Polar M400

I have the V800 and love it. Right now MFP is having syncing problems that started about 2 weeks ago. To sync with MFP you need an IOS device.

I love my M400. I use it with an H7 HRM and find it all very accurate. I think the combo was under $200 when I got it on sale at Best Buy. I also have a Polar Bluetooth Stride Sensor linked up to the watch.

The Polar Sync App only works with IOS now. Android support is coming. Same with smart notification of you care. You can get your data into MFP via an App (forget what it's called, that that syncs with Polar and then Endomondo and then MFP. There's a post about it in one of the M400 threads. I tried it, but didn't like it because the entry into MFP is too generic. Maybe that will change down the road.

As far as the watch goes, it works great. Lots of flexibility to add sport profiles (I use Crossfit, Strength Training, Treadmill, and Running) and then customize the screens (how many, the layout, the information shown, etc.) base on what you want to track and see. For instance, when I do Crossfit, I don't want the GPS on and on my main screen I want to see my HR, HR Zone, and workout time. I have 2 other screens active I can flip through as well. When I run, I want GPS on, but on my main screen I want my pace and cadence (since I have the stride sensor) and second screen with HR and HR zone. On both since I'm only showing the 2 data points, they each take up half the screen making it easier to read. I then have a few other screens with 4 pieces of data on each (elevation run, auto splits, etc.). I use the Treadmill profile when running indoors, for which of course I have GPS off and slightly different screens.

I likes the look of the V800 a bit more, and would have liked some of the extra features, but not for twice as much.

Battery is great. I don't use GPS much since I prefer to run on the treadmill at the gym, so a single battery charge lasts me weeks. Every 3-4 weeks I charge the watch via micro USB just to be safe, but I've never come close to running it dead.

Activity tracker is nice. Tells me when I've been sitting at my desk too long.

Sleep tracker has just enough information. Prior to the M400 I had a MS Band with optical HR. That sleep tracker sliced and diced my sleep so much, I felt horrible about my sleep each morning after reviewing what it said. If it really is that bad, don't tell me

Comfort is fine. I wear mine 24x7 except when I shower. It is waterproof, but when I shower is when I usually wash it off and rinse out the micro USB slot as it suggests after each workout.

Overall, I can't imagine not having it. Definitely one of the best fitness purchases I've ever made.

p.s. If you get one, message me so we can share Polar feeds. I haven't really found anyone on MFP yet to share feeds with.
