The Polar bike computer is positioned as a universal assistant for various purposes and cycling styles. The model is equipped with a GPS module, which is used here for positioning: it quickly connects to satellites and tracks the distance traveled, speeds and other route data. The device also supports wireless connection technologies, including Bluetooth, which expands compatibility with various external sensors, and a heart rate monitor and cadence sensor can be included in the delivery set (this point should be additionally clarified before purchase).
The Polar M450 bike computer also has a built-in altimeter and barometer, due to which it will provide the user with information about the current altitude above sea level, the total ascent (or descent) during the workout, etc. The model received a monochrome 4-line display: it provides convenient data reading, and is also designed to simplify the initial setup procedure. Important advantages include advanced analytical data on the training process. The device can not only calculate calorie consumption, but also conduct various sports tests, including determining the oxygen consumption rate VO2max, assessing the current form, the degree of load and recovery of the body. For these purposes, proprietary software and the ability to synchronize with both a smartphone and a PC are offered.
