V800 will then wake up and start charging. Let your computer install
any suggested USB drivers.
Charging
V800 wakes up when you plug it to a computer or a USB charger. If
the battery is completely empty, it takes a couple of minutes for the
charging animation to appear.

browser. Create a Polar account or sign in if you already have one.
Fill in your physical details to get personal guidance and an accurate

TRACK YOUR DAILY ACTIVITY

status based on all your daily activity. It tracks every movement with its
integrated activity tracker. It also tracks your sleep, and tells you how
much of it was restful sleep.
* Most accurate with heart rate measurement

ORTHOSTATIC TEST **

Allows you to optimize your training and avoid overtraining by showing
how your heart rate responds to exercise and other factors such as stress
and illness. The test shows your heart rate during rest, active standing
up and standing, and compares it with the average of your previous test
results. By repeating the test regularly, you'll notice if there are any
untypical heart rate responses.

JUMP TEST ***

Helps you estimate your leg muscular strength and power output, as well
as neuromuscular fatigue. You can do three different types of jump tests:
squat, countermovement and continuous.

BACK TO START

Guides you back to the starting point of your session, or any saved POI
(point-of-interest).

ROUTE GUIDANCE

Sync your favorite routes from the Polar Flow web service to your V800,
and it'll guide you along the way to explore new paths.

SWIMMING METRICS

Easily track your swimming performance with automatic detection of
your swimming style, distance, pace, strokes and rest times. Analyze
each swim, and follow your performance and progress in the long run.
In addition, with the help of the SWOLF score you can improve your
swimming technique. All swimming metrics can be measured with pool
swimming and swimming sport profiles. Open water swimming supports
distance and strokes.
