Global Triathlon Network shot a video on the new Vantage in Oulu, Finland and visited the Polar Factory. The visit to the Polar Factory is online the one on the Vantage not yet.
(if Polar would invite me i would be happy to shoot a video while in Finland)
Personal i would love to see a watch which has the features of a real sports watch and collects real and correct data. One of Polar’s quotes is “Data you can count on. Get truly accurate insights into your training, sleep and activity.”

Does anyone know why the Vantage V does not separately record R-R-statistics, which means that no export and separate analysis of heart rate variability data will be possible (in contrast to the V 800)? Or will this functionality be available if used together with the H10 heart rate sensor? Or is it planned for a latter firmware update?
