• Stopwatch - Start/Stop any measure of running time.
• Lap Timer - Mark laps automatically or manually.

Accurate GPS

The new antenna design allows you to track every stride with improved accuracy wherever you run. Train with the best positioning experience anywhere in the world.

The built-in GPS works together with GLONASS and Galileo global navigation satellite systems, and QZSS regional navigation satellite system for East Asia and Oceania to provide accurate speed, distance, and route data anywhere on the planet.

Assisted-GPS provides faster fixes and tells your watch the predicted positions of the satellites, making it possible to receive signals from them within seconds wherever you are, even under difficult conditions.

It's as clear as day. MIP (memory-in-pixel) reflective colour display is optimized for bright conditions, so now you can see your stats clearly – no more squinting in the sun.

Enhanced Backlight Management

Let there be light – or not. Adjust the screen brightness to your surroundings – whenever you need to.

Reduced Power Consumption

The power of pixels. A brighter display doesn’t have to mean more power – MIP offers up to 10x more power-efficiency.

Skip charging, not data. 

Whether you want to train every day, or not, you still need your watch to keep running 24/7. Not a problem – one full charge gives you one full week.

Ultra-Long Battery Life

Time flies when you’re having fun – but you don’t have to worry about running out of juice. Up to 7 days on a single charge.  Up to 100h Training time in power-save modes. Up to 35h Training time with full GPS and HR tracking enabled.

Polar Charge 2.0

Polar Charge 2.0 magnetically snaps onto your watch and charges in the time it takes for you to get your gear on.

Precision Prime™ OHR Technology

Know how hard your body is working. Polar heart rate tracking technology is world-famous for being the most reliable and accurate in the industry. Want to see how intense your run really is? Listen to your heart. 

Polar Precision Prime™ sensor fusion technology tracks your heart rate from the wrist. The innovation combines optical heart rate measurement with other sensor technologies to rule out motion artifacts that might disturb the heart rate signal and produce unreliable readings.

Pace Calculator

Pace yourself. Polar's easy-to-use running pace calculator app will show your predicted times for running a certain distance, whatever pace you choose.

Walking Test 

Walking Test is an uncomplicated test that you can perform regularly to estimate your aerobic fitness level based on your VO2max. 

Walk at a brisk pace for 15 minutes along a flat route and the automatic calculation will factor in the distance you walk, your heart rate during the test, and your personal metrics: gender, age, height, and weight.

24/7 Activity Tracking

Being active is important for your health, so it makes complete sense that tracking your activity all day, every day is important. 24/7 Activity Tracking will automatically count the moves you make and the steps you take.

Polar watches promote active lifestyles by giving you a daily activity goal based on your personal data and activity level setting, then automatically tracking your activity throughout the day. If you’ve been inactive for too long, you’ll get a friendly reminder to get up and move. Your daily activity goal is shown as a circle that gradually fills until you reach your goal - get 100%.

Sleep Plus Stages™

Sleep better. Getting enough quality sleep is vital for health and well-being. Sleep Plus Stages™ automatically tracks the amount and quality of your sleep and shows how long you spent in each sleep stage. light, deep, and REM. 

Sleep tracking can help you understand your sleep behavior over the long-term, and also identify the factors in your day that may have a negative impact on your sleep.

Nightly Recharge™

Wake up ready. See how well your body recovers from the demands of your day during the night – open your eyes to the information you can use.

Nightly Recharge™ is an automatic overnight recovery measurement that shows you how well you recover from the demands of your day. It helps you make the optimal choices in your everyday life to maintain overall well-being and reach your training or fitness goals. 

Your Nightly Recharge™ status is based on two components: how you slept (Sleep Charge), and how well your autonomic nervous system calmed down during the early hours of your sleep (ANS Charge).

Running Program

Set a goal. Run to it. From 5k to marathon, pick the event you want – and run with a plan that adapts to your training on the way.

Choose one of four running events, 5K, 10K, half marathon or marathon, and get a personalized, adaptive training plan that fits you and your goals.

Your personal running program is based on your training history and your current fitness level – with programs ranging from 9 weeks up to 20 months in length, depending on your event and choices.

Each running program consists of three phases and includes five different types of runs, including interval training and long runs. Don’t sweat it, though. Your Polar device will guide you through each workout and give feedback for each session.

Swimming Metrics

Easily track your swimming performance with automatic detection of your swimming style, distance, pace, strokes, and rest times.

Improve your swimming technique over time both in the pool (SWOLF score), and open water.

Step Count

Counting your steps is a good way to see if you’re doing enough to maintain your overall health. The more steps you take per day, the closer you’ll be to your fitness goals, paving the way to better health.

Going for a walk is an easy way to clock up some steps, but you take a lot of steps every day just by doing everyday things. With a 3D digital acceleration sensor, Polar Watches will measure every move and update your step count as you go.

Training Targets

Plan your training sessions in advance with customized training targets and save them to your training diary. When it’s to break a sweat, your device will guide you throughout your scheduled session, so you can fully focus on your workout.

You can create interval workouts with heart rate, speed, or power targets, or set simple training goals, such as ‘burn 700 kcal cycling’ or ‘run 30 minutes.’ Your device will alert you when you need to slow down or speed up to make sure your training goes as planned.

Energy Sources

Burn those calories. Learn which energy sources were consumed during the workout; carbs, proteins or fats?

See how much of each energy source your body uses during training, broken down into fats, carbohydrates, and proteins for each session - illustrated as percentages of your total calorie consumption at the end of your session.

Seeing how much of each energy source you used during your session allows you to learn how different intensities affect your energy usage. You can also spot how the main energy source can change during a long session.

FuelWise™

FuelWise™ is a smart fueling assistant that helps you find the optimal way to fuel during a long training session or event.

When you train, the different systems of your body become strained. Training Load Pro™ monitors this strain to provide you with detailed insights.

Training Load Pro™ gives you values for the load placed on both your cardiovascular and musculoskeletal system (Cardio Load and Muscle Load) after every session, and with Perceived Load you can rate how strained you feel - allowing you to see the immediate strain on your body, and monitor training induced strain over the long-term.
