The model is presented in two sizes – 47 mm and 51 mm, both equipped with a 1.4-inch AMOLED display protected by sapphire glass. The case is made of titanium bezel, the buttons have additional protection against moisture, and the sensors are covered with a metal cover. The device is certified according to military standards for temperature and shock resistance, waterproof to a depth of 40 meters.
