User questions & answers

Question:	If using the chest strap, does the watch automatically use the data from the chest strap
Answer:	In my experience, this watch does not communicate with the sensor attached to the chest strap, so is not a solution. I bought another polar, the F1, which works with the transmitter attached to the chest strap and use it in the other hand. The M430 does not acknowledge the HR beating during the first 8 minutes. From that moment on it goes at similar levels than the F1. I have observed this behavior several times and it is always the same. Why? Don t know.
Question:	Hi, is there a back light on this
Answer:	Yes, it has a blue backlight.
Question:	What is the actual battery life? Do you need to plug it in every 12-24 hours
Answer:	I'm getting a full week on a charge, using the GPS and HR functions about an hour a day on average, and wearing it the rest of the time.
Question:	is it compatible to h10 sensor
Answer:	Yes I use mine with a H10. If you use a heart rate strap sensor the built in one turns off and the watch battery lasts longer.

User questions & answers

Question:	How reliable is the Verizon Connected series when you do not have your phone on you? I have not been able to find any reviews on this specific one
Answer:	I don't know about the band size, but the diameter of the cases on most all Expeditions is 40mm....That's too large. It looks like an alarm clock on your arm...I returned the one I bought. Having said that, I would like to have one with a case diameter not exceeding 35mm.
Question:	Will the Verizon connected version still connect to wifi
Answer:	There are eight (8) holes in the strap.
Question:	Does this work with Samsung galaxy
Answer:	I think the band is OK for occasional moisture such as rain, would not wear it the shower or say canoing or kayaking. It has a synthetic suede like backing that absorbs water and takes awhile to dry, especially while worn. I would be OK immersing the watch in water such as swimming ( not diving) but would swap out the exisitng band for a nylon one for those activities. Band looks nice though and is comfortable ( so long as it is not wet)
Question:	Does lte cellular of this watch work outside us
Answer:	In December 2020 this listing included models where the the crown is inset into the bezel for protection (40mm) and models where the crown is unprotected (37mm). In 1944 the standard military field watch was 35mm to 37mm but today 37mm is considered a small watch for women. Some of the most expensive reproductions of WWII watched are also 36mm or 37mm.

WHY HEART RATE TRAINING IS THE SMART WAY TO WORK OUT?

Real-time heart rate data during your workouts means instant insight into how your body is responding. You’ll be training smarter, which is always better than simply training harder.

In a nutshell, smart training that leads to results is based on three variables:

Frequency: How many times you exercise during a period of time, for example per week.

Duration: How long you exercise at a time, usually counted in minutes.

Intensity: This one is a bit more complicated – and that’s where your heart rate comes in.

Your heart rate is one of the best indicators of how hard your body is working during training. Instead of trying to ‘guesstimate’ the intensity of your workout, your best bet is to rely on your heart rate which is a trackable number, just like frequency and duration.

Performance isn’t just about training smarter – recovery plays a huge part as well. Our Nightly Recharge recovery measurement automatically tracks your sleep and recovery, so you’ll know when you’re ready to push your limits.

Running Program

A running coach on your watch - with Polar Running Program, training for a running event is easier than ever. All you need to do is choose your distance and set your date, and Polar Flow creates you a personal and adaptive training plan that is based on your individual metrics. Your plan adapts along the way based on your progress.

Training Load Pro

Training Load Pro helps you see how your training sessions strain the different parts of your body. It also gives you a visualization of how much you’ve been training lately, so you’ll know whether you’re on the right track.

Nightly Recharge sleep tracking

Nightly Recharge is an overnight recovery measurement that shows you how well you have recovered from the demands of your day. It helps you make optimal choices in your everyday life to maintain overall wellbeing and reach your training goals.

All you need to do is wear your Polar Vantage M2 during the night – the measurement is completely automatic.

FitSpark training guide

Polar Vantage M2 and the FitSpark training guide offer you ready-made daily workouts that match your recovery, fitness level and training history.

FuelWise smart fueling assistant

Learn to refuel and maintain adequate energy levels during your long sessions.

Energy Sources

See how your body uses different energy sources during a training session. Polar Vantage M2 divides your energy usage into carbs, proteins and fats.

User questions & answers

Question:	will this watch allow the Nike run club app detect my heart rate while using the app for a run? my phone is a pixel 5 with Google Fit integrated
Answer:	NO!!! ONLY Fit For Polar A300.
Question:	Does the M200 show your calorie burn progress in real time during your workout? Or do you have to wait till you retrieve your workout data after
Answer:	With any wrist HRM they all use optical sensor which are less accurate or, rather produce inconsistent heart rate readings with rapid changes during session intervals (e.g. high-intensity change-ups, etc). That technology just doesn't allow the light sensors to calculate rapid changes in HRs fast enough to provide the accurate HR readouts most of us require. Some mfrs may claim their optical sensor technology is better than others but, again, those optical sensord just cannot calculate the rapid changes fast enough in ANY of these wrist (or arm) to provide HRs close to what our max HRs may actually be. So, as Hector Moreno suggested, no to accurate heart rate on high intensity change-ups during our sessions and, yes, the chest straps allegedly provide more accurate readings with faster calculations (getting wrist fitness or smart watches to read those HRs from chest straps WITHOUT a proprietary mfr's application sometimes is an obstacle, an HR "roadblock").
Question:	Does this have a backlight
Answer:	The Vantage M does not have gorilla glass. The Vantage V however does. - Mike@PolarUSA
Question:	Does it track your steps
Answer:	Yes, the Vantage M can indeed be paired with the Polar H10 heart rate sensor. - Mike@PolarUSA

Question:	Does polar vantage v2 synchronize with welltory app full features
Answer:	Hi, This would be a question for the Welltory Support Team, asking them if its possible to connect your Flow account to their service. Looking at our compatible app list I do not see that app listed however there are apps that can connect to your Polar Flow account that are not on our list since the connection is made in the other app. I would reach out to their Support Team and ask them if its possible and if all features are available once the two accounts are connected.
