought of and adjusted it on the fly but it made things worse. If I reset my watch (any reset, factory reset, regular reset) it fixes the issue for about a day, then it returns.

I put in GPS tracking just for fun to see how it tracked as well. No problem, here's the platform I use - you can too! Can it be turned off? A big disappointment … m430 can not broadcast the signal to other devices. So I just have to have the GPS connect first and then turn on my Bluetooth headphones. A few quibbles here and there, primarily in the city and one in the trail. i cautioned them beforehand i might not be able to find a receipt, and was able to pull up the invoice from paypal, after spending 1.5 hours on the phone mostly on hold (good service aside from the holding time!). However, now with gyms closed I am doing more bike riding and hiking…and wanting the GPS function, but I cannot get the GPS to sync up. polar customer service was pretty excellent with the repair though! You can have between 2 and 4 data fields per screen. A ZERO out of five stars. – The convenience of optical HR is enormous for every day use

However I would hate to find out that Polar is not syncing with or without that firmware update to Pixel.

I’ve tested it against my M400/H78 combo, and the 2 seem to be fairly well aligned (just like Ray’s experience). That’s why I tend to judge each watch by its merits in actual real-world testing. A lot of statistics have accumulated. If you’re looking for an affordable watch that can do just about anything you need, all while looking very good, then this watch is definitely the one. In addition, it's worth noting that the Polar fitness test on the M430 only supports the optical sensor and won't work with an external chest strap. I am thinking about getting m430 I currently have the fitbit blaze which I love but I want to use my HR chest strap from my older polar watch while I exercise for more precise numbers. I have a lot of joint issues so cardio includes swimming, rowing, elliptical, and battle ropes. And the devices Polar still continue to count the steps in parallel training on a bicycle! Now that’s pretty much a crap-show in the beginning. I still have almost decided to go for the M430. When it comes to battery life, the Polar M430 multi-sport doesn’t just excel, it practically crushes the competition. They get it wrong now and again. I got my Polar last Friday and as I was setting it up it run firmware update. First real workout in and it handled my interval training time on a Precor elliptical well enough. In 1) and 2) I’m referencing the Polar Flow web desktop browser view.

There are basically no restrictions when it comes to activities for which you can use this watch. VA HR has several features the Polar lacks — indoor swimming for one, battery life. 24×7 HR coming this Q3 2017: Currently the unit doesn’t record 24×7 HR, rather, only workout HR. If you kept on running in a high HR zone it would then repeatedly vibrate as your HR would be too high. ECG based HR is rock solid. Generally I like it and it has proved reliable once an issue with cracking buttons was sorted out under warranty a while ago (and shame about synching to Strava which is a bit of a faff). I do a lot of indoor cycling. I like the idea of a Samsung watch, however, it doesn’t look to be accurate from your review. Michal, good to hear you joined the Polar family! I know that number by heart so all I need is for the thing to display actual heart rate and I’m good to go. 10. Hi I had the horrible syncing/data issues but they sorted themselves out. Do not rely on this info only.

So now question is : when will the V800 be updated with this new (and nice) OHR + wifi + follow me + all other “new” functionalities found on 935 / F5 ? Thank you so much for the great review! There will, of course, be outliers whose wrists are either too small or too large for the watch, but the vast majority of athletes should have no problem fitting their wrists inside of this multi-sport watch.

I am looking for a free site to keep my basic running data for now. Same as others, I can’t get more than 4-5 hours of workout in before I hit the “1 Hour left in this session” message. In one consolidated list, here we go: Added optical HR sensor: Polar believes this 6-LED sensor is their most accurate to date FWIW I am using a Google Pixel phone running Android 7.1. I have weedy wrists but it I find it pretty comfortable. The Sleep Plus intelligent sleep system debuted on Polar's A370 fitness tracker and now the Polar M400 successor will support the new sleep tracking feature that promises to detect sleep duration, timing and quality of sleep based on position and wrist movements.

Many thanks! How will the gps on the M430 fair with clothes on? These structured workouts allow you to build out specific goals for given portions of the workout. After a sync I ended up with a few basic sport profiles. This is notable when looking at watches from companies like Fitbit, who often restricts notifications arbitrarily to just call/native text/calendar (it’s one of my biggest pet peeves, and I’m going to keep hammering them at every chance I get until they darn well change it). And no sleep date recorded for that night. Maybe I’m not looking well enough? Since Christmas the band surrounding the watch face has pulled away to the extent that it catches on everything and looks unsightly and cheap (it appears the band pins are the only thing keeping it together).

Quick menu in training view has current GPS location co-ordinates. It’s important to note that the M430 simply doesn’t have an openwater swim mode. Though, Clever Training also ships there too and you get the 10% discount. This includes things like changing the data fields and zone overlays. The v800 looks nicer, not unimportant for al Day wearing. 2) was an oddity that wasn’t immediately obvious but if I ran with my son and his Garmin and we both paused at a road crossing, his timestamp GPS data would show the pause, whereas mine wouldn’t – even if we finished the run together it looked like I finished before him when looking at the timestamps (even though the run stats were the same). Sometimes I do have to wait a min to 5 min when it’s really bad and have to stay very still. Both procedures are detailed here: link to support.polar.com. I use strava too. I didn’t do any comparative data plots for that unfortunately.

I would primarily be using either watch for both running and also rowing, (both indoor and outdoor). I wrote my (honest) review with the video which shows the problem and compares optical measuring HR and strap measuring HR. I do some hill-walking in the UK, up to 9 hours duration, but not extreme like you. I have considered getting a dedicated swim tracker and something else for all the other activities. e.g. (-: How can I switch it of when riding? The first workout we’ve got is a bit of a run on June 8th with some intensity variability in it. Many readers stumble into my website in search of information on the latest and greatest sports tech products. They are shown in chronologial order and the accuracy seems to get better somehow? I presume you want the HR data? And then I just replied to a customer service employee and reminded him – how clever was a Backlight function implemented in their RCX5 watch…. Yes. It just takes a reading of your HR every so often afaik. Maybe its successor can. Again, remember you can create your own comparison charts here. Although the strap can be a little looser when not exercising it should not be too loose. An older iPhone 6 that had some BT issues, but it has BT issues with every device I use (hardware issue), and then a newer iPhone 7. You state that it does track HR during swimming. That is an exorbitantly low price when you consider all of the features that Polar has packed into this watch, whether that’s in terms of how it tracks your data, how it sends that data wirelessly to your other devices, or even how it looks. In this test, I was comparing it against a Fenix 5 on the other wrist, and a Fenix 3 being hand-held to gather HR strap data. i have read on my polar RCX5 212 heart rate 212 this summer and my age is 50, what does this possibly mean? elite in age group i presume, btw. That is really strange. By the way, the optical sensor is not as good as here in the review is painted. There are many smart watches that barely get to the evening…. Hmm, definitely seems like some sort of bug – though honestly not sure where the origination of the bug is. What 3rd party running sites sync best with Polar Flow. There, too, there are problems. Do you see Sleep time and Actual sleep data on the M430 screen for these days that are missing in the WEB service? It is really worth getting a better estimate of your LTHR to set up your zones or you may not be benefitting optimally from your training. I once owned a Garmin Forerunner 935 which can do this, maybe also some of the cheaper Gamin watches can.
