V800, the very popular new triathlon watch from Polar, is likely to be out of stock during the later half of June according to the Heart Rate Watch Company.
"If you want a V800, you need to buy it fast because quantities are limited and we are likely to see a potential stock outage of several weeks in late June," says Rusty Squire, President of the Heart Rate Watch Company. He adds, "We have plenty right now but they are selling fast, so if you want one you need to act soon."
Why V800 Is So Popular
"It is the only watch capable of doing a full Ironman and lasting 14 hours at one second recording intervals that has Bluetooth Smart for mobile data transfer," says Squire. He adds, "It also does heart rate variability and measures 24/7 activity."
"Right now among the rest of the contenders, the Garmin 910XT and the Suunto Ambit 2 don't have Bluetooth Smart and don't do 24/7 activity tracking," says Squire. He adds, "None of the other contenders can do heart rate in the water either, while the V800 does."
Availability and Pricing
"For right now, the Polar V800 in black with the Polar H7 Bluetooth strap is the only model available for $499.95," says Squire. He adds, "The Polar V800 in Blue, both with and without heart rate, will be available in late August at $449.95 and $499.95 respectively."
"We will be selling the V800 in black without heart rate for $449.95 by removing the Polar H7 strap from the bundles as a concession to our customers that already own a Polar H7 strap," says Squire.
"I really can't stress how important it is to get an order this next week if you want one of these," says Squire. He adds, "Otherwise you may be having to wait into July to get a V800."
Sensors
"Polar V800 works with the Polar Stride Sensor Bluetooth Smart to get run cadence and there will be available bike sensors later this summer in Bluetooth," says Squire. He adds, "Many of the power meter manufacturers are already switching over to Bluetooth as is Polar with the Look/Keo power pedals."
Talk To The Experts
"If you want to talk with a real expert, then simply call us at 866-586-7129," says Squire. He adds, "We think you'll appreciate working with a company that tests and uses the products they sell because it does indeed make a big difference in product knowledge."
