8) Android and Apple apps, It connects to Google fit via the app plus other third party tools
9) GPS is supposed to be quick to connect
10) Cheap, the next best deal is $338+ shipping at Kogan, everywhere else its $450+

Cons:
1) Price is only for white S/M model which has a smaller strap sized: wrist circumference 130-190 mm (see point 7 above ;) to get one larger if your bigger wristed )
2) Touch screen is slow but buttons are the primary navigation method for quicker access
3) Released 2020 so older model
4) Is not a proper smart watch - so dont expect these features
5) It doesn't have any other Oxygen sensors etc..

  • Reviews on Amazon speak for themselves… just scroll down in the review section of Amazon, if you seriously consider to buy this piece of rubbish! Nerds like those features in this watch but only if they work.

    This is definitely getting a little bit old in the tooth, but for the price it’s still a pretty great tool to get into some fitness tracking and training. Polar’s interface isn’t the prettiest or the snappiest, but their platform and backend is pretty comprehensive…even if, again, it doesn’t look the prettiest.

    Yeah you’re probably not going to get any new features with firmware, but for this price it’s a valid alternative to the plastic Garmins that still end up costing a more.

        not getting my metaphors right is my bread and pudding.

  • If 512mb ram and old CPU then good luck
