Heart rate
Measure and record your heart rate.
•
The Gear’s heart rate app is intended for fitness and informational purposes only
and is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the
cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease.
•
To measure your heart rate more accurately with the Gear, wear the Gear firmly
around your lower arm just above the wrist. Refer to
Wearing the Gear correctly
for
details.
Be aware of the following conditions before measuring your heart rate:
•
If you have just purchased or have reset the Gear, create your profile.
•
Rest for 5 minutes before taking measurements.
•
If the measurement is very different from the expected heart rate, rest for 30 minutes and
then measure it again.
•
During winter or in cold weather, keep yourself warm when measuring your heart rate.
•
Smoking or consuming alcohol before taking measurements may cause your heart rate
to be different from your normal heart rate.
•
Do not talk, yawn, or breathe deeply while taking heart rate measurements. Doing so
may cause your heart rate to be recorded inaccurately.
•
The accuracy of the heart rate sensor can be affected depending on the user’s
movements, personal physiology, and the measurement conditions and surroundings.
•
If the heart rate sensor is not working, check the Gear’s position on your wrist and make
sure nothing is obstructing the sensor. If the heart rate sensor continues to have the same
problem, visit a Samsung Service Centre.
