Polar M600: The Smartwatch for Sports Enthusiasts

Sports watches and smartwatches are also a big topic at Ispo. Managing Director Thomas Seifert introduces us to the M600, a watch that is both a sports watch and a smartwatch. Runners and cyclists can also look forward to a well-functioning heart rate monitor on their wrist. You can see what else this innovative watch can do in our trade fair video.

Sport smartwatch with heart rate measurement on the wrist

Consumers want a watch that they can wear 24/7 twenty four seven. So not just for sport, but also for everyday wear and for sleeping. I wear the M600. It's a smartwatch that combines the best of both worlds. The Polar M600 has the training function with 6-diode measurement. The measurement on the wrist is therefore very accurate. GPS measures speed, distance and also mapping. In total, this watch has over 100 functions for training. It is compatible with iOS and other smartwatches. You can download up to 4,000 apps and upload music. For example mapping, voice app or weather apps.

Polar Smartwach running training - transfer performance data with app

If I think of a question while running, I can ask it directly to Google via the watch and leave my island of isolation. With the smartwatch, it is possible to train at any moment, receive messages and make phone calls. The issue of permanent availability has migrated to the watch sector. If you don't want to be disturbed, there is a function to turn off this accessibility.

When you're out and about, you can read what you want on your watch without having to take your smartphone out of your pocket. I still control the watch via my smartphone. However, voice commands and the touch function work just as well. I can see my emails, text messages and messages in short text. The polar function includes training and running (the heart rate measurement function starts automatically here). The diodes detect the pulse via the change in brightness in the arteries. This is very smart. However, movement also influences the pulse measurement. At €349, it offers excellent value for money. The future lies in the areas of voice control, payment function, body data, training function and everyday life.

When you're out and about, you can read what you want on your mobile watch and no longer have to take your smartphone out of your pocket. I still control the watch via my smartphone. But I can also control it directly using voice commands and the touch function. I can also see my emails, text messages and messages in short text. The polar functions include training, running (where the heart rate measurement function starts automatically). The diodes take the pulse based on the change in brightness in the arteries. This is very smart. The movement also affects the measurement of the pulse. The watch has a top price-performance ratio and is priced at €349. The future lies in the areas of voice control, payment function, body data, training function and everyday life.
