Michelle Derron
Triathlete
The Polar Vantage V is very comfortable to wear and I especially like that it is has its own profile for each sport. The different functions for each sport are ideal for me as a triathlete. Polar Flow helps me to analyze the training in retrospect and to find the correct data to draw conclusions from the trainings.
