The Polar M400 GPS Sports Training Watch for runners features GPS data, training performance functions and 24/7 activity tracking so not only your your training effort but also your lifestyle is monitored and recorded against your self-set fitness targets. Feedback congratulates you for reaching those targets or provides suggestions how you can improve further towards meeting your personal fitness goals to provide you with personalised Smart Coaching in action.

The Polar M400 synchronises with the Polar Flow website service and smartphone app via Bluetooth Smart to give you the tools, statistics and support you need to challenge yourself with realistic new goals, to effectively review and analyse your training sessions and to become more self-aware about your everyday activity level given your current lifestyle.

The accurate integral GPS function of the Polar M400 provides pace, distance and altitude measurement for on-the-move information as well as for storing and future analysis and progress mapping.

The Activity Guide, Activity Benefit and the OwnCal smart calories functions can monitor your activity 24 hours a day every day, including steps taken and calories expended (H7 heart-rate sensor required; not included) and can then report back if further activity is required with specific suggestions for how much more running or walking would enable you to reach your self-imposed target for the day.

The Polar M400 GPS Sports Training Watch is a really practical and encouraging way to make reaching your fitness or performance goals as satisfying and efficient as possible by recording, analysing, informing, rewarding and sometimes nudging you towards where you want you and your body to be.

Further features of the Polar M400 GPS Sports Training Watch include limited cycling and swimming functions, a breakthrough water-resistance rating for a USB port watch of 30 metres, a high-visibility screen with backlight and firmware update compatibility.

Fitness Test

The smart Fitness Test will tell you exactly what you need to know in just 5 minutes if you are looking to improve your fitness and want to keep up to date with how well you are doing. By regularly comparing your test results, you can see what progress you are making and how your fitness is improving.

Running Index

You will find this feature a big help if you want to keep on top of your running performance. Regular use over time allows you to see how efficient your running is. Your Running Index score is calculated automatically after every run based on your heart rate (H7 heart-rate sensor required) and from the speed data collected from your GPS or stride sensor. A higher reading indicates that you can run faster with less effort.

Training Benefit

Motivating feedback delivered to you straight after exercise will clearly benefit you. This feature will tell you exactly what you need to know about the effect of different training sessions. You receive a quick overview after each session and, for more detailed feedback, you can either check your training file or you can get further in-depth analysis at polarpersonaltrainer.com.

Smart Calories

OwnCal is the most accurate calorie counter available. It calculates the number of calories expended during a training session based on your weight, height, age, gender, your individual maximum heart rate (HRmax; H7 heart-rate sensor required) and how hard you are training.

Activity Guide

Activity Guide shows how active you have been during the day. It also tells you how much you need to do to reach the global recommendations for physical activity. With practical guidance like “walk for 50 minutes or jog for 20 minutes”, you can choose how to reach your daily activity target. Reach that target faster with more intense activities or you can stay active at a more moderate pace for longer through the day.

Activity Benefit

Activity Benefit tracks all your active choices during the day and shows how they help you to stay healthy. It will reward you when you have done enough and suggest you do a bit more if there is you have not met your daily activity target. Activity Benefit gives you daily, weekly and monthly feedback because the more you move, the greater the health benefits. You can check up on how you are doing from your mobile or from the web.
