Reviews around tool (5.00 of 5)

  • Almost a month using the v800 and is just an amazing tool for multisport and triathletes
  • WOW, this is a great tool for anyone who likes information on your progress and overall fitness, still working my way thru all the features and functions, really impressed with the H7 heart rate sensor and the Stride Sensor, so far I have not had any issues with the operation of the V800
  • You must also need to see how important and useful is the PolarFlow as a tool to evaluate your daily activity, training and performance in time
  • An excellent training tool, with great depth in "phone" apps and server side flow app.

Reviews around polar (4.42 of 5)

  • Neither watch will slip off by mistake, but the Polar is probably the more secure of the two
  • Undecided as to which one I will use after I get up in the morning
  • It came down to the fact that the Polar was more intuitive to use, and felt like a more finished product, while the Garmin felt a bit like a kludge in comparison
  • I truly hope Polar will make this available ASAP with a future release as for the
  • The Polar also looks damn nice - with it's stainless steel and gorilla glass, whereas the Garmin looks very

Reviews around way (4.03 of 5)

  • The HR monitor in the water appears to be accurate as well as when I'm cycling
  • Undecided as to which one I will use after I get up in the morning
  • Once you do this, you discover that the navigation on the V800 is actually better than on the FR920XT, with arrows indicating upcoming turns, and a very intuitive way of presenting the information
  • and I love the metrics and the way it keeps track of your sessions
  • WOW, this is a great tool for anyone who likes information on your progress and overall fitness, still working my way thru all the features and functions, really impressed with the H7 heart rate sensor and the Stride Sensor, so far I have not had any issues with the operation of the V800

Reviews around product (3.86 of 5)

  • Excellent product performance, but warranty repairs leave a lot to be desired
  • Great product just what I was needing to get me focused on getting into shape again
  • For how expensive this product is, I would think they would have integrated the wrist heart rate monitor.
  • I have tried to like this product ,but it way too bulky for my

Reviews around feature (3.78 of 5)

  • It feels more comfortable, less bulky, and not as heavy as the V800 before the 2016 version!I very highly recommend THIS Polar V800 sports watch for those who want the most reliable dependable customixable feature rich sports watch currently available.

Reviews around device (3.68 of 5)

  • Overall this watch is one of the best devices I've ever owned
  • It does seem like they plan on supporting it for quite a while so though its expensive I still feel like it's worth it.
  • I have an Android Samsung Galaxy S5 and I followed every step possible to connect my V800 to my phone, but all it says is that 'no device found' and 'connection failed'.

Reviews around battery life (3.61 of 5)

  • The battery life is great, it usually charges enough when i sync my workouts
  • It does seem like they plan on supporting it for quite a while so though its expensive I still feel like it's worth it.

Reviews around v800 (3.58 of 5)

  • I had to return the first V800 because the wrist strap broke in an unusual circumstance and the replacement strap was not sent in a reasonable amount of time
  • But the V800 is perfect for what I need, I hope Polar replace my band soon.
  • Disappointing watch, I have been a Polar fan for more than 10 years, unfortunately the V800 is clearly inferior to the 920xt even to the 910xt
  • The Polar V800 feels like a solid product and not some lightweight plastic junk
  • I still love the V800, especially the new red color, but I don't like the materials they use on their bands.

Reviews around train (3.50 of 5)

  • If you are looking for robust training gear you may get disappointed.
  • This is the absolute worst training watch I have ever used and infuriates me to no end
  • An excellent training tool, with great depth in "phone" apps and server side flow app.
  • Even if I have a bad workout V800 usually says the benefit of the workout was "basic training" with a quick description that never has judgement.
  • The HR monitor in the water appears to be accurate as well as when I'm cycling

Reviews around thing (3.00 of 5)

  • Another thing I, and this is extremely personal, like is that the watch is a lot thinner than other brands
  • Upon arrival I opened this thing up and the initial presentation did not disappoint
  • Having said all of those NEGATIVE things about the "watch" side of things, let me tell you some of the AMAZING POSITIVE things about the fitness tracker:Once you tell it your age, it will know what your ideal heartrate zones are for when you're working out
  • I don’t trust a product when the first thing I notice is it’s broken
  • Sad thing is that your products are awesome and have helped me lose 45 lbs after being sick for several years

Reviews around lot (1.54 of 5)

  • It is an awful lot of trouble given what I want from it
  • and hrm watched I've ever owned though it's still improving a lot of promides features they're really working in it!!
  • A lot of people complain about loosing sync between their phone and watch
  • This one has a lot of fancy bells and whistles and useful - maybe useless to some - data for analyzing progress

Reviews around bluetooth (1.00 of 5)

  • The bluetooth gets confused and will freeze the watch
  • I downloaded the Polar app to synch and it won't synch to the app via bluetooth (a known issue apparently by reviewers in app store).
  • "Sync failed!"*The most annoying issue with this device is the unreliable Bluetooth functionality
