QuestionWhat size watch band does the Polar M400 come in?I Want to purchase this for my mother. She has quite a small wrist. I purchased a polar M400 in the past and enjoyed it. The only issue is how the strap is a little large on me, however it really isn't a a problem for me. My mom on the other hand may be more sensitive to it having such a large watch band on it.. So my question is, does this watch come in different sizes such as large,medium and small?
Asked 9 years ago by Paul.
- Answer The M400 wrist band length is 9 1/2 inches. There is a newer pink version that has become available recently that is just under 9 inches in length. - Mike @ Polar USA

QuestionWill it keep track of swim distance in a lake.
Asked 8 years ago by Dominic.
- Answer The M400 does not have any swim metrics in the programming of the watch. We would recommend Polar's V800. As it is designed for the multisport athlete, it has the ability to record speed/distance both indoors (in a pool) or outdoors (open water) - Mike @ PolarUSA
