Polar V650: Smart functions

Polar's V650 GPS bike computer offers numerous intelligent new features and the functions of the integrated GPS have also been expanded. The Polar V650 bike computer is operated via a colorful 2.8-inch touchscreen display, which is not far below 3.5-inch cell phones in size and also emulates smartphones in design. Equipped with Bluetooth smart, the V650 consequently also offers seamless connectivity with your smartphone (Polar Flow app - even offline). The integrated GPS records route, speed and distance and now also offers route guidance. Also included is the back-to-start function. The altitude measurement functions include barometric altitude measurement, ascent and descent, inclination measurement and now also a measurement of average ascent speed and altitude-compensated calorie consumption.

Practical extras
If the Polar Flow app is installed on the smartphone, a connection from the smartphone to the Polar V650 can be established. This way, training successes can be quickly shared with the trainer or friends. An LED front light provides additional safety when cycling in the dark. In low light conditions, the LED light turns on automatically. The Polar V650 bike computer with rechargeable battery is available from May 2014 for CHF 279.90, the V650 HR with heart rate measurement from CHF 339.90. More info at www.polarv650.com.
