Charging the battery
Charge the battery before using it for the first time or when it has been unused for extended
periods.
Use only Samsung-approved chargers, batteries, and cables. Unapproved chargers or
cables can cause the battery to explode or damage the Galaxy Watch.
•

Battery charging tips and precautions
•
If there are obstructions between the Galaxy Watch and the wireless charging dock,
the Galaxy Watch may not charge properly. Prevent the Galaxy Watch and the wireless
charger from coming into contact with sweat, liquids, or dust.
•
When the battery power is low, the battery icon appears empty.

If you use multiple apps at once, the battery will drain quickly. To avoid losing power
during a data transfer, always use these apps after fully charging the battery.
•
Using a power source other than the charger, such as a computer, may result in a slower
charging speed due to a lower electric current.
•
If the Galaxy Watch is being charged with other devices via a multi charger, charging may
take longer.
•
The Galaxy Watch can be used while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully charge
the battery.

every day.
When you exercise for more than 10 minutes while wearing the Galaxy Watch, it will display
an encouraging message. When the Galaxy Watch recognises inactivity for more than one

Samsung Health features are intended only for leisure, well-being, and fitness
purposes. They are not intended for medical use. Before using these features, read
the instructions carefully.

Any information that is obtained from use of the Galaxy Watch or the Fit Software
or any application preloaded within may not be suitable, accurate, complete or

Wearing the Galaxy Watch correctly
•
When you activate the auto heart rate tracking feature, or when the Galaxy Watch
recognises your exercise, the Galaxy Watch will automatically track your heart rate. When
measuring your heart rate, wear the Galaxy Watch snugly on your arm above your wrist
as shown in the figure below.
•
If you fasten the Galaxy Watch too tightly, the skin irritation may occur and if you fasten it
too loosely, friction may occur.
<Rear>
Heart rate sensor
•
The accuracy of the heart rate sensor may be diminished depending on
measurement conditions and surroundings.
•
Use the HR feature only for measuring your heart rate.
•
Do not look directly at the heart rate sensor’s lights. Doing so may impair your
vision. Make sure children do not look directly at the lights.
•
Cold ambient temperatures may affect your measurement; during winter or cold
weather, keep yourself warm when checking your heart rate.
•
Take heart rate measurements when you are seated and relaxed. Do not move your
body while taking heart rate measurements. Doing so may cause your heart rate to
be recorded inaccurately.
•
If you receive a reading that is very different from your expected heart rate, rest for
30 minutes and then measure again.
63
Page 64
Apps and features
•
Smoking or consuming alcohol before taking measurements may cause your heart
rate to be different from your normal heart rate.
•
Do not talk, yawn, or breathe deeply while taking heart rate measurements. Doing
so may cause your heart rate to be recorded inaccurately.
•
Because the heart rate sensor uses light to approximate heart rate, its accuracy
may vary due to physical factors that affect light absorption and reflection, such as
blood circulation/blood pressure, skin condition and location and concentration of
blood vessels. In addition, if your heart rate is extremely high or low, measurements
may be inaccurate.
•
Users with thin wrists may receive inaccurate heart rate measurements when
the device is loose, causing the light to be reflected unevenly. If heart rate
measurement is not working properly, adjust the position of the device’s heart rate
sensor to the right, left, up, or down on your wrist, or turn the device so the heart
rate sensor sits firmly against the inside of your wrist.
•
If the heart rate sensor is dirty, wipe the sensor and try again. Obstructions
between the device’s band and your wrist, such as body hair, dirt, or other objects
may prevent the light from reflecting evenly. Please make sure you remove such
obstructions before use.
•
If your device becomes hot to the touch, please remove it until it cools. Exposing
skin to a hot surface of the device for a long time may cause skin burn.

Be aware of following conditions before measuring your heart rate:
•
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.
•
Do not talk, yawn, or breathe deeply while taking heart rate measurements. Doing so
may cause your heart rate to be recorded inaccurately.
•
Heart rate measurements may vary depending on the measurement method and the
environment they are taken in.
•
If the heart rate sensor is not working, check the Galaxy Watch’s position on your wrist
and make sure nothing is obstructing the sensor. If the heart rate sensor continues to
