Vantage M3

I’ve gone through two phases with my Polar Vantage M3: Cycle 1 – The data scientist phase: I used to track everything: sleep, recovery, tests — you name it. I was marathon training and obsessed with numbers. It quickly became too much: I even felt anxious about getting a “good sleep score.” My famil

Polar is the most pro-eu company on activity watches. Withings would be an alternative, but I'm not sure if their products would fit your needs. I own a garmin FR 265 and my partner a polar vantage m3. I bought mine after my previous Garmin 255 had its GPS breaking down and got a full refund. Spec-w

Sleep tracking is very good and reliable, I almost never loose a night's sleep data and the associated ANS data. What's cool with Polar is the sensor is basically the same from the Vantage range and up. So you can get a Vantage M3 and you get the same performance as a Grit X2 Pro... what changes is

What I can share is some of the extensive research I did, and maybe this information + other users' comments

I moved from Garmin to a Polar Vantage M3. It’s bit as good at general day to day health tracking, but I’ve loved the sleep and recovery tracking. Just wish I got the grit x2 instead

The Vantage M3 is absolutely marvelous. Fantastic GPS, screen, battery life, and heart rate accuracy. I also trust Polar more because they publish studies on their algorithms.

I haven't gone very deep into this myself but on the Vantage M3 there are 2 recovery systems, and you can only use one: https://support.polar.com/en/recovery-pro-or-nightly-recharge-which-is-the-right-one-for-me#Vantage_M3&vantage-m3 Recovery Pro: Uses tests (orthostatic test which uses HR and HRV,

It’s not within your price range but I am really happy with my polar vantage m3 as the successor to my broken Apple Watch. A key benefit for me is that it does not try to heavily integrate with the phone, tracks sleep and workouts and I was able to download high quality maps to the watch so it’s rea
