Packaging/appearance
If youre invested in the polar ecosystem then it is a worthy upgrade from the v800 for the 247 hr and sleep tracking

Competitiveness
Although it is probably a little larger than the v800 it feels lighter and smaller which has been a huge plus
Tried a garmin forerunner 735xt before this but hated it
Now after updating the watchs software and using it for a while i can say that i love it
