IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION—
READ AND UNDERSTAND BEFORE USE
WARNING: Failing to read and follow these
safety warnings could result in fire, electrical
shock, other injury, or damage to the watch
or other property.
Electrical Safety. The watch has a lithium-
ion battery and electrical circuitry that can
cause electrical shock or injury if
mishandled.
• Do not attempt to open the watch and do
not puncture it. The lithium battery and
other internal components are not user
replaceable. Damage to the battery could
result in fire, shock, or chemical burns.
• Do not drop, impact, or apply excessive
pressure to the watch, or place heavy
objects on it.
• Do not use sharp objects or excessive
force on the screen. Rough handling can
damage the internal circuits.
Safety Information

• Do not use if the display or watch
housing is cracked.
• Keep the watch away from flames. The
battery could explode from fire or
extreme heat.
Skin Irritation or Sensitivity. Some people
have experienced skin reactions from
jewelry, watches, and other wearable items.
Some reactions can be caused by allergy or
sensitivity to materials used in the watch or
band, such as silicone, nickel, or adhesives. If
you have skin allergies or sensitivities, use
special care when wearing the watch. Start
by wearing it for short periods.
Skin irritation can also be caused by wearing
the watch too long or not cleaning the watch
or adjacent skin. Follow the cleaning and
wearing tips in the next section to reduce the
risk of skin irritation.
Stop using the watch if you experience skin
redness, blisters, a burning sensation,
itchiness, swelling, or other skin conditions.
Pausing use for a period, cleaning the watch
and skin, or adjusting how you wear the
watch may resolve the issue. Consult your
doctor if symptoms persist.

Overheating. Your watch may seem warm if
you use it in a hot environment or when
exercising. But the watch itself should not
generate heat that causes discomfort or skin
damage. If the watch overheats, or if you
experience blisters or burns, stop wearing it
immediately and contact Customer Support.
Charging. Charge the watch in a cool dry
place and out of direct sunlight to prevent
overheating. Keep the charger and watch
away from pillows, blankets, papers, and
other materials that could prevent heat
dissipation or that could pose a fire hazard if
the charger overheats.
Remove the watch from the charger once it
is fully-charged.
Do not wear your watch while it is charging.
Doing so could result in electrical shock.
Your watch uses a USB charger to charge the
battery. Follow these general safety
principles with any USB charger and power
source:
• Keep the power source, USB cable,
charging cradle, and watch away from
liquids.

• Thoroughly clean and dry the contacts
and surrounding area before connecting
the cable to the charging cradle, USB
port, or power source. Liquid and other
foreign objects in plug ports or contacts
can cause a short circuit and overheating.
• Unplug the USB cable and charging
cradle during long periods of non-use.
• Keep the cable, charging cradle, and your
power source away from sources of heat,
such as candles, fireplaces, radiators,
stoves, and other appliances that radiate
heat. Do not leave them in direct
sunlight.
• Make sure the charging cradle, USB
cable, and your power source are not
damaged or broken. If there are breaks
or other visible damage, do not use.

Distraction. The watch can display
notifications, texts, emails, and other data.
Looking at them can distract you from more
important things like driving and paying
attention to your surroundings, and cause an
accident. Do not check messages and
notifications when driving or doing other
things that require your full attention. You
are responsible for knowing and following
all traffic and other rules for safely operating
any vehicle.
Maps and Directions. The watch has a GPS
receiver and can display maps, your location,
and other navigation information. Your
location and other navigation information
may be inaccurate, incomplete, or
unavailable at times.
Exercise and Medical Conditions. The
watch is a great exercise companion, but
check with your doctor to make sure that
you can exercise safely. Also check with your
doctor if you have any medical condition
that could be affected by using a watch, such
as skin conditions, circulation problems,
seizures, blackouts, eyestrain, or headaches.

Keep Away from Small Children. The watch
is not a toy and is not intended for use by
children below age 13. It has small parts that
can be a choking hazard. Keep it out of reach
of small children.
Hearing Damage. Loud sounds can damage
your hearing. When listening to your device
with headphones, set the volume to a
reasonable level to avoid damage to your
ears.
Dangerous Activities. The watch is not
designed or intended to be used in any
situation where a failure of the device could
result in death, injury, or property damage.
Do not use the watch in any such situation.

Cleaning and Skin Irritation. Follow these
cleaning and wearing tips to reduce the risk
of skin irritation:
• Remove the watch and clean it regularly.
• Do not over-tighten the watch on your
wrist. Wear it loosely enough to allow air
to circulate between the watch and your
skin.
• Take the watch off periodically, such as
when bathing, and clean the skin surface.
Cleaning your Watch. Clean your watch
regularly to protect its appearance and make
it last. Follow these cleaning practices to
