Polar Vantage V Multisport GPS In-Depth Review
www.dcrainmaker.com/2018/12/polar-vantage-multisport-review.htmlWhile the Vantage M focuses on the mid-range, and carves out a bit of a new segment for Polar, it is meant to compete with Suunto’s Spartan Trainer Wrist HR, as well as undercut Garmin a bit in the multisport game. … One area that Polar has an edge over Garmin on is that you can have both automatic laps and manual laps at the same time.
