I purchased a Vantage V from Power Meter City in September 2019. This is a sophisticated product with many features. I would highly recommend it to anyone, who is focused on improving fitness in a structured way. For example, the watch, combined with the Polar Flow website, has features to program custom workouts across a very wide variety of Sport Profiles. Recovery metrics and creating a Program calendar of future workouts are also possible. As such, be prepared to spend a week or two learning how everything works. Consequently, if such a thorough approach fits your needs, then the Vantage V is great and rates 5 stars. If however, structured training and fitness records are not your thing, then I would advise looking for a simpler less expensive product.
From a broader perspective, the features of the Vantage V are typical of what is possible in the age of BIG data. Just because it is possible to record information, does not mean that such information has value. Training and fitness are complex activities, and more data only partially helps in these endeavors, and sometimes marginally or not at all. So if you take the plunge into fitness data, the most important part will be to look at only the valuable bits. Regardless of whether this is a Vantage V or any other modern product, sorting your personal value points, is key to avoiding the BIG time trap of less than useful information.
