Body composition
Measure your body composition, such as your skeletal muscle mass or fat mass.
•
This feature is only for your general wellness and fitness. Therefore, do not
use it for medical purposes, such as diagnosing the symptoms, treatment, or
prevention of disease.
•
Do not measure your body composition if you have an implanted cardiac
pacemaker, defibrillator, or if any other electronic device is inside of your body.
•
A low electric current goes through your body when measuring your body
composition. Although it is harmless to humans, do not measure your body
composition if you are pregnant.
•
For accurate measurements, wear the Watch firmly around your lower arm above
the wrist. Refer to
How to wear the Watch for accurate measurements
for more
information.
•
For accurate body composition measurements, you must enter your actual
height, weight, and gender on the Samsung Health app profile of the connected
phone, and also enter your actual birthday on your Samsung account. If the
measured body composition results are inaccurate, check your user profile in the
Samsung Health app on the phone and modify it.
•
Unlike professional body composition measuring instruments, the Watch, which
has to be worn your wrist, measures the upper body’s composition and estimates
your entire body’s composition to provide the results. Therefore the measured
body composition results may be inaccurate in the following cases: when your
upper and lower body’s composition is too unbalanced, when you are extremely
obese, or when you have a very large amount of muscles.
