EKHO WMP-88 Heart Rate Watch
USER MANUAL

1
Our S-Pulse™ technology measures the electronic signals
that pass through your body as a result of the beating of
your heart. This measurement is obtained by the watch’s two
sensors: the top heart rate sensor and back battery door.
The battery door is actually the primary sensor plate that
measures these electronic signals off your arm.
The ECG (electrocardiogram) measurement is done when
you place your ngers from the opposite hand onto the top
sensor of the watch. This creates a loop across your body
the watch can now read.

Measuring Your Heart Rate
To get your heart rate reading, follow these three simple
steps:
1. Strap the watch snugly around your wrist.
2. Place your ngers on the watch’s
Heart Rate Sensor and touch gently for
3-8 seconds.
3. Once detected, a
beep tone sounds and
your heart rate will be
displayed in beats per
minute (bpm). It’s that
easy!

Measuring Your Heart Rate
To get your heart rate reading, follow these three simple

3-8 seconds.
3. Once detected, a
beep tone sounds and
your heart rate will be
displayed in beats per
minute (bpm). It’s that

Your % of maximum heart rate will display along with your
heart rate reading if Target Heart Rate Zone is turned ON
(refer to Target Heart Rate Zone; p.9). Your reading will
remain displayed for 6 seconds after you release 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, wait a couple of minutes and try again, or refer to
page 18 (Troubleshooting - Heart Rate).

Relative Heart Rate
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.
Maximum Heart Rate is calculated as:
Male: 220 minus your age (220 – your age)
Female: 226 – your age
Your Relative Heart Rate will be displayed as a
percentage when displaying your heart rate.
Heart Rate Lock
To prevent triggering the heart rate feature from accidental
contact and environments where excessive water/moisture
are present. An example would be in a pool where the
watch is submerged in water. Since water acts as a natural
conductor, it can accidentally trigger the heart rate feature.
1. In Time mode, hold Reset for 3
seconds.
2. The “ ” icon will appear.
3. To unlock the heart rate feature,
repeat Step 1.

9
Target Heart Rate Zone
The Target Heart Rate Zone feature helps you compare your
acquired heart rate with your targeted heart rate zone.
If your heart rate is within the target zone,
the watch will beep once and your heart rate
will display.
If your heart rate is lower than your target
zone lower limit, the watch will beep twice
and your heart rate will display with the letter
“L”.
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 letter
“H”.
Example of Relative Heart Rate:
Tom is 30 years old.
Maximum Heart Rate: 220 – age 30 = 190 bpm.
His current heart rate measured at: 133 bpm.
133/190 = 70% is Tom’s Relative Heart Rate.

10
Example: Debbie’s target zone is 80 bpm (L) to 120 bpm
(H). After 5 minutes of walking, Debbie measures her heart
rate.
If Debbie’s heart rate is “72”, she is under her target zone
and can decide to pick up her pace so her next reading falls
within her zone.

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.
Do not expose the watch to chemicals such as gasoline,
alcohol, or solvents.

Troubleshooting - Heart Rate
If you are having difculty 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 t makes it more difcult to properly measure
your heart rate.
2. When touching the heart rate sensor, make sure you are
using the soft, at pads of your ngers and not the tips
of your ngers.
3. Touch gently with enough pressure to activate the heart
rate measure mode. Muscle “noise” from pressing too
hard can make it difcult to measure your heart rate.
4. Make sure the back metal plate (battery door) of the
watch is laying at on your skin.
5. Make sure your wrist and ngers are clean and free from
dirt, oils, or lotions.
