2.1 Optical heart rate
Optical heart rate measurement from the wrist is an easy and
convenient way to track your heart rate. To get the best results,
please keep in mind factors that may affect heart rate
measurement:
•The watch must be worn directly against your skin. No clothing,
however thin, can be between the sensor and your skin.
•The watch may need to be higher on your arm than where
watches are normally worn. The sensor reads blood flow
through tissue. The more tissue it can read, the better.
•Arm movements and flexing muscles, such as gripping a tennis
racket, can change the accuracy of the sensor readings.
•When your heart rate is low, the sensor may not be able to
provide stable readings. A short warm up of a few minutes
before you start the recording helps.
•Dark skin and tattoos block light and prevent reliable readings
from the optical sensor.
•The optical sensor may not provide accurate heart rate readings
for swimming activities.
•For highest accuracy and quickest responses to changes in your
heart rate, we recommend using a compatible chest heart rate
sensor such as Suunto Smart Sensor.

WARNING: Optical heart rate sensor technology is currently not
as accurate or reliable as measuring heart rate from the chest. Your
actual heart rate may be higher or lower that the optical sensor
reading.
