To recap

This second-gen watch brings in some of the nicer software features from Polar’s Vantage V2 and Grit X and wraps it all up in a more stylish look. However, it still lacks the big smartwatch features that might see you to go for a similarly priced Garmin instead. But if you want a great tracking experience where data and insights are at the heart, then the M2 is one option for you.
