The most appealing aspects for me on Polar Vantage series is that you can have a good estimate of your body condition/recovery status without having to wear the watch over night. Adding that to the running program makes it my go-to. Still wished sometimes to have that music/podcasts with me on long runs without having to bring my phone, but it looks like is not happening any time soon. Great overview!

The HR spikes actually took a while on my Grit X. My initial review I stated that it was the "best HR sensor I've ever tested" and then I had to eat my words when I started getting spikes haha. They're minor, and generally the HR data is still really good.

Accuracy wise? Probably a bit better in GPS and a smidge better in HR. It kind of depends what you care about. The Fenix 6 has far more features than the VV2. The VV2 has better training tools and is a bit more accurate. Hope that helps.

Unfortunately It takes several weeks of doing the Leg Recovery test before it will give you accurate results so I'll continue to use it report back with what I think about it. In terms of the "Running Fitness Test" I thought it was pretty comparable to the V02 Max I get from my Garmin's so that's good. Another cool perk about the running test is that it will also give you Running Power zones based on your performance. Thanks for watching!

I sent them feedback earlier this year on the music controls 😅 Apparently they are sticking with this software base so I doubt Polar watches will be getting much more smarts than they have now as it'll always be up to them developing it on their own and unless the company takes a massive growth leap, doubt they'll have the resources. The focus of Polar seems to be on producing maximum value on the data the watch gathers. Same on the design, guessing they are saving money on production not varying the design too much. Btw, Polar had the jump test years ago, think it required a separate sensor.

I would love to see them overhaul the user interface and launch some kind of SDK open developer platform for third party deleopers similar to Garmin Connect.

Female small wrist and debating between the grit and V2. Is the grit much thicker? V2 does look smaller..
@ChaseTheSummit 3 жыл бұрын
The V2 "feels" smaller and because the strap is kind of contoured it rides a bit sleeker on the wrist. The Vantage V2 is also a teeny bit thinner. Overall it's still a relatively large watch but it feels smaller than the numbers imply... Does that make sense? Thanks for watching!

Hah, I guess you're right. Thing is, it's hard for me to say if it's a good fit for you. I the VV2 is a really nice watch and as a whole the Polar Flow platform is great for people who actually use the training tools and suggested workouts from their watch. At $500 there's a lot of competition though and the competition has a lot of features like Mapping, Music, Contactless Pay, etc... that the VV2 simply doesn't have. If you can make use of the "tests" and training tools of the VV2 it might be a good pick!

Power would be roughly based on Pace but not entirely since elevation is also taken into account and in the Stryd's actual foot motion.

Chase the Summit you’re right but i guess your are a good runner with reduced vertical movment so were mainly talking about kinetic energy. And this one is based on verlocity. of course In total it is a mixture of complex movements resulting in power. To evaluate gps i think it is important to do a differential analysis. Speed. That s why i am interested in an comparison of Power and Speed of Vantage V (or gritX) and V2 of the same run in the same plot. I expect them to correlate.

@@ChaseTheSummit Well it's a long story, Polar Vantage V is my third Polar watch, the first RS800CX was a very good gadget and I changed it because I wanted to; then I bought myself a Polar RCX5 (the best and most expensive Polar device at the time), it was very accurate in tracking heart rate and with GPS (Polar G5) and the maps on the polarpersonaltrainer web were very good, it was simple but very good, and I completed the kit with a Polar Stride S3 + (an excellent stride sensor), then Polar decided to no longer support its web (polarpersonaltrainer) so the only solution they could give was to buy a new polar device to be able to upload our trainings on your new website "Polar Flow" (It is a very good platform by the way), this was in 2.019; Last year I made a huge effort to buy "the best Polar watch" at that time Polar Vantage V; but I found the metrics to be weird: heart rate has a lot of strange spikes, polar power sometimes loses signal and the graph shows 0 (zero) watts, and the maps on the app or the web are terrible (just running or walking), when you ride a bike they are good, so I guess it is the stroke. The design is beautiful, the construction materials are excellent, but it is a very expensive watch for those characteristics; At that time I was able to get a Garmin 945, and at this moment I regret not having done it, at this moment I cannot. Nothing guarantees that Polar will not do the same, selling an incomplete watch (quite expensive) or leaving many customers out just to sell a little more. In this case it is a quality issue.
