Applications
Health management apps
Introduction
Use the pedometer, exercise, and heart rate apps to monitor and manage your health and 
physical condition. Set fitness goals and regularly record and check your progress.
When the Gear is synced with a compatible S Health app, you can use additional features. The 
additional features include checking your heart rate logs individually, and more.
• The 24 hours , Steps, Floors, Exercise, Heart rate, Water, Caffeine, and Together 
apps 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 Gear Fit2 or the Gear Fit2 Software 
or any application preloaded within may not be suitable, accurate, complete or 
reliable.
Wearing the Gear correctly
When measuring your heart rate, wear the Gear securely on your arm above your wrist as 
shown in the figure below. Do not fasten the Gear too tightly.
Heart rate sensor
  
						

							Applications
30
• 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.
• 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 strap 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, remove it until it cools. Exposing skin to a 
hot surface of the device for a long time may cause skin burn.
