The Polar Vantage M is nearly £100 off for Prime Day

Most pleasingly of all, it looks a lot more stylish than past Polar efforts, and is one you can wear beyond race day.

If you do have your heard set on a Garmin, however, then Prime Day has plenty of bargains there, too. The Garmin Vivoactive 3, for example, is currently going for £130…
