  • 20 days activity tracking-only autonomy

Polar M430 will go on pre-order later this month, priced at $229 USD/€229 EUR. The three color options available are orange, dark gray, and white. According to Polar's official blog, shipments are scheduled to begin in May. We will get back to it as soon that happens, since some details might still be missing at this stage.

Although I have been writing about new software and hardware for almost a decade, I consider myself to be old school. I always enjoy listening to music on CD or tape instead of digital files and I will not even get into the touchscreen vs physical keys debate. However, I also enjoy new technology, as I now have the chance to take a look at the future every day. I joined the Notebookcheck crew back in 2013 and I have no plans to leave the ship anytime soon.
