The M600 is the latest offering from Polar, who are known for bringing smarts into sports. Polar have nearly 40 years of experience and a proud heritage in innovative physiological and sports medical research. They are the pioneers in heart rate monitoring, activity trackers and training computers; they created the first heart rate monitor, the first activity tracker and now the first fully functioning smart watch truly made for sports.

The M600 works on both iOS and Android platforms, giving the most impressive coaching and activity tracking software on any smart watch today. This watch has few buttons - two actually, because the M600 is touch screen. The main front button activates the activity app. Once a workout session has begun. pressing the same button will pause or stop it. You can navigate backwards with a screen swipe, but there is also an easily accessible second button on the side that guides you back.

The watch can have a continuous display or a display that flicks on when you move your hand to look at it. I found this out on the first night I wore the watch, as every time I moved in my sleep the watch would light up, and apparently I move a surprising amount in my sleep! The next morning, my wife told me that she was woken throughout the night as the watch flooded the room with light. I found that a double press of the side button would disengage this facility, which made my wife very happy. The charging cable connects magnetically to the back of the watch, which is one of the easiest systems Polar have come up with. There is talk of a two-day battery life, but I found this M600 to have a much better life than that, and it only takes about an hour to charge to full capability.

The watch is fully waterproofed and has a huge amount of activities you can choose from to track your workout. The watch has 6 LED lights on the back to monitor heart rate (having more apparently makes it more accurate), and it also couples up with a Polar H7 heart rate chest strap if you prefer. As you would expect, the M600 has GPS mapping and a Polar app that is very easy to read a navigate. The watch itself has so much information to offer that it is easier to dissect it on the phone app, rather than the watch’s 1.3-inch screen.

The M600 itself is rugged and big, which I really like. I use it every day and it hasn’t even got a scratch on it. The watch has interchangeable straps currently in black or white, and a soon to be released red. All in all, Polar M600 is a great fitness watch that looks awesome. Polar lead the way in this type of technology and it is ever present with the M600.
