Polar V800 review : Polar’s software updates give new life to the ageing sports watch

So have the extra software additions made the Polar V800 an even better companion for runners? Yes and no. On the one hand, the plans are easy to follow and we like the ability to access them directly from the watch. Smart coaching features are well integrated and if you’re willing to grab a heart rate monitor as well, there’s plenty of useful running data here. The problems lie with the fragmented way that the information is spread across two apps. The most useful data sits inside the web app when it should be in the mobile app. Hopefully that’s an easy fix for Polar. This model is starting to show its age in the design department, but if you care about stats and a GPS watch that’s built to take some damage, it’s still a solid all-rounder.
