I have a conversation with Polar support, check many sites searching for the solution, but nothing helps. M430 simply isn’t accurate at the beginning of training.<br />I wrote my (honest) review with the video which shows the problem and compares optical measuring HR and strap measuring HR.<br />Here is my problem which should check every potential buyer:<br /><a href="http://kacnje.blogspot.com/2018/02/polar-m430-unusable-optical-heart-rate.html" rel="nofollow">Polar M430 review</a>Iztok Grilchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13353240427365335622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-57344024846060583272017-09-22T20:42:07.710-06:002017-09-22T20:42:07.710-06:00I' ve seen the reviews of the best compass wat...I' ve seen the reviews of the best compass watches and it's fascinating to know.

The Polar Flow app is also pretty good and, frankly, was one of the key reasons I had for buying this over the Garmin FR235. Making the two pieces work together, however, has been a nightmare with continual syncing issues between the M430 and my Google Pixel. Comments on the Google Play Store echo my experience and the "fix" from Polar really does not work for more than a day or two. At this point, I am ready to put the M430 in a drawer, eat the loss, and buy the FR235 unless Polar can provide a solid workable solution.TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17446846735316278353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-78027848682404791882017-07-01T13:51:42.958-06:002017-07-01T13:51:42.958-06:00Duathlon,

Polar may have changed how it looks achieving activity goals but not sure and will find out. I see in the Daily Activity Goal on your Settings that it asks you to pick one of 3 levels of intensity of your daily activities I picked High Intensity: jogging, running, other intense activities. I do agree I always go way over 100% but look at the score relatively speaking. So for example I took a day off from running yesterday, worked all day at my desk and was 23%, the day before I ran 5 miles at a light tempo and was 125%, the day before that 10 miles also light tempo and as I suffer from some allergies noticed my HR was higher for pace than expected that day so ended up 254%.<br />Sam.

Note that as 35 is now on sale at $200 I suspect a new model may be on the way. <br />Battery life is lower for M430 in Best mode at 8 hours but in Good at a lower power mode, also 1sec sampling can go to 12 hours, one hour more than 235 and 35 spec. And M430 can at one minute sampling extend to 30 hours which I don't think either 35 and 235 offer. In terms of screens the 35 has an identical 128x128 monochrome display maybe a touch more legible than M430 due to the larger fatter digits but less ability to go to 4 data fields if I recall. The 235 has a 215 x 180 larger screen with some color.<br />The 35 worked well on my small wrist for HR, the 235 less so, with M430 the most reliable due to its shape and overall sensing approach but the Garmin are fine. Really the only areas 24/7 are very useful is if you do many activities during the day beyond running to get at your overall cardiac intensity automatically without starting activities (M430) and for getting at sleep quality via combining HRV (Heart Rate Variability) and movement and Garmin does not yet analyze sleep that way. As far a platform for training, web site and app while Garmin is super data rich PolarFlow of me is far more usable and has deeper training features and deeper HR insights. Hope this helpful.<br />Sam. Editor<br />Thanks for reading Road Trail Run.!

You will reach 100 % with an M430 with about the same activity that an M400 will track as about 60-70 %. So you will reach your activity goals ridiculously easy with an M430. What's more, the displayed amounts of activity to reach 100% are completely nonsense on an M430. The M430 is a great sports watch to monitor training sessions with HRM/GPS. But when it comes to activity tracking, it's in my point of view a bummer!
