The coupon code doesn’t seem to apply to either watch anymore.
yes, polar have stopped it. we are trying to get it re-instated
it should now work again
Do you happen to have any color as to what “late October” means?
The Polar web site mentions November as time deliveries begin and their customer support insists that’s the case. However, both here and on Clever Training the shipping is supposed to start in late October.
I’m kind of torn… Have a marathon to run in NYC on 11/04. Would be nice to do it with Vantage 🙂
beige, everything is beige.
late october is what i have. i could be wrong. things could slip
Thanks! Decisions, decisions… Have a pre-order with Polar, but looking at the late October elsewhere vs Polar hard November makes me wonder.
Oh, well! It comes when it comes I suppose. Hopefully, there will be more information about their road plan and how all the fancy new features like Recovery Pro work before then.
The offer for UK/EU is “only” for the M one, do you know if the V will be added ?
Thank you for this blog, I spend a looot of time on it !
Hey! Welcome to the comments section.
No, the V won’t be added as things currently stand, it’s a long story. Nothing to do with Polar.
As you are in France (?) then the FX rate for USD buying from powermetercity might be better than here in the UK with GBP. The discount from PMC would make a difference to the import duties.
Yes I am from France, but with the customs it’s not worth it for me to ship from the US. Anyway thank you for sharing these and thanks for all good tips and work you do !
