Hey folks – thanks for watching! Don't forget to check out my huge post with tons more details and plenty of data too! https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2018/09/the-new-polar-vantage-series-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know.html
my friend you speak TOO fast. Slow it down a little please.
Hello
Thanks very much for this. Did you manage to retest after the non beta version was released.
Hello, thanks first for your detailed videos. I want to know what would be better for newcomers Garmin Forerunner 945 or the Polar Vantage V
Any update on this video done ?
SUUNTO 9 or POLAR Vantage V?
So as from July 2019 are there any good news for Vantage M, regarding to:
– GPS accuracy;
– Navigation;
– Sound alarms.
Thanks!
I still cannot decide between the Vantage M and the Garmin 245. ??
so, did you do a full review?
Bought vantage M after my fenix 5s died, first ride today and elevation is higher than normal (1400 instead of 1000) surely lacks barometer, and the interface and mobile app are lackluster unfortunately
Hey guys! Can any user of this watch answer please how this watch performs now after all that updates in measuring distanse and instant pace? Is it stable during normal easy and steady runs or the actual pace is going crazy like 40secs up and down each second?
Great Video!
Did they improve the GPS-Issues you explained at 17:40?
How is the battery life? How many days if gps is off?
Do I need a pc/laptop to transfer my workouts to it? Or will it upload to an app or strava. I only have an iPad so might be stuck for any hard wired connectivity.
Everyone focused on anything else but what about pace and distance ? Are those accurate and consistent?
It is a beautiful watch but no storage for offline music… Who doesn't listen to music while working out… Dealbreaker..
Can you text on these
I wish the M600 had as many buttons. It's pain when swimming or tired.
Sorry hate dead screens.
Always love always on so love Garmin for this fact. It's a good compromise for battery length and always on display.
I remember the first ever led watches were dead screen and needed to press a button to see the time, like apple, Fitbit, etc were dead screens.
Why are we going back into the past when we can have long battery life with always on screens like garmin or e ink displays?
The ultimate is using real hands with OLED screens, etc, there are some put there.
Withings sport hr for example, get many weeks on one charge, beating all the other fitness watches and a good hr also. I have one, and charge it once for every 3 charges of my Garmin.
I know garmin has the vivomove with real hands, almost the perfect combination of real hands and OLED display, but not so hot battery life and had issues with hands getting out of sync.
But always on screens, or hands are always better than a dead watch face, that you need to press a button, or flick your wrist.
1:21 But polar invented wrist heart rate measuring!
Polar Vantage M vs Vivoactive 3 comparison would be great.
When you've activated and started a workout profile, can you still make use of the count down timer without having to stop your activity?
You get a like for this indepth review. Wish the would but message back or talk future like a smart watch but it's ok. Would be awesome do!
Dude, your full review is the best and most complete of all. Got what I needed, which was to know about the gps tracking, navigation and preloaded routes in the vantage (which it doesnt have). Thanks for the full table of function comparison, have a follow and the like.
Have you heard Polars endevors to utilize ant+ tech into their hardware range? heard as a fact that they are testing HR band with ant+…
Are you sure the yellow/red LEDs are not for SPO2?
Hi,
Does anyone know good smartwatch for hiking and running in normal price range (not Garmin Fenix 5 price range)? I just need .gpx support and custom running workouts like in mobile apps… I still haven't found the watch even close to Android phone functionality. Fenix 5 included…
30 hours in GPS + Heart Rate tracking mode in the Vantage M! This should be a front and center feature. With the screen, while in activity mode (during a run), could you change the background to white with black letters?
Is the screen always on display, or does it turn on with the flip of wrist?
Honestly, Vantage M is absolute not recommended. AT least in current state it is. So many bugs in the sofware, it is not even a beta version. I wait for the software update in february till then switch back to V800.
Full of it ?? propa said DC love your vids & details reviews for years ?
I'm not sure if I should get the Vantage M or the M430.. I run on track and I want to know the exact pace/min/km. The Vantage M just looks so much better.. What do you think at this point? Lovely videos btw and merry christmas!
Great review. So what’s wrong with the Sony/Suunto GPS?
I have had hard time deciding whether to go for wrist or chest band heart rate monitor, both have their pros pro's and cons.. If this device delivers both, I am interested, then I can choose to leave the wrist piece in gym bag and wear only the chest band in certain kind of exercises.
Hi DC Rainmaker are you going to be doing another review since it should be up and running properly now? Just wondered if they have sorted out the Problems with it. Also do you do a vs with garmin 935?
