Smartest watch on the block
You can expect a significant upgrade from the Polar Vantage M with the M2; there’s a lot more functionality, aimed at helping you improve as an athlete. It will support on your recovery with its Nightly Recharge feature, while Fitspark will intuitively suggest a workout (cardio, strength and supportive) depending on where you are with your training. With Training Load Pro, you’ll get insights into how your training is stressing your body – whether you’re overtraining – and help with increasing your load. And, of course, the Polar Running Programme will design a training schedule based on a race date – all based on your personal metrics. It’s super light, looks stylish and, with its music controls, weather forecasts and prompts for when to eat and drink, we think this looks like the perfect wrist-based coach. £269, polar.com/uk-en
