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.
Safety Information

• Do not use sharp objects or
excessive force on the screen.
Rough handling can damage the
internal circuits.
• 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.

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
