Good sports watch with offline maps and recovery advice
- Nice and clear screen
- You get a lot of sports profiles
- This large smartwatch is comfortable because it is very light
- It is not possible to reply to messages
This large sports watch is an all-rounder. With the Vantage V3 I improve my sports performance and learn how to sleep better. I also download offline maps, so that I can always find my way.
Appearance and battery life Although the 47 millimeter screen is too large for my wrist, I didn't find it very disturbing. The smartwatch fits comfortably on my wrist. It is light and fits well. The battery lasts me about a week. The battery drains faster in sport mode, so a week is a good score in my opinion.
Sport Whatever sport you do, there is a good chance that this sport profile is on the Vantage V3. I choose 20 sports profiles that I can set on the watch. I do this via the Polar app on my smartphone. I have been running and doing yoga workouts with the watch. The watch recommends workouts to improve my performance. My training status tells me if I'm ready for a tough workout or if I need to take it easier.
Smart functions I receive my incoming messages and calls on the watch. I can only read this, not answer it. Vantage V3 is really a sports watch, so for me this is not really necessary. I control my music and podcasts via the smartwatch, which I find useful.
Measurements This Vantage measures quite precisely. It sometimes seems to measure my heart rate less well. Compared to other smartwatches, the Vantage often indicates a higher heart rate during activity and a lower heart rate at rest. I can take tests to determine my sports level, such as a walking test, running test or cycling test. But also an ECG measurement and overall fitness test. This allows the smartwatch to know what my baseline is. This gives me personal tips for training, so that I can improve my fitness or leg muscles, for example.
Size and screen Considering how big the watch is, it really weighs very little and I hardly feel it. I think the watch is too big for my wrist of 14 centimeters in circumference, but it fits well. I can clearly read my dates and time on the clear AMOLED screen.
Sleep and recovery Like many smartwatches, I also measure my sleep quality with the Vantage V3. I see how deeply I sleep and how often I wake up. With the Nightly Recharge function I learn how to improve my sleep and wake up more rested.
Navigation With maps and the compass on the smartwatch I always find my way back. I download maps via the Polar website, which I then put on the Vantage V3. These maps are therefore available offline. This way I can always find my way back, even if I have no reception.

Don't buy if you want good heart rate monitoring!
- Nice watch and sharp image
- Heart rate measurement
Don't buy this watch if heart rate monitoring is important to you! Otherwise a beautiful watch, but I just bought an upgrade from my Polar Vantage M for heart rate measurement. This means you do not always have to exercise with a chest strap and it also provides better measurements in addition to exercise. I also compare the heart rate registration with other polar and chest straps (but also with a sports test, for example). The heart rate does not deviate a little, but a lot. Just 20-50 heartbeats. Often after about 10 minutes of exercise everything goes well for a while, but after 30 to 40 minutes the poor perception starts again. That unreliability is not what you want with sports. Watch is now back for the 3rd time. Another watch didn't help either. It really is in this model. Even the (wrist) heart rate of the vantage M is much better. So buy it if this is not important to you, but otherwise don't do it. No more Polar for me, after years of products from this brand it will be a Garmin. By the way, this has nothing to do with coolblue, who as always provide more than excellent service!
