Polar Vantage M3 GPS Multisport Watch

Discover an outstanding combination of style and performance with the Polar Vantage M3! The GPS multisport watch is smaller and more powerful than its predecessor, the M2. Packed with sensors and features such as dual-band GPS, offline maps, wrist ECG and a brilliant AMOLED display.

The smart multisport watch has been developed for versatile athletes and covers a wide range of sports with its profiles. It combines the robust design of the Polar outdoor series with the powerful functionality of high-quality Polar sports watches.

The compact M3 sports watch offers a multitude of personal training and coaching tools for countless sports during the day and enables intelligent, automatic sleep and recovery tracking at night. The powerful internal battery can also be replaced at the Polar Repair Centre.

If you need maximum accuracy, pair the Polar Vantage M3 sports watch with a compatible chest strap, e.g. the Polar H10 heart rate sensor (product code: 2288567). A great choice for interval training, racket sports or any sports with plenty of arm movement. It is also perfect when you have your sports watch mounted on the handlebar while cycling (requires Polar Universal Bike Mount, product code: 2284255).

SPECIAL FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS:

POLAR ELIXIR BIOSENSING TECHNOLOGY - The Elixir sensor fusion technology measures more physiological and mechanical data of the human body than anything else before. It analyses a whole spectrum of biological markers with phenomenal speed and provides the best, clearest insights as well as personal guidance in sport and everyday life.

• OPTICAL HEART RATE MONITORING (OHR) GEN 4:
The new sensor has been further developed to further reduce interference from movement and light leakage and to improve energy efficiency, so that precise readings are provided around the clock.

• WRIST ECG:
Place your finger on the unlock button to get an ECG at any time and anywhere within seconds and to retrieve additional data on your heart health and recovery. The ECG function now allows you to perform an orthostatic test without a chest strap. Wrist-based ECG helps you record your heartbeat and heart rate variability to find a balance between training and recovery.

• BLOOD OXYGEN SATURATION (SPO2):
The SpO2 sensor measures the amount of oxygen in your blood – an important indicator of your general wellbeing. SpO2 values also estimate your readiness for training at high altitudes. You can perform the measurement at any time; during the night, the measurement is taken automatically.

• NIGHT-TIME SKIN TEMPERATURE:
Track your temperature during the night and receive daily updates compared to your average from the last 28 days. Changes in night-time skin temperature can indicate illness and offer insights into the female cycle.


POLAR NAVIGATION - Know where you are, where you want to go and what lies ahead – and how to get back.

• DUAL-GPS WITH MULTIPLE SATELLITE FREQUENCY BANDS (L1 / L5):
Provides faster position fixes and more accurate location data in any environment. The dual-band system eliminates errors in GPS location tracking that could otherwise be caused by tall buildings, dense forests or extreme conditions, and ensures precise position fixing as well as accurate speed, distance and route information, no matter where in the world you are.

• OFFLINE MAPS:
Downloadable, detailed topographical maps that keep users on the right track anywhere.

• PRE-INSTALLED MAPS FOR EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA:
With free additional regions and continents that can be downloaded in Polar Flow.

• TURN-BY-TURN-NAVIGATION POWERED BY KOMOOT:
Sync routes to your watch for real-time turn-by-turn navigation on the go, based on superior planning and navigation technology from komoot.

• STRAVA ROUTES:
Sync routes from Strava. With a Strava Premium subscription, you have access to the route planner. You can either create a new route or turn a friend's uploaded ride into a route.

• PLANNED ROUTES AND BREADCRUMB TRACKS:
Planned routes guide you along your set path, track or trail, while breadcrumbs allow you to retrace your steps on any map by following a trail of geo-tagged markers – giving you the confidence to explore more.

• VERTICAL SPEED AND VAM METRICS:
Measure the speed of your climbs and descents to get more accurate data and insights into your upward or downward movements when training on different terrain. 3D speed takes into account both horizontal and vertical speed to determine your real speed as you move.

• HILL SPLITTER:
Automatically detects all ascents and descents using your GPS-based speed, distance and barometric altitude data.

• ALTIMETER, BAROMETER AND COMPASS (ABC).


SMART COACHING - No matter what goal you are pursuing, Polar Smart Coaching helps you to train smarter by offering you personalised guidance based on sports science insights.

• RUNNING PROGRAMME:
Choose from four running events – 5K, 10K, half marathon or marathon – and receive an individually adapted training plan that suits you and your goals.

• RUNNING INDEX:
Gives you valuable information about your maximum aerobic running performance. The calculation is based on heart rate and speed data recorded during the run.

• WORK-REST GUIDE:
Analyses your heart rate during the exertion and recovery phases of a training session to give you personalised recommendations for the optimal time to continue. Specially developed for strength training and perfect for complex exercises, it automatically detects your highest heart rate during a set.

• PERFORMANCE AND RECOVERY TESTS:
Fitness Test, Running Test, Walking Test, Orthostatic Test and Recovery Pro. These tests help you to understand your fitness level, avoid overtraining or undertraining, reduce the risk of injury and optimise recovery.

SLEEP FUNCTIONS - The first-class sleep tracking tools offer a comprehensive analysis of your body's nightly regeneration.

• SLEEP GATE:
Anticipates the time when your body is ready to fall asleep.

• SLEEP WISE:
Shows you how sleep affects your alertness and your readiness to perform during the day. In addition to the quantity and quality of your sleep, the Polar Vantage M3 also takes into account the influence of your sleep rhythm.

• NIGHTLY RECHARGE:
Nightly Recharge is a nightly recovery measurement that shows how well your body has coped with the overall strain you have experienced recently. This stress can stem from various sources, including work, family, relationships, environment, lifestyle, and training. Your Nightly Recharge status is based on two components: how well you slept (Sleep Charge) and how well your autonomic nervous system (ANS) calmed down during the early hours of your sleep (ANS Charge). Both components are formed by comparing your last night with your usual levels from the past 28 days. The Vantage M3 automatically measures both your Sleep Charge and ANS Charge during the night.

• SLEEP PLUS STAGES:
Automatically tracks the amount and quality of your sleep and shows you how long you spent in each sleep stage.

• NIGHT-TIME SKIN TEMPERATURE:
Measuring your skin temperature during the night provides valuable insights into the state of your body.
