Polar Vantage V

The Draw: All-in-one smartwatch with cutting-edge hardware

New perk! Get after it with local recommendations just for you. Discover nearby events, routes out your door, and hidden gems when you sign up for the Local Running Drop.

A long-awaited update to the Polar line, the Vantage V features a super-accurate (wrist-based) four-way heart-rate sensor, unbelievable analytics, and built-in running cadence and running power (accuracy is hit-or-miss here). The post-workout stats are excellent, and Polar’s built-in coaching software is impressive, but the biggest weakness at writing is the lack of smartphone notifications and a few software bugs—updates are promised.
