The other functions were not indispensable to me but for me the little extra that distinguishes this product from its direct competitors at comparable prices.
Benefits:
- Watch and fully customizable display on the Polar Flow Site
- Accurate and fast GPS for the starting acquisition
- Aesthetics more "acceptable" for everyday life than competitive products.
- Additional functions nice (monitoring activity, sleep quality, good form test ...)
- Seems solid (bracelet and fixings to the watch)
- Polar Flow Comprehensive site and intuitive
- The IOS app works perfectly and is pleasant to use.
- Autonomy quite good for my use
Disadvantages:
- Strap a little steep (black for me)
- Apps on Android a very limited compatibility (I tested on 3 telephones including 2 very recent and 2 shelves, no works)
- Wired system on PCs when we could switch to Bluetooth and connector position on the watch
In short, apart from this Android app problem that bothers me a bit but I think could be solved by an update (at least I hope), this watch perfectly meets my expectations amateur racer (3 outputs week).
