3.2 Workout status
The Workout status app on your watch can demonstrate your fitness status variation and your
training load from the last seven days. You can review and modify your current workout plan
with the help of this app. The app can also demonstrate your recovery time, high efficiency
levels, peak status, training interruptions, and low efficiency levels. On the Training load
screen, you can view your training load from the last seven days. Training load is classified as
High, Low, or Optimal, and you can determine your level based on your fitness status.
The Workout status app mainly tracks your training load and VO2max variations.
The watch collects your training load from workout modes which track your heart rate, such
as running, walking, cycling, and climbing, and collects your VO2max value when you start
an outdoor running workout. The watch cannot display your workout status if it has not
collected any VO2max values. VO2max variation will be displayed only if you use Outdoor
Run mode at least once a week (at least 2.4 kilometers within 20 minutes for each workout),
and the watch collects at least two VO2max values with an interval of more than a week.
From the home screen press the Up button, swipe until you find Workout status, touch it,

The HUAWEI WATCH GT 2 features an optical heart rate sensor, which can monitor and
record your heart rate all day. To use this feature, you need to enable Continuous heart rate
in the Huawei Health app.
When the watch detects that the user has fallen sleep, it will switch to use the non-visible light to
measure your heart rate, letting you have a good nights sleep.
Heart rate measurement
1.Keep your arm still and wear your watch correctly.
2.From the home screen press the Up button, swipe until you find Heart rate. Touch
Heart rate. The watch will then measure your current heart rate.
3.To pause the heart rate measurement, swipe right on your watch screen.
It usually takes approximately 6 to 10 seconds to display the first measurement value (1
to 2 seconds if Continuous heart rate monitoring is enabled in the Huawei Health app
and MONITORING MODE is set to Real-time), and the data updates every 5 seconds
afterward. A complete measurement takes approximately 45 seconds to complete.
To guarantee a more accurate heart rate measurement, wear the watch correctly and ensure the strap is
fastened. Make sure that your watch is secure on your wrist. Ensure that the watch body is in direct
contact with your skin without any obstructions.
Heart rate measurement during an individual workout
During a workout, your watch can display your real-time heart rate and heart rate zone, and
notify you when your heart rate exceeds the upper limit. For the best training result, you are
advised to choose a workout based on your heart rate zone.
lSetting the heart rate zone calculation method
The heart rate interval can be calculated based on the maximum heart rate percentage or
HRR percentage. To set the heart rate interval calculation method, open the Huawei
Health app, go to Me > Settings > Heart rate limit and zones and set Calculationmethod to either Maximum heart rate percentage or HRR percentage.
l If you select Maximum heart rate percentage as the calculation method, the heart rate zone
for different types of workout activities (Extreme, Anaerobic, Aerobic, Fat-burning, and
Warm-up) is calculated based on your maximum heart rate ("220 – your age" by default).
Heart rate = Maximum heart rate x Maximum heart rate percentage.
l If you select HRR percentage as the calculation method, the heart rate interval for different
types of workout activities (Advanced anaerobic, Basic anaerobic, Lactic acid, Advanced
aerobic, and Basic aerobic) is calculated based on your heart rate reserve (HRmax - HRrest).
Heart rate = Heart rate reserve x Heart rate reserve percentage + Resting heart rate.
l The heart rate zone calculation methods while you are running are not affected by the settings
in the Huawei Health app. For most running courses, HRR percentage is selected by default.
Your watch will display different colors when your heart rate reaches corresponding
zones during a workout. The following figure shows how heart rate is displayed during
an outdoor run.
a.After you start a workout, swipe on the watch screen to check your real-time heart
rate and heart rate zone.
b.After completing your workout, you can check your average heart rate, maximum
heart rate, and heart rate zone on the workout results screen.

average heart rate for each workout under Exercise records in the Huawei Health
app.

workout. However, the watch will continue to search for your heart rate for a while. The
measurement will resume once you wear the watch again.

intensity activities (such as when you are walking).
c.The heart rate measurement will be performed once a second for high-intensity
activities (such as when you are running) and it takes 6 to 10 seconds to display the
first heart rate value, though this may vary between individuals).
lReal-time mode: The heart rate measurement will be performed once a second for any
When this feature is enabled, the watch will continuously measure your real-time heart rate.
You can view graphs for your heart rate in the Huawei Health app.

the heart rate measurement interval based on the intensity of your activity, thus reducing power
consumption.
Resting heart rate measurement
Resting heart rate refers to the heart rate when it is measured in a quiet and relaxed
environment when you are awake. It is a general indicator of cardiovascular health.
The best time to measure your resting heart rate is immediately after you have woken up in
the morning. Your actual resting heart rate may not be displayed or accurately measured if
your heart rate was measured at the wrong time.
To automatically measure your heart rate, enable Continuous heart rate monitoring in the
Huawei Health app.
If "--" is displayed as the resting heart rate reading, it indicates that your watch was unable to
measure your resting heart rate. In this case, ensure that you measure your resting heart rate in
a quiet and relaxed environment when you are awake. It is recommended that you measure
your resting heart rate immediately after you wake up in the morning for the most accurate
result.

a light or deep sleep. You can sync and view your sleep data in detail in the Huawei Health
app.
