Polar Vantage V3 GPS – Multisport and Fitness Watch

Live your dream – with the Polar Vantage V3 you can make it a reality.
The GPS multisport and fitness watch was developed to help you progress in areas where you strive for more: In sport, in your performance and in everyday life. With the latest generation of biosensor technology, Polar Elixir™, a whole spectrum of physiological and mechanical data points is captured and interpreted with high accuracy by the sensors.

Polar Elixir™ combines in the Polar Vantage V3…
• Polar GEN-4 OHR, an extremely precise optical heart rate measurement with an optimised algorithm and a redesigned sensor structure that minimises light loss from the electrodes and reduces deviations caused by arm movements
• Pulse oximetry technology for measuring blood oxygen saturation
• With an integrated ECG sensor on the wrist, the Polar Vantage V3 creates an electrocardiogram (ECG) in just 30 seconds
• Temperature sensors measure skin temperature and provide insights into wellbeing during sleep, impending infections or the female cycle.

With this range of biosensors, a brilliant AMOLED touchscreen, dual-frequency GPS, maps and the most comprehensive range of training and recovery functions, the Vantage V3 is the most powerful Polar sports watch with smartwatch functionality to date. Designed by and for pro athletes, the multi sports watch is a great partner to achieve all your ambitious training goals – whether in running, swimming and/or cycling.

Thanks to a battery life of several days and the modern sensors for ECG, SpO2 and skin temperature measurement on the wrist, you are fully programmed for performance with the Polar Vantage V3. Because success is measurable! The advanced optical heart rate measurement OHR with LEDs and algorithms for maximum accuracy largely filters out motion artefacts that could interfere with the pulse signal and lead to unreliable measurements.

If you need maximum accuracy, pair the Polar Vantage V V3 sports watch with a compatible chest strap, e.g. the Polar H10 heart rate sensor strap (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).

Tip:
For the HR bundle including Polar H10 heart rate chest strap see product code: 2344829.
