Introduction

Congratulations on your new Polar M430!

The Polar M430 is a GPS running watch with wrist-based heart rate, Polar’s advanced training features and 24/7 activity tracking. The M430 gives you personalized guidance and feedback for training and daily activity to help you reach your goals. You will be able to track your running pace, distance, altitude and route with the compactly packed integrated GPS. When GPS is not available, your M430 tracks speed and distance from your wrist movements.

You don't need to wear a separate heart rate sensor; just enjoy running with the wrist-based heart rate measurement that’s always ready when you are.

With the 24/7 Activity tracking you can track the activities of your everyday life. See how they benefit your health, and get tips on how to reach your daily activity goal. And stay connected with smart notifications; get alerts to your M430 for incoming calls, messages and app activity on your phone.
