Applications

Automatic exercise recognition

Once you have engaged in a middle or high-intensity activity for more than ten minutes while wearing the Gear, it automatically recognises that you are exercising and records exercise information such as the exercise type, duration and calories burned.

When you stop exercising for more than one minute, the Gear automatically recognises that you have stopped exercising and this feature is deactivated.

•Among the various exercise types, only walking, running, elliptical workouts, rowing, cycling and active workouts can be measured.

•The automatic exercise recognition feature measures the distance travelled and calories burnt using the acceleration sensor. The measurements may not be accurate depending on your walking and exercise routines.

Heart rate

Measure and record your heart rate.

•The Gear’s heart rate tracker is intended for fitness and informational purposes only and is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease.

•To measure your heart rate more accurately with the Gear, wear the Gear firmly around your lower arm just above the wrist. Refer to Wearing the Gear correctly for details.

Be aware of following conditions before measuring your heart rate:

•If you have just purchased or have reset the Gear, read the on-screen information about the app and create your profile.

•Rest for 5 minutes before taking measurements.

•If the measurement is very different from the expected heart rate, rest for 30 minutes and then measure it again.

•During winter or in cold weather, keep yourself warm when measuring your heart rate.

•Smoking or consuming alcohol before taking measurements may cause your heart rate to be different from your normal heart rate.
