Smart watches and fitness bracelets are rapidly gaining popularity among urban residents. Such gadgets are purchased to track daily activity, as well as to track sports results during training.

What the Polar M600 watch looks like: description, photo

This device can be purchased in two colors: on a black or white strap. The main unit in both cases is black with a metal edging.

The strap is made of silicone, it has a metal buckle and a pair of fasteners. The size can be adjusted to suit your needs.

The design of smart watches is similar to the design of fitness bracelets: the capsule is threaded into a silicone bracelet. This is a distinctive feature of the Polar M600 compared to other smartwatches. Probably, manufacturers sought to combine the functionality of a smart device and the design of a sports accessory in one device. Therefore, this watch is not intended for everyday wear with casual clothing.

A small touch screen with a diagonal of 1.3 inches and a resolution of 240x240 is optimal for using the watch indoors and outdoors. During training, information appears in a larger format; the rest of the time the font is small.

There are only two buttons on the watch: one is located on the side to turn the device on and off, adjust the brightness, and one is located under the screen to control and record physical activity.

The complete set of the device includes a charger and instructions.

Charging cable 4-pin. Accordingly, it will not be possible to charge the watch with another charger if yours wears out.

The watch is of average weight compared to similar equipment, but it is almost imperceptible on the hand.
