Vantage V3
Vantage V3 launched Oct 2023 at $599+. AMOLED, dual-band GPS, ECG-capable sensor, offline maps
The take
Polar's proper comeback: AMOLED, dual-band GPS, offline maps and the recovery analytics Polar built its name on, with an ECG-capable sensor to boot. Wrist HR still trails a chest strap — but that was always Polar's excuse to sell you an H10 too.
