Introduction to Your Timex® Health Touch™ Watch

Our technology measures the electronic signals that pass through your body as a result of the beating of your heart. This measurement is obtained by the watch’s two sensors located in the top ring and the case back. The case back is the primary sensor plate that measures these electronic signals off your arm.

The ECG (electrocardiogram) measurement is done when you place your ﬁnger from the opposite hand onto the top ring of the watch. This creates a loop across your body from where the watch can now determine your heart rate.

Please remove any stickers from the face or case back of the watch to assure optimal heart rate measurement.

Watch Display and Button Overview

The watch buttons are not intended for use in or under water as this will compromise the watch’s water resistance.

Measuring Your Heart Rate

To get your heart rate reading, follow these three simple steps:

1. Strap the watch snugly around your wrist.

2. Place your ﬁnger on the watch’s Heart Rate Sensor (the stainless steel top ring) and touch gently for 5-8 seconds (the heart icon will ﬂash).

3. The Health Touch™ watch will beep and your heart rate will be displayed in beats per minute (BPM).

Your Heart Rate reading will remain displayed for 6 seconds after you remove your ﬁnger from the Heart Rate Sensor.

This watch is a sensitive monitoring device that reads your ECG signals and reading times may vary. If you do not get a reading, remove your ﬁnger from the bezel for 30 seconds and try again. If you still do not get a reading refer to the Troubleshooting - Heart Rate section.

Heart Rate Lock

The Heart Rate Lock feature prevents triggering the heart rate feature from accidental contact and environments where excessive water/ moisture is present. An example would be in a pool where the watch is

submerged in water. Since water acts as a natural conductor, it can accidentally trigger the heart rate feature.

To activate the Heart Rate Lock:

1. In Time of Day, hold RESET for 3 seconds.

2. The “l”icon will appear, and if you try to measure your heart rate, the message “Hr OFF” will display.

3. To unlock the heart rate feature, repeat Step 1.

NOTE: If you need to take a heart rate reading while the watch is “locked”, there is an override to this feature. Press RESET, and while the “l” is ﬂashing, measure your heart rate. Once the heart rate is displayed, the Lock feature is reinstated.
