After two years, the start button on Polar's top model went flat.

The top model from market leader Polar completed two years of reliable and trouble-free service. Including a barometric altimeter, the slim watch has every conceivable function and can be paired with other accessories such as a bike and running sensor as well as GPS via its own W.I.N.D. connection. The cumbersome but comprehensible menu navigation works well, while the initially very smooth buttons provoked a few false starts. Over months of heavy muddy use, the smooth operation of the buttons suffered, while the start button finally gave up completely.


Positive: You can change the batteries in the watch and chest strap yourself.
