polar has been on a roll lately with its fitness oriented smartwatches and its latest product blends serious Fitness with some brains I'm he met a van with pocket now and let's talk about the polar m200 as we discussed in our recent polar m600 video serious heart rate monitoring started with polar 30 years ago and continues today the polar m200 may not bring the brains of Android wear but competes with more the likes of products like the Fitbit surge or a Garmin difference really is that you're getting more bang for your buck here your standard fitness SmartWatch either doesn't have a replaceable band a complete irony and durability for a product you're going to beat up or the software doesn't allow for many workout options or it's just not suitable for swimming the polar m200 is a different animal altogether first of all the hardware is water-resistant and suitable for swimming the polyurethane band that surrounds the watch is fully replaceable and the replacement is just twenty dollars with different color options and since the band is actually all the watch exterior when replacing the band you'll notice the coolest trick as this watch charges through standard USB that USB a connector also serves if you want to stick to polar flow on the desktop but the m200 includes bluetooth connectivity to sync with your standard smartphone through polar flow the 180 milliamp power battery ensures six days of 24/7 activity tracking considering one hour of GPS fitness tracking a day though your mileage may vary depending on if you use it further or less there's a significantly large heart rate sensor at the bottom to assist in tracking your daily activities and workouts and what makes power efficiency possible is the one-inch dot-matrix display that includes a backlight the left button serves as a back button and the right button serves to navigate on a short press or to select with a long press the dots on the bezel serve as a navigation bar for menus but what I liked the most about this watch is that during workouts the dots blend with the digits on the bezel to tell your heart rate training zone polar is pretty much one of the few companies that enable smart training through this feature on its watches and later through the application and really the app is where everything is syncing the watch requires a long press to the left button and then polar flow gives you a comprehensive look of how you performed along with some insights on the type of training you had honestly for 150 dollars I think this watch really makes it hard for any other watch to compete at this price range you get 24/7 tracking which includes sleep GPS connectivity there's a long list of workouts you could track with it and you can add more through the application it has training zone information and trekking even includes swimming swapping bands is the easiest thing and polar flow connectivity even helps the watch become your personal trainer the watch also includes options for vibrating notifications and alarms from your smart phone though I probably wouldn't consider it fancy enough to be your day-to-day watch though maybe the black band could change my mind about that for everything else the polar m200 is a great fitness watch that I highly recommend you give a try and which will continue testing over the next few weeks friends we've got more videos just like this one coming up very soon so make sure you follow us on social media and hit that subscribe button down below for more videos like this one you also catch our videos on vessel vessel comm / PocketNow and follow me on twitter hyn underscore avatar on instagram @ Hina t better please get this video a thumbs up if you like what you saw I am here together thank you very much for watching we'll see you on the next one
