By default a normal user is not a member of the dialout group.
Check by "id" that you are a member of dialout at this time.

I checked it today on a new installation but with Kubuntu 18.10 and now with the Polar FlowSync 3.0.0.1337 version.
By default setup like my test report it dosen't work.
You need to install also the libhidapi-hidraw0 and pd-hid packages on kubuntu to use hid devices. I think i installed the packages a time before.
> Please test<
Disconnect the watch from the computer
start wine cmd
>net start winebus
Der Dienst Platform Bus Kernel startet.
Dienst läuft bereits.
----
connect the Watch
start the FlowSync app
If you conncet the watch before starting wine cmd, you wil get an timeout error and wine can't load the WineHID driver (wine need more time to load)
If you connect the watch after starting the flow app the app will not find the watch.

Kubuntu 18.10
Wine 3.0.3
Q4Wine 1.3.7
1. I start a terminal run wine cmd
2. connect the watch
3. Start Polar Flow sync from desktop
4. the sync will start.
it can be a problem that the V800 use a different interface. My V650 will also not work :(
