• Among the various exercise types, only walking, running, elliptical workouts,
rowing, and cycling can be measured.
• The automatic exercise recognition feature measures the distance travelled and
calories burnt using the acceleration sensor. The measurements may not be
accurate depending on your walking and exercise routines.
Heart rate
Measure and record your heart rate.
• The Gear’s heart rate tracker 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 following conditions before measuring your heart rate:
• 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.
• Heart rate measurements may vary depending on the measurement method and the
environment they are taken in.
• 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.
