Understanding the 100-point index

The index converts the published five-point rating using a fixed scale. It preserves order and ties; it is neither a new performance measurement nor a quality percentage.

85–100Excellent

70–84Very strong

55–69Good

40–54Notable trade-offs

0–39Limited

For example: 3.0/5 → 36; 4.0/5 → 64; 4.5/5 → 81; 5.0/5 → 100.

Index = 100 × (rating out of 5 ÷ 5)², rounded to the nearest integer.

Equal original ratings keep an equal index. Adding models does not change the scale.

Comparison guidelines

0 points: equal index. 1–7: small gap. 8–14: visible advantage. 15 or more: large gap. These are editorial guidelines, not statistical significance thresholds.

Indices derived from external reviews retain their original rating and source. Methods and dates may differ, so these comparisons do not declare an automatic winner.

Strengths

Integrated barometer and wrist-based running power
Structured training and recovery tracking

Weaknesses

MIP display rather than AMOLED
Polar’s manual lists different battery figures: 7 days and 35 h with GPS and wrist heart rate. Actual battery life depends on settings and use.

WHO SHOULD SKIP IT

Skip it if you want an AMOLED display. Check phone compatibility and battery condition before buying.

Older-generation model: check condition, warranty and currently supported features before buying.
