It’s a little bit skinnier (width and depth) than most other units, but still tends to be about the length: Size & Weight Comparisons:Ībove, you’ll find all the major units in the high-end multisport market today, plus a few others that are relatively recent.įrom left to right: Garmin FR910XT, Adidas Smart Run GPS, Suunto Ambit2, Polar V800, Garmin Fenix2, Suunto Ambit2 R (and Ambit2 S), Timex Run Trainer 2.0, TomTom Runner/Multisport, Garmin FR620, and finally the Garmin FR220.Īs you can see the V800 is in the same ballpark as other watches. Now that everything is unpacked, let’s hit up the size and weight comparisons. While the left side is for the light (plus a menu while running), and then the back button (which pauses/ends the workout). On your right side will be page up and page down, and then the red button is for starting, laps and selecting/confirming objects in the menu. The other end will connect to your computer.īutton-wise you’ve got five to work with. Next, the USB charger will snap onto the V800 like a clamp. Looking at the pieces briefly, the heart rate strap included is the H7, which is Polar’s Bluetooth Smart + Analog transmission for underwater usage (and gym equipment like treadmills). Take everything out, and here’s your package. Inside the packaging you’ll find the heart rate strap, heart rate strap pod, USB charger, and then the watch still attached to the packaging. No worries though actual contents are the same. In putting this together, the box I had is from a few months ago – so it’s plausible it looks slightly different than the final boxes. In the meantime, I’ll go ahead and show you the unboxing for the model with the heart rate strap. Down the road, it’ll also come in a blue flavor. That with a heart rate strap, and that without a heart rate strap. So – with that intro, let’s get into things. Also, because the technology world constantly changes, I try and go back and update these reviews as new features and functionality are added – or if bugs are fixed. But, if I’ve missed something or if you spot something that doesn’t quite jive – just let me know and I’ll be happy to get it all sorted out. I write these reviews because I’m inherently a curious person with a technology background, and thus I try and be as complete as I can. Lastly, at the end of the day keep in mind I’m just like any other regular athlete out there. Like always, I’ll be shipping that back to them in Finland in the next few days and going out and getting my own via regular retail channels. To be clear, Polar sent me over a V800 to start testing with until retail availability. As such, I’ve got a pretty good idea on where things work, and where there may be a few holes in the story. Since even before the announcement I’ve been using the V800, with now daily usage in the past couple months as it has neared release, which ultimately culminated last week in the first final software release. On top of that, they’d also be integrating in their Polar Loop activity monitor functions – effectively making a powerhouse of a fitness watch. This would be their first multisport integrated GPS watch to market, combining the RC3 GPS watch along with the RCX5 non-GPS multisport watch.
