I have Vantage V2 and Polar Loop I really like the combination. Things I did notice: Have to manually switch between devices in Polar Flow(?), but it stores the data, at least for a few days. Iirc used to auto switch between devices(?) If I wear the Loop to sleep instead the V2 I won't get the sport

I prefer the orthostatic tbh My main gripe with it is putting on the belt then lying down, then standing up and standing there while still sleepy, and doing this routinely , I don't like it nagging me in the morning So that is the main reason I don't do the test in the mornings, but you can still ma

I’ve been using a Vantage V2 for about 3yrs originally for mtb and now for running as well. I’ve been using it and a HR10 for serious fitness /running tracking and found the combination good. I’ve been using the Polar running program (including the FitSpark exercises) and adding in my own workouts.

I prefer Polar Loop tbh. Have Fenix 7, Vivoactive 5, and Vantage V2 I use the Vivoactive 5 (2nd hand) in bicep strap when wearing the V2, and the Loop when wearing the Fenix 7 Prefer the look of the Loop and what it does, however in combination with a watch I see no need for a Circa tbh, and the Fen

Evolutionary can be fine I like the way where Polar is headed, when actually I counted them out before One reason I am using Garmin less, the constant expansion of (buggy) stuff. I actually went back to a Polar Vantage V2, because it just works in a way I like. I don't want microphone, speaker, able

I’ve been pleasantly ok with the build quality of my apex 2 pro compared to my epix 2. I see why people like 5 buttons but even then my polar vantage v2 allowed for better (for me) button usage, but never felt significantly affected by the buttons. Tbh, there is only a few features that make me use

Yeah, one reason I got the Vantage V2 instead the V3, was because I like the sensor more, i tried multiple new Polars, but had concerns about the HR sensor Having said that for any kind of excercise I use(d) H10 or now Polar Verity Sense. Used Garmin HR straps in the past, and they were fine too. Fe

Polar vantage V2 when it first came out. This is a EU/UK problem. They closed the service centres down and you couldn't post them or anything.

I entered the Polar sphere with the Vantage V2, the tried my hand with Polar Pacer Pro. I loved the Vantage V2 because it was a leading watch with excellent HR wrist monitor for it's time. The Pacer Pro is underwhelming. Decent watch, but lately the GPS has been all over the place and everything has
