Don’t forget you now get AUDIBLE alerts which the Vantage M does not have. 8/10 Strava Live Segments – works well, especially on longer segments, but limited for cycling by the small screen size.Ĭomparing to the lower Vantage M model, you get EVERYTHING that the Vantage M offers plus Polar’s own running power, plus STRAVA Live segments, barometric altimeter plus basic route guidance.9/10 Polar Flow planning and analysis platform.There is no SpO2/blood oxygen sensor which is no big deal. 7/10 The low-powered GPS chip is still from Sony and you still have the onboard barometric altimeter (VV) plus a new, improved optical HR sensor.8/10 Naturally, you get many “lesser features” such as all the relaxation stuff ( Serene), steps, inactivity alerts, smartphone notifications etc.It really is good BUT suits athletes completing only 5 hours/week of training (max, approx).
