WEARING YOUR M600
Your sport-optimized smartwatch has a built-in heart rate sensor that measures your heart rate from the wrist.
To measure wrist-based heart rate accurately, you need to secure the wristband firmly around your wrist, just
behind the wrist bone, with the display facing up. The sensor must be touching your skin, but the wristband
should not be too tight to prevent blood flow.
When you're not working out, you should wear the wristband a little looser, just as you would wear a normal
watch. But you should tighten it up for your training sessions to make sure you get accurate heart rate readings
from the wrist. If you have tattoos on the skin of your wrist, avoid placing the sensor right on it as it may pre-
vent accurate readings.
It's a good idea to warm up the skin under the sensor if your hands and skin get cold easily. Get the blood going
before starting your session!
In sports where it's more challenging to keep the sensor stationary on your wrist or where you have pressure or
movement in muscles or tendons near the sensor, we recommend using a Polar heart rate sensor with a chest
strap to get better measurement of your heart rate. See
information.
