Polar introduces the Vantage M3: An extraordinary set of Polar capabilities in a compact design

Polar, a pioneer in wearable sports and fitness technology for nearly 50 years, has announced Polar Vantage M3, a seamless blend of cutting-edge technology and minimalist Nordic elegance. Helping multi-sport athletes take the next step, Vantage M3 gives them the class-leading features and metrics to train smarter, recover, and ultimately improve their fitness.

For the first time, Polar brings a suite of its class-leading training and health features into the popular mid-range category. The new Polar Vantage M3 builds on the success and popularity of the previous generations of Vantage M sports watches, continuing to refine and enhance the features that users love with the addition of dual-frequency GPS, offline maps, and state-of-the art biosensing technology, including wrist-ECG readings, nightly skin temperature, and blood oxygen saturation measurements.

Following the award-winning design principles of Polar’s premium watches, the Polar Vantage M3 features a vibrant 1.28-inch AMOLED display, protected by Gorilla Glass 3 and enclosed by a sleek, lightweight stainless-steel bezel. Despite the thin case, the Polar Vantage M3 offers a long battery-life with up to 30 hours in training or up to 7 days in smartwatch mode, making it ideal for tracking sports, daily activity, and sleep without frequent charging concerns.

At just 53 grams, the Polar Vantage M3 is the ideal companion for hikes, runs, rides, and other endurance sports. It raises the bar and offers more for those looking for more advanced tools to support in achieving and setting new goals.

“The Polar Vantage M3 empowers today’s incredibly versatile athletes and is perfect for anyone who wants the extraordinary set of Polar capabilities in a more compact design,” says Sander Werring, CEO of Polar Electro. “With its combination of award-winning design, superior performance, and science-backed features, no other mid-range sports watch supports athletes in their every pursuit like the all-new Polar Vantage M3.”

With support for over 150 sports and comprehensive suite of training and recovery tools, the new Polar Vantage M3 is the ultimate multi-sport watch. The Vantage M3 offers the data and insights that those balancing varied sports need – knowing they can count on Polar’s decades-long wearable expertise, history of industry-recognized research, and extensive algorithm portfolio.

Unique insights into the body, day and night

The new design of Polar Vantage M3 embraces the growing interest towards active living, where fitness and wellness are no longer separate pursuits but integral parts of daily life. For this purpose, Polar’s award-winning team has crafted a timepiece that complements the user’s everyday style, making them feel stylish and empowered while letting them show their commitment to training, wellness, and personal improvement.

With the full suite of Smart Coaching features, Polar Vantage M3 offers unique insights into the body throughout the day and at night. By wearing the watch continuously, users gain comprehensive insights into their health and fitness. Polar Vantage M3 tracks a wide range of metrics, including exercise performance, daily activity levels, calorie consumption, sleep, and long-term recovery trends.

Moreover, advanced, science-backed training load metrics give users detailed insights into how training sessions strain their cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems, allowing them to understand whether it might be a good idea to cut down on training or maybe do some more. As a result, this continuous monitoring provides a holistic view of the body’s condition, helping users make informed decisions to enhance their fitness, recovery, and overall well-being.

“Multi-sport training is by far the most popular type globally, with over 80% of Polar users training in three or more sports. We understand the needs of these athletes and are committed to providing the best tools for their growth. As they outgrow their current devices, the Vantage M3 offers an unparalleled experience in the category for 24/7 use, ensuring long-term success and effective recovery—a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of performance,” Werring continues.
