"Overall this is a nice, but fully expected, upgrade of the M400... The added long-battery life modes for GPS activities are pretty cool however, and definitely unique in the segment."

" if you’re looking at mid-range running watches, and especially ones with structured training plans – there’s no better value in the ballpark than the M430 (or the M400 if you don’t care about optical). And Polar did do a good job at making precisely the updates that folks wanted to see in an M400 successor."
