- Smart and accurate monitoring of training sessions as well as the smallest activities in your everyday life, thanks to an integrated activity tracker. Now every movement is registered, from your toughest workout, to a walk up the stairs. The Polar V800 tracks every activity, even when you are not training, and it will automatically adjust your recovery status to give a true account of how much rest you get in between hard sessions.
- Instant analysis and in-depth insights into all your training and recovery on the Polar V800 when used with the Polar Flow web service. The Polar Flow mobile app connects seamlessly with the Polar V800, synching the data gathered instantly with the Polar Flow web service to provide a full picture of all the data you need to train properly. Polar Flow also connects you to a community of similarly minded athletes and friends through its social functionality.
- The Polar V800 also offers a host of other unique features that makes it stand out. It records your heart rate even while swimming – making it perfect for triathletes – and includes the most accurate altitude readings with a built-in barometric pressure sensor. It has a high-contrast black and white display which is optimized for different sports. The screen is easy to read, even in low-light conditions, and is very power efficient. This contributes to the excellent overall battery life of the rechargeable Polar V800, which offers up to 14 hours of training time, 50 hours in low power GPS mode, or 30 days in time mode with 24/7 activity monitoring.
Polar V800 also provides Running Index data on your aerobic fitness and running economy, as well as an Orthostatic Test to help you avoid over-training by gaining insight into recovery status over a long period of time. You can access four weeks of your training history at the touch of a button and can also share your Polar Flow data with your coach.
The Polar V800 is made for the most demanding of sports and features a large, scratch-resistant, Gorilla Glass face, similar to that used on the most advanced smartphones. This is set in stainless steel with an aluminum core and soft, breathable polyurethane straps. It’s a combination of strength, lightness, style and comfort.
Additionally, the Polar V800 features updatable software which will allow users to add new features from the comfort of their own home. This will include a power monitoring function for serious cyclists, which will be available in the middle of 2014 to be used in conjunction with new Bluetooth Smart power pedals. The wireless connection to a smartphone creates the possibility for further features, such as SMS notification and music control, which will be added as updates later in 2014.
