Vantage M

I have a Vantage and I like it. Mainly for tracking sleep and the vibrating alarm (early and doesn’t wake the wife). As far as tracking during CrossFit I don’t really use it for much other than an occasional oh that’s cool haha. For zone 2 or running stuff I use it a lot more but not for WODs. Don’t get me wrong I still track all my workouts through it but I don’t really do much with that info. When I wear grips or do a lot of thrusters or anything that would bother my wrist I actually put the watch on my ankle and it works the same. I have the strap as well which is the best but I haven’t replaced the battery in a while

You can take a look at Polar as well. Have used the Vantage M (fairly old) model for up to Olympic distance, except the swim where I was doing some breast stroke and hence lost the GPS signal several times, all tracking was OK. There are regular discounts run by Polar, up to 35% depending in the model.

Ich habe aktuell eine Forerunner 265 und überlege zurück zu Polar (Vantage M3 oder Grit X2) zu wechseln.  Meine Vorgängeruhr war die Vantage M die mir 5 Jahre lang gute Dienste geleistet hat bis der Akku aufgegeben hat.  Bei den aktuellen Polar Modellen kann der Aklu getauscht werden, außerdem hat die Polar offline Karten und einen flachen optischen HR Sensor.  Mein Mann hat die Vantage M3 und ist zufrieden, und mein persönlicher Eindruck ist, dass die optische Herzfrequenzmessung von Polar besser ist als die meiner Garmin Uhr.  Was die Polar nicht kann ist direkt Musik von Spotify spielen, ich persönlich habe mein Handy aber ohnehin dabei. Und der größte Nachteil an Polar ist, dass sie keine API bieten über die Trainingsprogramme auf die Uhr geladen werden können, die müssen manuell erstellt werden 

I ended up getting a Grit X2 pro but I hope it lasts longer. My Grit X Pro failed in barely over 2 years and the Vantage and M430s I had earlier also had stupid issues like buttons getting stuck. Not to mention the horrible charging port corrosion issues in the M400 days. Polar needs to get their shit together. I honestly don't mind that they have less features (which has cost them a lot of buyers in the market) but loved the tracking ecosystem and was willing to overlook the less "smart" features for the quality. If Polar doesn't get their act together, this will be my last Polar watch. Although I have my doubts the company will even exist if they continue to fall further behind and continue focusing on chasing stupid fads like their fitness band.

I use Polar Vantage and they have a ski profile. As heart rate by the wrist is quite unreliable when skiing I use a chest strap for my xc skiing sessions.

I had the original Vantage M and that + Vantage V were released early with all promised features trickling in with updates down the line. 

I got polar vantage - it’s better than Garmin :)
