FAQ:

What is the difference between the Polar A300 and Polar M400? 

Both models will come standard with an USB cable, both models can be purchased in combination with the Polar H7 heart rate sensor.

The most important differences are that the A300 has a removable wristband and the M400 does not, whereas the M400 has an integrated GPS sensor and does also keep the training load, both absent from the A300.

Important to know: The Polar A300 and M400 work with smart Bluetooth. The Polar T31 chest straps work on frequency. Therefore, this cannot be used in combination. All new models from Polar do work with smart Bluetooth.
