Polar, world leader in the sports & fitness wearable sector for almost 50 years, announces Polar Vantage V3, the new premium multisport watch with an elegant design and AMOLED touch display, which includes dual-frequency GPS, offline topographic maps and innovative Polar biosensing technology Elixir, capable of measuring and analyzing a large number of physical parameters, allowing you to obtain data such as the electrocardiogram from the wrist, oxygen saturation and skin temperature.
Vantage V3 with Polar Elixir biosensing technology: not just a novelty, an evolution
Polar Elixir biosensing is the innovative sensor fusion platform that measures a large number of physical parameters, allowing users to obtain an even more complete range of data and tools for training and recovery.
The latest generation Polar Elixir platform takes heart rate detection to a new level of precision, guaranteeing maximum reliability in any condition, thanks to a sophisticated multi-sensor system and algorithms developed internally.
Thanks to the Polar Elixir platform and the integrated ECG sensor, Polar Vantage V3 allows you to perform an electrocardiogram in a few seconds, with a complete reading of cardiac activity that offers a lot of information on the physical condition and recovery status with functions such as the Orthostatic test and Recovery Pro™, no longer needs to connect an external heart rate sensor.
Furthermore, Polar Elixir also includes pulse oximetry technology to measure blood oxygen saturation, a crucial indicator for health and in particular situations, such as when training at high altitude. In a study carried out in collaboration with the Sport Product Testing group at the Canadian Sport Institute in Calgary (Alberta, Canada) the Polar SpO2 sensor was validated using ISO (International Organization for Standardization) protocols generally used during the development of medical devices. The results showed that the Polar SpO2 sensor generated values with a root mean square error of less than 3.5% when compared to arterial blood oxygenation measurements, a level of accuracy similar to that of commercially available fingertip pulse oximeters.
But that’s not all, the Polar Elixir platform also allows the detection of skin temperature during the night, highlighting the variations compared to the average of the last 28 days, which is very important data for the evaluation of general well-being and one’s circadian rhythm.
Polar Vantage V3 with biosensing technology: the most advanced sportwatch ever
“Sports progress is defined by objectives that are set, worked to achieve, exceeded and the subsequent ones defined. This requires a great deal of information about yourself and your performance, which can only be obtained through the measurement and analysis of extremely accurate data. This knowledge, combined with personalized guidance, is the key to progress,” explains Sander Werring, CEO of Polar. “Vantage V3 is Polar’s most ambitious sportwatch to date, powered by our innovative biosensing technology, Polar Elixir™, the result of dedication and decades of scientific work, research and innovation, to offer a personal orientation tool unlike any other on the market,” continues Werring. “The level of insight and precision offered by Polar Elixir™ highlights how Polar’s commitment impacts not only its products, but the entire wearables industry.”
Wherever you go, wherever you want to go
For those who love to always explore new routes, Vantage V3 offers downloadable offline topographic maps, with a high level of detail and contour lines.
But not only that, functions such as navigation, Track-Back which takes you back to the starting point following the same outward path and Hill Splitter™ which counts and analyzes every slope, will make your outdoor adventures unique and unforgettable experiences, in complete safety .
The dual-frequency GPS that detects L1/L5 signals measures distances with high precision even in the presence of tall buildings or cloud cover.
The extremely long-lasting battery allows for up to 140 hours of training in energy saving mode and 53 hours with GPS and heart rate active. In watch mode, with always on display, it lasts up to 8 days.
Fast and powerful, Vantage V3 features a latest generation processor, 129% faster than Vantage V2 and with 32 GB of internal memory.
The Vantage V3 design represents the perfect balance between functionality and elegance, ideal for both sport and everyday use. It features a 1.39-inch AMOLED touch display with 462ppi, to offer maximum clarity and brightness.
Furthermore, the aluminum bezel is light and elegant and the non-slip buttons make it comfortable to use even with gloves and when swimming.
Compatible with all standard 22mm straps, the Vantage V3 can be adapted to any style, without the need for adapters.
