To guarantee a more accurate heart rate measurement, wear the watch correctly and ensure the strap is
fastened. Make sure that your watch is secure on your wrist. Ensure that the watch body is in direct
contact with your skin without any obstructions.
Heart rate measurement during an individual workout
During a workout, your watch can display your real-time heart rate and heart rate zone, and
notify you when your heart rate exceeds the upper limit. For the best training result, you are
advised to choose a workout based on your heart rate zone.
l
Setting the heart rate zone calculation method
The heart rate interval can be calculated based on the maximum heart rate percentage or
HRR percentage. To set the heart rate interval calculation method, open the Huawei
Health app, go to
Me > Settings > Heart rate limit and zones
and set
Calculation
method
to either
Maximum heart rate percentage
or
HRR percentage
.
l
If you select
Maximum heart rate percentage
as the calculation method, the heart rate zone
for different types of workout activities (Extreme, Anaerobic, Aerobic, Fat-burning, and
Warm-up) is calculated based on your maximum heart rate ("220
–
your age" by default).
Heart rate = Maximum heart rate x Maximum heart rate percentage.
l
If you select HRR percentage as the calculation method, the heart rate interval for different
types of workout activities (Advanced anaerobic, Basic anaerobic, Lactic acid, Advanced
aerobic, and Basic aerobic) is calculated based on your heart rate reserve (HRmax - HRrest).
Heart rate = Heart rate reserve x Heart rate reserve perc Resting heart rate.
l
The heart rate zone calculation methods while you are running are not affected by the settings
in the Huawei Health app. For most running courses,
HRR percentage
is selected by default.
Your watch will display different colors when your heart rate reaches corresponding
zones during a workout. The following figure shows how heart rate is displayed during
an outdoor run.
