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.
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 avoid
damaging your watch:
• Do not use harsh chemicals,
cleaning solvents or strong
detergents to clean the watch. Do
not expose the watch to these
substances: soap, detergent, acids
or acidic foods, soapy water,
Use and Care
Instructions

perfume, insect repellent, lotions,
sunscreen, oil, adhesive remover,
hair dye, or solvents.
• Do not put the watch in a
dishwasher, washing machine, or
dryer.
Storage. Improper storage can
damage your watch. Follow these
storage instructions for best results:
• Do not use or store the watch in
dusty, dirty areas as its
components may be damaged.
• Do not store the watch in warm
areas or leave it in direct sunlight.
High temperatures can shorten the
life of electronic devices, damage
batteries, and warp or melt certain
plastics.
• Do not store the watch in cold
areas. Condensation can form
inside the watch and damage the
electronic circuits after the watch is
used and has reached its normal
temperature.

Water Resistance. The watch has a
water resistance rating of 5 ATM and
should not be submerged below a
depth of 50 meters. It is not suitable
for use when diving into water, scuba
diving, and in high-speed water
sports.
Not a Medical Device. The watch and
mobile app are NOT designed or
intended to be used as a medical
device and are not intended for use in
the cure, mitigation, treatment, or
prevention of any disease.
Repair. Do not open the watch or
attempt to repair or replace its
internal parts. It has no user-
serviceable internal parts. Opening
the watch can damage it and destroy
its water resistance.
Disposal. This watch contains
electronics and substances that can
harm the environment or cause injury
if you dispose of the watch
improperly.

Irritation ou sensibilité cutanée.
Certaines personnes ont des réactions
cutanées lorsqu'elles portent des
bijoux, montres ou autres articles
vestimentaires. Certaines réactions
peuvent être dues à une allergie ou à
une sensibilité aux matériaux utilisés
dans la montre ou le bracelet, comme
la silicone, le nickel ou les adhésifs. Si
vous souffrez d'allergies ou de

sensibilités, faites preuve de prudence
lorsque vous portez la montre.
Commencez par la porter pendant de
courtes périodes.
Une irritation cutanée peut également
apparaître en portant la montre trop
longtemps ou en négligeant de
nettoyer adéquatement celle-ci ou la
peau adjacente. Suivez les conseils de
nettoyage ou de port de la montre
dans la section suivante pour réduire
les risques d'irritation cutanée.
Arrêtez d'utiliser la montre en cas de
rougeur de la peau, d'ampoules, de
sensation de brûlure, de
démangeaisons, d'enflure ou d'autres
affections cutanées. Il est possible
que le problème soit résolu en
suspendant temporairement
l'utilisation de la montre, en nettoyant
celle-ci et la peau ou en ajustant le
port de la montre. Consultez votre
médecin si les symptômes persistent.
Surchauffe. Il est possible que vous
ailliez l'impression que la montre est
chaude si vous l'utilisez dans un milieu
chaud ou lorsque vous prenez de
l'exercice. Mais la montre elle-même
ne doit pas générer de chaleur
