Product Information

As a Polar M600 user myself,I like to add on to your comments, for navigation, one can also install citymapper. It comes with a cycling routing that can prompt our watch for turn by turn navigation. This beat many garmin watches (i have garmin 735xt myself) where you have to create a course on garmin connect to have simple turn by turn navigation. This app is very good for travel overseas if the country you go to is supported by the app. The M600 has an internal, rechargeable battery. Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles. You can charge and discharge the battery over 300 times before a notable decrease in its capacity. The number of charge cycles also varies according to use and operating conditions. The accuracy of all Android Wear devices will probably be the same regardless of app (location service handled by OS), but Ghostracer has some options for recording settings so you can at least fine tune the experience. The moto body app for example is hopeless in this sense because it uses way too frequent recording setting that just creates a zig zag route and overestimates distance quite a bit. Needless to say that I get much more realistic distance estimation with Ghostracer. As far as music goes, creating a playlist in Google Music, and being able to add and/or remove any song on whim, knowing your phone will sync with the web version automatically as well the M600 syncing automatically with your phone is AWESOME. Could not be easier and more fun. When the charge in your M600's battery drops down to 15% or less, you'll see a notification stating the charge level and the status of battery saver mode. You can tap the notification to Turn on/off battery saver. The battery saver mode will automatically turn on when the battery charge level hits 5%.

If that number begins to drop, it’s a sign your aerobic performance is declining. Alongside the actual numerical score you’re also given a ranking based on your age and gender.The Polar M600 is water-resistant to 10 metres (IPX8 rating), so you’re free to wear the watch in the shower or swim to your heart’s content. This means that, not only are you getting Polar’s sporting expertise and a veritable trove of sensors – including built-in GPS – but you’re also getting smartwatch functionality and apps. When you've finished charging the battery of your M600, remove the charging cable from the USB port of your computer or from the wall adapter. If the charging cable is left connected to a power source, the magnetic end of the cable attracts iron-containing objects and can short-circuit, possibly causing circuit damage, overheating, fire or explosion. On the watch itself, all that info is presented in brief under the My Day part of Flow (just for that current day) but inside the smartphone app, it's much more detailed. One of the best parts of My Day is you can see what activity you need to perform to make your daily goal; whether that be running, walking or just standing up. I’m glad you pointed out that people should buy based on what it’s capable of doing now and not some planned update. It would be a no then for the m600. Polar has a habit of hinting at new features and bug fixes that are supposed to come out in some future update and then taking a long time to implement it. It took them almost a year after announcing it to add wrist based cadence measurement to the m400. We’re still waiting for the wrist based pace measurement which they announced also, which I’m assuming will now never come. I have my doubts that they will update m600 to Wear 2.0. People should not buy based on a supposed 2.0 update.

y por ultimo, como hago para gestionar las app que tengo en el reloj? shazan, spoty, etc, a traves de la app de Android Wear no puedo…. And in my case, despite not being a math genius to know which one was wrong: The M600. Basically, it doesn’t seem to like cycling. It was consistently under the entire time, even during harder efforts like at the beginning.

Ok, now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s dive into accuracy on two specific fronts: Optical HR & GPS. This section is all about optical HR accuracy, whereas the next is about GPS accuracy. I can see myself using the watch all the time. It’s not gorgeous, but it’s not as ugly as it looks in pictures either. Most of your interaction will be via the 1.3-inch touchscreen, though. At 240 x 240, it’s far from a high-resolution affair, even when condensed down to the small size.
