Wearing the Galaxy Watch correctly
•
When you activate the auto heart rate tracking feature, or when the Galaxy Watch
recognizes your exercise, the Galaxy Watch will automatically track your heart rate. When
measuring your heart rate, wear the Galaxy Watch snugly on your arm above your wrist
as shown in the figure below.
•
If you fasten the Galaxy Watch too tightly, skin irritation may occur and if you fasten it too
loosely, friction may occur.

•
The accuracy of the heart rate sensor may be reduced depending on measurement
conditions and surroundings.
•
Use the HR feature only for measuring your heart rate.
•
Do not look directly at the heart rate sensor’s lights. Doing so may impair your
vision. Make sure children do not look directly at the lights.
•
Cold ambient temperatures may affect your measurement; during winter or cold
weather keep yourself warm when checking your heart rate.
•
Take heart rate measurements when you are seated and relaxed. Do not move your
body while taking heart rate measurements. Doing so may cause your heart rate to
be recorded inaccurately.
•
If you receive a reading that is very different from your expected heart rate, rest for
30 minutes and then measure again.
