Introduction

Congratulations on your new Polar Vantage V!

The Polar Vantage V is a premium GPS multisport watch for multisport and triathlon training with Polar Precision Prime sensor™ fusion technology for accurate wrist-based heart rate monitoring even in the most demanding conditions. The watch is packed with tools that help you break your records and reach your goals: Reach the ideal amount of training to perform at your very best with Training Load Pro which gives you a holistic view on how your training sessions strain the different systems of your body and how it affects your performance. The unique recovery solution Recovery Pro helps you prevent overtraining and injuries. It measures how recovered your body is and offers you recovery feedback and guidance.

Polar Vantage V is the first multisport watch to measure running power from the wrist. Running power is a great complement to heart rate monitoring – it helps you monitor the external load of your running. Monitor your running progress with the advanced running features, such as Running Index and Running Programs. Choose your favorite sports from 130+ options and customize settings for each sport.

The Continuous heart rate feature measures your heart rate around the clock. Together with 24/7 Activity tracking it gives you a complete overview of all your daily activity.

With Vantage V you can choose to use Recovery Pro or Nightly Recharge for recovery tracking, whichever suits you and your goals best. The unique recovery solution Recovery Pro helps you prevent overtraining and injuries. It measures how recovered your body is and offers you recovery feedback and guidance. Nightly Recharge™ is an overnight recovery measurement that shows you how well you recover from the demands of your day. The Sleep Plus Stages™ sleep tracking monitors your sleep stages (REM, light and deep sleep) and gives you sleep feedback and a numerical sleep score. The watch helps you relax and relieve stress with the Serene™ guided breathing exercise.

We are continuously developing our products for better user experience.
