Polar Sport profiles in Flow Web Service
There are seven default sport profiles in the Polar app on your M600. You can add and remove sports from the list in the Polar Flow web service. You can also define specific settings for each sport profile.
The Polar app on your M600 can contain a maximum of 20 sport profiles. If you have over 20 sport profiles in the web service, the first 20 in the list will sync to the Polar app. You can change the order of the sport profiles by dragging and dropping them in the Polar Flow web service.

Please note that in a number of indoor sports, group sports and team sports profiles the HR visible to other devices setting is enabled by default. This means that compatible devices using Bluetooth Smart wireless technology, e.g. gym equipment, can detect your heart rate. You can check which sport profiles have Bluetooth broadcasting enabled by default from the Polar Sport profiles list. You can enable or disable Bluetooth broadcasting from sport profile settings.
