Polar Vantage V3
Premium Multisport Watch
The Polar Vantage V3 offers various functions to monitor your training and recovery. It includes an orthostatic test, requiring a heart rate sensor, to assess your body's response to training and other factors like stress, sleep, and environmental changes. This test measures heart rate and heart rate variability, reflecting changes in heart regulation. The watch also measures SPO2 levels and body temperature for optimal recovery.
Additionally, the Vantage V3 features dual-frequency GPS for accurate training data like distance and speed. Its AMOLD touchscreen display simplifies navigation, and you can download and view maps offline. The Hill Splitter detects ascents and descents using GPS, inclinometer, and barometric data, with route guidance based on your previous sessions or others' recordings.
Heart rate measurement combines optical sensors and skin measurements for reliability. Training Load Pro technology assesses how training affects your body systems, complemented by the Work-rest guide for balance. The watch offers Fitspark workouts, performance tests, and recovery analysis, including Nightly Recharge and Sleep Plus Stages. It measures running power, muscle strain, swimming metrics, and is compatible with bicycle sensors.
You can control music and receive notifications by connecting your smartphone to the Vantage V3. The battery lasts up to 61 hours in training mode and up to 140 hours in energy-saving mode. It's water resistant to 50 meters, making it suitable for triathletes, and connects to the Polar Flow app for tracking, coaching, and sharing your progress.
THE SOURCE OF POWER: POLAR ELIXIR™
Sports scientists, physiologists, and researchers have spent most of the last century on an epic quest to understand the mysteries of human performance. In doing so, they’ve come up with mechanisms to quantify a spectrum of bodily functions, such as cardiovascular activity, autonomic nervous system, and skin temperature. These measurements help us understand what happens in our body when we exercise, rest, sleep, and in everything we do. Today, some of those functions, or biomarkers, can be detected by tiny sensors that we can comfortably wear day and night.
Understanding the human body in sports and in life—this is the idea that drives Polar Vantage V3 and its new core engine: our newest generation of biosensing technologies. We call it Polar Elixir™, an innovative fusion of sensors that detects those imperceptible biological phenomena that continuously happen in our bodies, from heartbeats to small temperature variations and the oxygen travelling through our bloodstream.
Polar Elixir™ measures more information from the human body than ever before and translates it into digital data and insights. The innovative sensor fusion technology enables state-of-the-art, science-backed algorithms that yield the most advanced and precise understanding of the body, providing unique and individual guidance in sports and in life.
The result is a smart sports watch that gives elite and everyday athletes the tools to understand their bodies, how they respond to exercise and how they recover. We believe that once you understand how your body works with precision, you can fine-tune your training, ensuring every session counts and is productive.
Polar Vantage V3, powered by Polar Elixir™ biosensing technologies, measures four crucial indicators:
- Optical heart rate (4th generation). The redesigned sensor provides 25% more accurate optical heart rate readings in many of the most popular sports, like running and cycling.
- Blood oxygen levels (SpO2). Polar Vantage V3 uses pulse oximetry technology to measure the amount of oxygen circulating in your blood—a key indicator of overall health. The results show a level of accuracy similar to commercially available fingertip pulse oximeters and are in line with ISO standards according to a collaborative study with the Sport Product Testing group at the Canadian Sport Institute in Calgary, Canada.
- Skin temperature. At night, Polar Vantage V3 automatically detects your skin temperature, offering valuable insights into your overall well-being. Women can also use these skin temperature insights to gain a deeper understanding of the specific stage within their menstrual cycle.
- Wrist-ECG. By just placing a finger on a button, with Polar Vantage V3 you can take an electrocardiogram in 30 seconds and get readings of your heart’s electrical signals to unlock pro-level recovery features and insights into your body’s adaptation to exercise. You can also export the ECG test results to a PDF that you can share with your coach.
Such a level of insight brings the concept of having a laboratory on your wrist closer to reality. Even though these measurements shouldn’t be used for medical purposes, they provide additional data points for planning your training and recovery, ensuring you always train at the right intensity—neither too intense nor too light.
When it comes to sports performance, measuring blood oxygen levels is particularly crucial if you are training at altitude. Additionally, ECG readings enable an Orthostatic Test without the need for a separate heart rate chest strap. This is a phenomenal tool for monitoring the balance between training and recovery by assessing strain and other factors such as mental stress, sleep, environmental changes, and latent illness.
BRIGHTER, MIGHTIER, FASTER
Polar Vantage V3 retains our design principles, presenting a beautifully balanced combination of lightness, style, and functionality. But it also receives a major design change that integrates cutting-edge display technology and contemporary aesthetics.
By using a high-resolution AMOLED touchscreen, we brought the display closer to the edges, making more room for content. As it turns out, Polar Vantage V3 has a 35% more viewable area compared to its predecessor.
When you’re in the zone, you want to view your stats quickly, without distractions or the need to squint your eyes. That’s why our users have always demanded brighter and brighter screens. Responding to their request, Polar Vantage V3 is equipped with a new display that is incredibly sharp and bright—just like your smartphone. Whether you’re running in the summer sun or in dark environments, you’ll be able to see all your stats with clarity in an instant.
Strong, durable Gorilla Glass 3 lens protects the display, and a polished aluminum bezel adds an elegant touch that give the watch a premium look and feel. A set of rugged, glove-friendly buttons make it easy and practical to use during high-intensity workouts, swimming, and endurance sports, offering instant access to the most important functions.
Need a different look? For the first time in the Vantage V series, the new Polar Vantage V3 is fully compatible with standard 22mm wristbands, meaning no adapters needed.
LONGER BATTERY LIFE
Even with a brighter display and faster processing power, Vantage V3 delivers battery life that lasts for days, eliminating the need to worry about charging each night. A bigger battery paired with more energy-efficient tech allow up to 53 hours of training time on a single charge (or up to 140 hours in power-saving mode), or up to 8 full days of display time.
INTRODUCING MAPS
Wherever you train, you can now leave your phone behind and still know exactly where you are and where you are going by using your watch.
Polar Vantage V3 now features offline maps that you can upload to your watch for your adventures away from home. Plus, dual-frequency GPS provides more precise location tracking with less interference from tall buildings and bad weather.
By default, every new Polar Vantage V3 comes with pre-loaded maps for Europe and North America. Maps for other countries and regions can easily be downloaded for free from the Polar Flow app.
Other navigation features include:
