![]() ![]() The “Leg Recovery Test” reveals if your muscles are as recovered as you think they are, from just three standing jumps. ![]() Afterward, the V2 reveals your estimated VO2 Max, your maximum heart rate, and your important training threshold zones. In the “Running Performance Test,” you’ll run for 20 minutes, guided by the watch to gradually increase your pace until you hit your limit. Flaunting its Polar Flow training platform as the best in the business, the Vantage provides running power on the wrist, a “Hill Splitter” feature that breaks down your climb and descent stats (great for hill reps), turn-by-turn navigation, and two new tests to improve your training. Runners who want a top-shelf product, look no further. No contactless payment or music storage.Then, when on the road, you keep an eye on the watch as you maintain the same power measure-even when the roads slants up or down-to ensure you’re putting in the right workload. For example, if you can’t do mile repeats on a track, you could dial in your “watts” that equate to the mile pace you’d hit on a flat surface. A neat reason to use it is that you can maintain a consistent training effort over varying courses. It’s basically a measure of how much energy you’re exerting while running. (Polar’s $500 Vantage V was the first GPS watch to have a power meter built-in, and the new $430 Grit X got one, too.) While cyclists already know this metric well, power has been making strides in the running space. Typically you need an external pod like the shoe-mounted Stryd or Garmin’s Running Dynamics Pod, which is worn on your waistband. One advanced feature that the Pace 2 includes is “Running Power.” It’s uncommon for a wrist-based device to measure power directly, and unheard of at this price. ![]()
