as shown in the figure below.
<Rear>
Optical heart rate sensor
•
If you fasten the Galaxy Watch3 too tightly, the skin irritation may occur and if you fasten
it too loosely, friction may occur.
•
Do not look directly at the optical heart rate sensor’s lights. Doing so may impair
your vision. Make sure children do not look directly at the lights.
•
If your Galaxy Watch3 becomes hot to the touch, please remove it until it cools.
Exposing skin to a hot surface of the Galaxy Watch3 for a long time may cause skin
burn.
25
Getting Started
•
The accuracy of the optical heart rate sensor may be diminished depending on
measurement conditions and surroundings.
•
Use the HR feature only for measuring your heart rate.
•
Cold ambient temperatures may affect your measurement; during winter or cold
weather, keep yourself warm when checking 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.
•
The signal may be affected by your skin brightness, blood flow under your skin,
and the cleanliness of the sensor area. 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 optical
heart rate sensor to the right, left, up, or down on your wrist, or wear the device on
your inner arm so that the sensor is in contact with your skin.
•
If the optical heart rate sensor is dirty, wipe the sensor and try again. Obstructions
between the device’s band and your wrist, such as dirt or other objects may
prevent the light from reflecting evenly. Please make sure you remove such
obstructions before use.
•
To measure your heart rate more accurately with the Galaxy Watch3, use the Ridge
sport band. The Ridge sport band is sold separately.

healthy habit. When connecting your Galaxy Watch3 to your mobile device, you can save and
manage the health-related data on the Samsung Health app.
After exercising for more than 10 minutes while wearing the Galaxy Watch3, the automatic
exercise recognition feature will be activated. Also the Galaxy Watch3 will notify you and
show you some stretching motions to follow or it will show you a screen encouraging you to
take a light stroll when the Galaxy Watch3 recognises inactivity for more than one hour. When
your Galaxy Watch3 recognises you are driving, it may not display an encouraging message or
stretches.

When you start to measure your step, the step tracker monitors your steps and
displays your step count after a brief delay because your Galaxy Watch3 accurately
recognises your movement after you walk for a while. Also, for an accurate step
count, you may experience a brief delay before the notification indicates that a
certain goal has been reached.
•
If you use the steps tracker while travelling by car or train, vibration may affect your
step count.
•
One floor is calculated as approximately 3 metres. The floors measured may not
match the actual floors you climb.
•
The floors measured may not be accurate depending on the environment, the
user’s movements, and the conditions of buildings.
•
The floors measured may not be accurate if water (shower and water activity) or
foreign materials enter the atmospheric pressure sensor. If there is any detergent,
sweat, or raindrops on the Galaxy Watch3, rinse it with clean water and dry the
atmospheric pressure sensor thoroughly before use.
