Description
If you’re thinking about dipping your toes into the world of triathlons, this multisport training watch has all the right features, and even leaves you with a bit of money for gels. When compared to the competition the Vantage M2 is a solid value. The M2 can record your rides, runs, and swims as a single session, like a real event, or individually, depending on how you train. Training is just one part of performance, the M2 also examines how you fuel your training and how you recover. Taking in all this data via an array of sensors, internal GPS provides speed and distance info, an optical heart rate sensor provides all sorts of pulse related metrics, and internal accelerometers translate your movements into information you can use to train smarter. Onboard fitness testing lets you track your progress. Test results can be seen on your wrist or through Polar Flow’s testing dashboard.
