Key features
INTEGRATED GPS
Built-in GPS keeps track of your pace, distance and altitude during
training. You can view your route on a map in the Polar Flow app or
Flow web ser vice after your session.
WRIST BASED HE ART RATE TRAINING
Your M4 30 has a built-in heart rate sensor that measures your heart
rate from the wrist. This makes heart-rate based training more
convenient than ever.
24/7 ACTIVITY TRACKING AND CONTINUOUS HEART RATE
Your M4 30 tracks your steps, activity, sleep and calories 24/7,
and supports you in achieving your individual daily activity goal.
The Continuous Heart Rate feature enables a more accurate
measurement of daily calorie consumption and your overall activity
because physical activities with very little wrist movement can also
be tracked.
RUNNING PROGRAM
Train for a running event with a personal and adaptive training plan
in Polar Flow. Choose from four different targets: 5K, 10K, half
marathon or marathon, and get a training plan that ts you and your
goals.

By measuring your heart rate when training you make sure you train
at the right intensity level for your goal. And you get just the benets
you want to achieve.
Wrist-based heart rate measurement is convenient and easy. Tighten
the wrist band for training, start a training session on your M4 30,
and you’re ready to go.
To get accurate heart rate readings during training, secure the wrist
band rmly on top of your wrist, just behind the wrist bone. Do NOT
place the running watch on top of the wrist bone. The sensor on the
back must be touching your skin, but the wrist band should not be
too tight.
