Superman loves this smartwatch brand — save up to $100-plus on Polar devices and trackers

Listen, when Superman says a smartwatch is cool, we believe him. Henry Cavill has been spotted on multiple occasions wearing the Polar smartwatch brand, specifically the Polar Vantage V2. This is a powerful smartwatch that competes with major brands like Garmin and Apple and comes packed with features like a heart-rate monitor, long battery life and more. Right now you can snag the Vantage V2 for just $400, down from $450 — and you can score a lot of other marked-down Polars too.

Why is this a good deal?

At $50 off, you're scoring some pretty serious savings on this watch. Sure, it's still expensive — but it's a high-end bit of equipment that rarely goes on sale, so every little bit counts.

Why do I need this?

If it were me shopping for a fitness watch and I saw one that had Superman's seal of approval, I'd pay attention. Seriously, though, it's lightweight and has an enormous battery life. With GPS and heart rate tracking enabled, you can get up to 40 hours of battery life. With power-save options engaged, you can expand that to 100 hours. And without GPS, you're looking at seven days of battery.

It also has 10 LEDs on the underside for better skin penetration and more accurate heart rate measurements. You can also track your training load, as well as the recovery time you need, further personalizing your workout regiment. Right now, this particular model is only available in red, but never fear — there are lots of other Polar watches that are more affordable and worth looking into.

What reviewers say

"The Polar brand has always intrigued me. I always associated the Polar brand with providing incredible data points about exercise and fitness. The Vantage V2 and Polar brand do not disappoint! Admittedly, I am a person that gets easily frustrated with technology, but working out and wearing this watch for the past five days has been simple and a joy. The moment I am done with my workouts, there is a spate of data available instantaneously on the watch face," one fan said.

Another wrote, "I have been using the Vantage V2 for about a week now and it has been everything I expected when I first heard it was coming out. It is much lighter than I originally thought, which is great ,and is super stylish in design. I mainly use it for running and have tested it both on treadmill and the road — near identical results."

"Great for tracking health with a chronic illness!" one user shared. "I will be selling my other devices because I’ve finally found what I’m looking for. The only downside is the straps, but I do think this is one of the nicest-looking watches on the market."
