Visit www.movescount.com/connect for further information.

2.1. Optical heart rate

Optical heart rate measurement from the wrist is an easy and convenient way to track your heart rate. To get the best results, please keep in mind factors that may measurement:
The watch must be worn directly against your skin. No clothing, however thin, can be between the sensor and your skin.
The watch may need to be higher on your arm than where watches are normally worn. The sensor reads blood
Arm movements and accuracy of the sensor readings.
When your heart rate is low, the sensor may not be able to provide stable readings. A short warm up of a few minutes before you start the recording helps.
Dark skin and tattoos block light and prevent reliable readings from the optical sensor.
The optical sensor may not provide accurate heart rate readings for swimming activities.
For highest accuracy and quickest responses to changes in your heart rate, we recommend using a compatible chest heart rate sensor such as Suunto Smart Sensor.
flow through tissue. The more tissue it can read, the better.
flexing muscles, such as gripping a tennis racket, can change the
aect heart rate
WARNING: Optical heart rate sensor technology is currently not as accurate or reliable as measuring heart rate from the chest. Your actual heart rate may be higher or lower that the optical sensor reading.

3. Features

3.1. Activity monitoring

Your watch keeps track of your overall level of activity throughout the day. This is an important factor whether you just aim to be fit and healthy or you are training for an upcoming competition.
It is good to be active, but when training hard, you need to have proper rest days with low activity.
The activity counter automatically resets at midnight every day. At the end of the week (Sunday), the watch provides a summary of your activity showing your average for the week and daily totals.
From the watch face display, swipe up or press the lower button to see your total steps for the day.
Your watch counts steps using an accelerometer. The total step count accumulates 24/7, also while recording training sessions and other activities. However, with some specific sports, such as swimming and cycling, steps are not counted.
In addition to steps, you can tap on the display to see estimated calories for the day.
The large number in the center of the display is the estimated amount of active calories you have burned so far. Below this you see the total calories burned. The total includes both active calories and your Basal Metabolic Rate (see below).
The ring in both displays indicates how close you are to your daily activity goals. These targets can be adjust to your personal preferences (see below)
You can also check your activity over the last seven days with a swipe to the right. Tap the screen or press the middle button to switch between steps and calories.
Activity goals
You can adjust your daily goals for both steps and calories. While in the activity display, tap and hold your finger on the screen or keep the middle button pressed to open the activity goal settings.
12
When setting your steps goal, you define the total number of steps for the day. The total calories you burn per day is based on two factors: your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
and your physical activity.
Your BMR is the amount of calories your body burns while at rest. These are the calories your body needs to stay warm and perform basic function like blink your eyes or beat your heart. This number is based on your personal
profile, including factors such as age and gender.
When you set a calorie goal, you define how many calories you want to burn in addition to your BMR. These are your so-called active calories. The ring around the activity display advances according to how many active calories you burn during the day compared to your goal.

3.1.1. Instant HR

The instant HR display provides a quick snapshot of your heart rate. The display shows your heart rate over ten minutes as a graph, along with an estimation of your hourly calories consumption rate and your current heart rate.
To view instant HR:
1. From the watch face view, swipe up or press the lower button to scroll to the activity
monitoring display.
2. Swipe left to enter the instant HR display and wait for the optical sensor to acquire your
heart rate.
3. Swipe down or press the upper button to exit the display and return to the watch face
view.

3.1.2. Daily HR

The daily HR display provides a 12-hour view of your heart rate. This is a helpful source of information about, for example, your recovery after a hard training session.
The display shows your heart rate over 12 hours as a graph. The graph is plotted using your average heart rate based on 24-minute time slots. In addition, you get an estimation of your average hourly calorie consumption rate and your lowest heart rate during the 12-hour period.
Your minimum heart rate from the last 12 hours is a good indicator of your recovery state. If it is higher than normal, you probably are not fully recovered yet form your last training session.
13
If you record an exercise, the daily HR values reflect the elevated heart rate and calorie consumption from your training. But keep in mind that the graph and consumption rates are averages. If your heart rate peaks at 200 bpm while exercising, the graph does not show that maximum value, but rather the average from the 24 minutes when you hit that peak rate.
Before you can see the daily HR display, you need to activate the daily HR feature. You can toggle the feature on or o from the settings under Activity. If you are in the activity monitoring display, you can also access the activity settings by keeping the middle button pressed.
With the daily HR feature on, your watch activates the optical heart rate sensor on a regular basis to check your heart rate. This slightly increases battery power consumption.
Once activated, your watch needs 24 minutes before it can start display daily HR information. To view daily HR:
1. From the watch face view, swipe up or press the lower button to scroll to the activity
monitoring display.
2. Swipe left to enter the instant HR display and then tap the screen or press the middle
button to switch to the daily HR display.
3. Swipe down or press the upper button to exit the display and return to the watch face
view.
NOTE: If you wear your watch while sleeping, it may not track your heart rate the entire night. The watch goes into hibernation mode which also turns sensor if you do not move for an extended period of time.
