One might say I have a slight obsession with Henry Cavill and these people are not far from the truth. I admire how he not only looks like a real-life Superman but is also a down to earth guy who loves working out almost as much as assembling gaming PCs and video games. And, as it turns out, he also likes running watches and one brand in particular.

In a recent interview, Bodybuilding.com askedMuscleTech’s Chief Creative Directora series of questions, such as what’s his favourite exercise (although we already knew thatHenry Cavill’s favourite exerciseare squats) and what advice would he give his younger self (“It’s not meant to be easy”, Word!).

The question that surprised me the most was when Henry was asked about his favourite fitness tech. He could’ve named anything from theJaxJox DumbbellConnectto theVitruvian V-form Trainer, yet he said the fitness gadget he can’t live without is arunning watch. And not even one of thebest Garmin watches.

No, Henry Cavill’s favourite fitness gadget is a different wearable, or more precisely, aPolar watch, presumably thePolar Vantage V2.

Watch the clip:

As Henry explains, “I get a lot out of that [watch]. I could do my workouts without [my Polar watch], but it would be a lot more hassle. It can track how many calories I burned, and it’s super useful for my running.”

Although he doesn’t specifically mention the Vantage V2, I assume that’s the watch he uses because A) it’s the flagship model, and I’m sure he can afford it B) the Vantage V2 has several helpful training and recovery tools that can help optimise running and cardio training in general.

Of course, it’s possible that he uses the equally decentPolar Vantage M2or even thePolar Ignite 2, but I feel like a Ventage V2 would suit Henry the most. Maybe he will change his preferred multisport watch to the newGarmin Fenix 7now that it comes with a built-in flashlight.
