Measuring your heart rate
To get your heart rate reading, follow these three simple steps:

2. place your finger on the watch’s heart rate sensor (the stainless steel
top ring) and touch gently for 5-8 seconds (the heart icon will flash).

accidentally trigger the heart rate feature.
3. The health Touch™ watch will beep and your heart rate will be
To activate the heart rate lock:
displayed in beats per minute (BpM).
1. in Time of Day, hold rEsET for 3 seconds.
2. The “l”icon will appear, and if you try to measure
your heart rate, the message “hr OFF” will display.
Your heart rate reading will remain displayed for 6 seconds after you
remove your finger from the heart rate sensor.
This watch is a sensitive monitoring device that reads your Ecg signals
and reading times may vary. if you do not get a reading, remove your
finger from the bezel for 30 seconds and try again. if you still do not get
a reading refer to the Troubleshooting - heart rate section.
3. To unlock the heart rate feature, repeat step 1.
NoTe: if you need to take a heart rate reading while the watch is
“locked”, there is an override to this feature. press rEsET, and while the
“l” is flashing, measure your heart rate. Once the heart rate is displayed,
the lock feature is reinstated.
heart rate lock
The heart rate lock feature prevents triggering the heart rate feature
from accidental contact and environments where excessive water/
moisture is present. an example would be in a pool where the watch is

if your heart rate is lower than your target zone lower limit, the watch will
relative heart rate
beep twice and your heart rate will display with the message “ZOnE-lo”.
relative heart rate is your current heart rate divided by your maximum
heart rate, and can be a useful reference to manage how hard you are
working during your exercise.
if your heart rate is higher than your target zone upper
limit, the watch will beep twice and your heart rate will
display with the message “ZOnE-hi”.
• Maximum heart rate is calculated as:
Male: 220 minus your age; Female: 226 minus your age
• Your relative heart rate will be displayed as a percentage below your
BpM heart rate.
Example: Debbie’s target zone is 80 BpM (low) to 120
BpM (high). after 5 minutes of walking, Debbie
measures her heart rate at 72 BpM. she is under her
target zone and can decide to pick up her pace.
Target heart rate Zone
The Target heart rate Zone feature compares your
measured heart rate with your targeted heart rate zone.
Target heart rate Zone setup
You can customize the settings in your watch to more
accurately determine calories burned and to set a
personalized target zone. The following chart provides
some heart rate target ranges for your reference.

if your heart rate is within the target zone, the watch
will beep once and your heart rate will display with the
message “ZOnE-in”.

Care and Maintenance
To ensure proper function of your heart rate Watch:
Troubleshooting – heart rate
if you are having difficulty measuring your heart rate, you may want to try
the following steps. Try each of these in succession until you are able to
measure your heart rate:
1. Make sure the watch is snugly strapped to your wrist. a loose fit
makes it more difficult to properly measure your heart rate.
2. When touching the heart rate sensor, make sure you are using the
soft, flat pad of your finger, not the tip of your finger.
3. press gently with enough pressure to activate the heart rate measure
function. Muscle “noise” from pressing too hard can make it difficult to
measure your heart rate.
•
The watch buttons are not intended for use in or under water as this
will compromise the watch’s water resistance.
avoid rough usage or severe impacts to the watch.
Keep the top ring sensor and the case back plate free from dirt, oils, or
other contaminants.
periodically clean the watch using a soft cloth with mild soap and
water, or similar cleaning solution.
Keep the watch out of extreme heat or cold.
Do not expose the watch to intense direct sunlight for long periods
of time.

lotions.
6. stay still, and relax your arms on a stable surface while taking your
heart rate.
7. clean the top ring sensor and the case back metal plate with a mild
