We waited a long time for Polar to drop the third iteration of its Vantage multisports smartwatch, and the Polar Vantage V3 didn’t disappoint when it finally pulled the pin. Good thing, because we have always been fans of the Vantage range and thought the V2 was a fantastic running companion, edging very close to the top spot if you are a fan of swim/bike/run antics.
That said, Garmin seems to keep getting things right with every version of its Forerunner series, and the Garmin Forerunner 965 now rules the roost thanks to a super-bright AMOLED screen and slimmed-down chassis. It’s still a big watch. But then it crams in an unfathomable amount of features, so we can forgive its size.
