See-through design: A crisp, refreshing look for seaside fun

Translucent resin is used for the bezel, creating a see-through design that shows the internal construction of the watch through the material’s tinted hues. Solid colours are used for the band, with options of black and blue. While creating a unified colour tone with the bezel, the design brings out textural contrast. Carbon fibre-reinforced resin is used for the centre case, and coloured IP is applied to the mode button.

Digital face with MIP LCD: Striking display of tide graphs

The digital display employs a high-definition, high-contrast MIP LCD with a wide viewing angle. The full-dot display, capable of fine, detailed rendering, enables information-rich display that combines numerical values and graphics. The tide graph depicts the ocean waves, a feature befitting the G-LIDE line’s dedication to the active seaside life.

Heart rate monitor and accelerometer: Useful for everyday workouts

Equipped with training functions that support four different activities. The heart rate monitor tracks and displays the body’s condition during exercise in real time, while the accelerometer provides measurements including step count and distance traveled. Pairing with smartphone GPS enables precision distance calibration as well. Also, the use of carbon fibre-reinforced resin for the case back minimises the weight, for a lighter feel on the wrist.

Training and sleep analysis: Support for exercise management

The timepiece evaluates and analyses the wearer’s current performance and condition based on body data captured by the watch. Data analysis utilises heart rate-focused training insights powered by Polar’s best-in-class library. Utilising scientifically supported, highly reliable results enables fine-tuning of training efforts and helps maintain efficient performance.

Smartphone Link: Connectivity for active lifestyles

Smartphone pairing via Bluetooth® delivers automatic time correction and makes it easy to configure tide graph settings (for about 3,300 points around the world) from the app. Tracked data can also be sent to a paired smartphone and checked in training logs and life logs. Detailed training and sleep analysis data and more can be reviewed as well.

Solar-assisted charging

Use USB charging for the heart rate monitor, step tracker and notifications. Time display is powered by solar charging alone when the battery runs low.
