Right of the bat, Puma Smartwatch looks like a typical sports wearable.
You get an aluminum dial packed in a buckle-based silicon strap with matte finish, three color options, and a touch-enabled 1.19-inch AMOLED display with 390x390 pixel resolution.
The body of the watch isn't scratch resistant but it is swim-proof, thanks to water resistance up to 50m.
