So a lot of you guys asked in the past.

You're like blue.

What's that watch you're always wearing?

Uh, I changed around from different ones for a while.

I used to wear Casio G shop watches forever.

And then I dabbled in the Smartwatch territory and then eventually ended up on this one, which is from this company in front of the polar.

This is the vantage.

Emmett came out a little while back.

It's really a fitness watch, but it has some smart features in it.

The one in front of me here, the new one, this vantage V tighten that I picked up the upgrade, the M version.

It's on my wrist right now.

It gets notifications and things from your phone if you want it at the same time.

It sort of tracking your activity level and other things without the necessity of constantly checking your phone or being connected to your phone.

Even if you don't want it to be a kind of can work a little bit independently.

The benefit here is that you get way more battery life, so that was like stage one, step one for me.

I just the experience of the fully Smartwatch was not for me as it stands right now.

I tried the apple watch.

I tried various android wear devices and so forth.

Anyhow, I landed here.

I ended up here.

This is the vantage M.

They can kind of give you some feedback as to how hard you should be working in a particular time.

Oh, and then the other part two.

If I do decide to go on the bike, go for a ride, then I want to track the heart rate and I don't want to be messing around in maneuvering it.

Now.

You may have noticed in the past there's some arm hair going on here and I've had it's kind of been hit and miss with a number of different heart rate trackers.

So what polar did with their problem is apparently like they just went to the next level with their heart rate tracking.

You could see all these various little nodes on there.

And that's really the history of this company.

You could see I actually busted the strap a little bit.

I don't know if they can see that right there.

I don't know.

I was lifting something.

This one.

The price goes up quite a bit.

It's like 700 bucks or something.

So I don't expect to be for everyone just because of that reason.

Premium multi sport.

Watch Polar Vantage v Tighten.

This is the titanium one.

What do they say on the back?

Polar Vantage V Titan is a premium multi sport.

Watch for anyone who trains like a pro.

That's Ah.

From this point forward, I might have toe embrace pro status.

So anyway, this is the Unboxing experience here, almost like a fabric leave type of feel on the outside.

But then on the inside, it has this rubberized finish with the red.

As you can see right there, the thickness of the thing is almost identical.

Actually, at this point, no.

One thing I should say on M model the wrist strap is interchangeable with any traditional watchband.

This one, it's got to be exclusive.

We have the same really high tech heart rate tracking here.

Number of textured buttons on the outside here.

One thing I don't like too much about the watch design of the charger.

It's this little plastic puck looking thing.

Now it's great for travel because it's so small.

It's a very soft magnet kind of thing.

It's just not the most satisfying click on there as much as you might like.

It's a typical U S B cable over any other end.

All right, Now let me go ahead and see if this thing has any power on it.

May have to plug it in.

This one also has gorilla glass, the V version of more expensive model.

Now the gorilla glass thing is kind of important.

I don't know if you guys can tell, but mine is nicked up.

I don't know.

See if I can.

Yet there, that's a good baby, right in Their durability here is is welcome.

You launch the app.

It's pretty straightforward.

This one is touch screen now, so you could just scroll like that or you can use the buttons.

I like having both potential input methods.

Couple of other little differences here cause I know you're gonna have questions like why would I spend extra money?

This one has greater waterproofing.

The higher end version.

It also has audio alerts.

So I guess it has a little speaker on it because I'm noticing I didn't even realize it that this one with notifications and stuff it's it's strictly visual.

Battery life should also be better on the the model.

This one is strictly button interface, whereas the V model has the touch screen.

Look at this muscle load cardio load.

Apparently, this one didn't have muscle load.

That one does.

There's something called nightly recharge recovery and serene breathing exercise sold.

That could be that could be fun as well.

Can we get the U.

S.

Prices?

Will you do for all three?

OK, so 600 bucks for the Titan model, This one here in USD Willie do coming with the update, the AM is to 75 the regular vantage V is 500.

I've got it all set up now.

So by default, it's in this status right here, where it tells you the amount of activity you've done in the day.

You can see the last few days here on the other watch.

I have missed the activity goal, but I did set it up for a high activity goal.

You know, I'm running around and get outside.

Okay?

I'm not jogging or anything, but like I like to play sports and to things like this.

So you can see, even though this is like 61% activity, that's like almost seven hours that I'm active when you shift to other screens, this will show your heart rate instantaneously if you just want to quickly check it.

This will show you your most recent training sessions.

And this is your sleep data on this one over here.

Actually, like this button, this is how you can start a training session really quick fromthe watch without using the app, and this will sink to the AP later.

So even if the phone's not on you and you're like I'm about to hop on the bike and do a little bit of exercise, you go ahead and start training and pick your activity, at which point it'll start tracking your heart rate, and it will give you a pretty cool readout.

Strength training, hiking, mountain biking, walking, cycling.

Oh, also in this menu, there's more basic stuff like timers.

Ortho static test.

What is that?

Well, to evaluate the balance between training and recovery.

It's not a permanent sink, which is kind of weird compared to a smart watch like it'll sink up every so often, which again, I think, has its benefits for battery life.

But it means that kind of just interacts with your phone a little bit differently.

There are some tasks that are a bit more manual.

It can get notifications.

It can tell you when you get a call.

It does have a speaker on it.

As I mentioned previously, the other one does not.

You can also add training results in targets into Google calendar.

It's a robust utilitarian is a tough watch, the long battery life with a great heart rate sensor and activity tracking.

And then it can do notifications to.

But that's not typically.

Would I use it for All right.

So when you're setting the device up to map it to your physical activity level, you can go over here.

It's in the settings.

It's called activity Goal, and you can have a level 12 or three.

Obviously, depending on how athletic you are, humming activities you're doing, I have it sets a number two.

I hit it sometimes.

Sometimes I miss you.

Put in your training background.

I probably trained.

I probably actually do more activity in 123 hours a week.

If you think about it, play hockey, all the rest of it.

Jack.

Let's think about also maximum heart rate in there.

So it's really configurable.

It's cool.

I like it.

If you're looking for a smart watch, this might not fit the criteria.

I'm gonna go ahead and try it on now and see how it feels compared to the other one.

And, of course, switch over to it now that it's sync up all right, so the band is quite a bit different.

Much, much nicer band.

It's the new Vantage V Titan.

I like the look of it better.

It's just a slight upgrade on my previous model, I think for most people, if you like what I talked about, but you don't want to splurge on a crazy price point, you could probably be happy with this one as well.

If you won't be really fancy.

Flash potentially.
