To recap
If you’re looking for a sports-first smartwatch then there’s a lot to admire about the Vantage M (leaving the V model for much more advanced users). As a lifestyle smartwatch it’s not so great when it comes to features - no music support and notifications aren’t great - but, ultimately, it all boils down to what you want from your wearable.
