* '''Where am I? '''The V800 has no navigation features. If you're lost, the V800 is probably only useful as a reflector to signal for help.

* '''What's my cadence? '''[[Cadence]]''' '''is one of the most critical and often overlooked aspects of running. If you get your Cadence right, many other things naturally fall into place. The V800 has limited support for a [[Footpod]], no support for Cadence from the internal accelerometer, and no Cadence alerts. It's better than nothing, but it's not pretty grim for a high end watch.

<span style='color:#FF0000'>The V800 is not has a good choice for ultrarunners, as its 50 hour battery life is too shortif you activate extended mode which reduces the GPS accuracy. See [[Shoes#Watches for Ultrarunning| Watches for Ultrarunning]] for more details.</span>[[File:Polar V800.jpg|none|thumb|200px|The {{Polar V800}}.]]

=Polar V800 Pros=

* The Polar V800 has considerably better [[GPS Accuracy]] than any other GPS watch I've tested. It's better than some of the older devices that have surprisingly good GPS Accuracy, and it's far better than most of the newer devices that have mediocre to appalling accuracy. (Note that even the V800 does not have sufficient GPS accuracy to give a good display of current pace.)
