POLAR V800

Hello everyone!!

Today we will talk about one of the Polar heart rate monitors that for its spectacular features, you could not miss in this blog. It is the polar V800 , which was presented as the first multisport GPS watch with support activities not only race, but also true for cycling, swimming and other sports profiles , both indoors and outdoors . These profiles are user configurable , so it gives enough freedom in this regard. The official announcement described it as his most intelligent and advanced to date clock. Not only remarkable for this, also for being the first to incorporate an activity monitor on the clock itself, something that the Finns had already been working previously with Polar Loop.

The Polar V800 is presented as the most advanced and intelligent heart rate monitor so far manufactured by Polar, aimed at the most demanding athletes , with all functions and monitoring of activity 24 hours a day. It is multisport , ie data supports running , cycling, triathlon , swimming, skiing and many more , with profiles for each and rapid change across disciplines with time control transitions.

Among its innovations is also the ability to measure heart rate during swimming and both registration and reading of altitude data has been improved thanks to built- in barometric pressure sensor.

News not only stay on the clock, the web service Polar Flow has also received a major upgrade with the arrival of Polar V800 , with instant and detailed analysis of all aspects of training and recovery. Mobile App connects to the GPS heart rate monitor , collect all the data and connects you with the user communit.

The new Polar V800 stores the last four weeks of session , your screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass technology (very present in smartphones and tablets) , which gives resistance to scratches and has a high contrast. This screen is in black and white, making it look good even in low light and also increases the autonomy of the clock. Its battery provides up to 14 hours of continuous training, but can be extended up to 50 hours non-stop in the GPS low power mode.

Moreover, as we said, the V800 also functions as a measure of activity of the day, counting each step ,calories , distance, and other statistics , acting as a quantifying bracelet. In this way , it is capable of supporting up to 30 days without recharging.

The following PowerPoint presentation you can see a more detailed analysis of operation:

Our Opinion

It is certainly one of the most advanced heart rate monitors on the market. In owning GPS and also serve as a bracelet activity it makes you stand out from their larger competitors. The only problem would be its high price, because now would be around € 350-400 , but if you have enough budget and are looking for something of this nature, this should be your primary choice.

Adidas MiCoach

Hi everyone!! After, Having been without a post for a while, I come back with a very interesting application: Adidas MyCoach. An amazing free application that Adidas offers. AdidasMiCoach, makes training plans that fit our sporty profile and the objectives we pursue. It's amazing to see how an application can create both plans aerobic and strength training, which make we can all have a coach in the palm of your hand.

Having been testing it for a month, I can say that this application is the best that currently exists. Also interacts with the MyFitnessPal own (which we discussed earlier), which is an extra point for her. The application creates a simple way to career training plans, according to the objective that we pursue (10k, 21k , and the corresponding time we intend to do )

Other highlights is that has accessories such as a SmartWatch, which completely interacts with adidasMiCoach application.

It is a multiplatform application, can be found on all platforms we want, even on the web. Then we leave the links so you can try them on the platform you please:

Then we leave a little guide on how to create training plans via the web on google docs presentation format or pdf:

Our Analysis

More than fantastic sports application. It's almost a coach. We provide training plans of high quality, which fit a profile and objectives. Yes there is a negative comment , this is your social network, since an application is not well known yet and it does not have methods to keep connected to their users , such as Endomondo or have other Runtastic. It must also improve its interaction with social networks like Facebook. However, these are aspects or characteristics that can gradually getting better, and it's nothing to worry about. The application continues to be one of the best in the world in this field. A great alternative for those who can not afford a coach, nor have much idea in the world of training. A great note for the application:

For the people who want try to lose, gain or maintenance weight, we thought that it is the application that needs. Really, the fact of being able to take a strict registry, which is made a little tired at the outset, but that later, to register everything what we eat, becomes a simple merit proceeding. To be able to follow, our positive balance and negative newspaper is a feedback that contributes a benefit to us in our diet. 

For this entrance we have wanted to realise a small presentation that shows the use of the application superficially, so that thus observeis what we are telling you. You can see, click on the next link (on the picture):

Our opinion:

Fantastic application, for us is perfect in all the senses. In addition the fact to being able to interact with other applications or bracelets of registry of physical activity like endomondo, runtastic, Google Fit or IOS health causes that the application clears the perfection.
