About Coaching
The coaching feature includes Firstbeat technology to provide personalized exercise guidance. Firstbeat uses
Training Effect (TE) analysis that measures the accumulated physical load during a workout and assesses the
impact on your fitness. TE levels are based on your physical profile and the heart rate information recorded while
you workout. Your TE level increases when you perform effective exercise and the coaching feature uses the TE
to provide you with feedback.
The feedback is provided by the feature via prompts, such as ‘speed up’, ‘keep up this pace’, and ‘slow down’.
When you first start to use the coaching feature, it will estimate an appropriate TE level based on your profile. As
you exercise, it will analyse your training history and provide more personalized guidance. A typical workout may
start at a lower intensity and sharply increase in intensity towards the end.

Important! The Gear™ 2 measures your heart rate w ith the heart rate measureme nt sensor. This feature may not
work properly if the heart rate se nsor is exposed to excessive sw eat or its position is changed du ring
exercise.
