Introduction

Samsung Health records and manages your 24-hour activity and sleep pattern to cultivate a healthy habit. When connecting your Galaxy Watch Active2 to your mobile devices, you can save and manage the health-related data on the Samsung Health app.

With the activated automatic exercise recognition feature, after you exercise for more than 10 minutes while wearing the Galaxy Watch Active2, it 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 Watch Active2 recognises inactivity for more than one hour. When your Galaxy Watch Active2 recognises you are driving, it may not display an encouraging message or stretches

Tap (Samsung Health) on the Apps screen.

• 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 Active2 or the Fit Software or any application preloaded within may not be suitable, accurate, complete or reliable.

Wearing the Galaxy Watch Active2 correctly

• When you activate the auto heart rate tracking feature, or when you start to use the exercise features, the Galaxy Watch Active2 will automatically track your heart rate. When measuring your heart rate, wear the Galaxy Watch Active2 snugly on your arm above your wrist as shown in the figure below.
• If you fasten the Galaxy Watch Active2 too tightly, the skin irritation may occur and if you fasten it too loosely, friction may occur.

• 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.
• If your Galaxy Watch Active2 becomes hot to the touch, please remove it until it cools. Exposing skin to a hot surface of the Galaxy Watch Active2 for a long time may cause skin burn.

• 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.
• 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.
• 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 wear the device on your inner arm so that the sensor is in contact with your skin.
• 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.
