Wearing Your Watch When Not Measuring Heart Rate From Your Wrist - Polar Electro Vantage M User Manual

If you have tattoos on the skin of your wrist, avoid placing the sensor right on it as it may prevent accur-
ate readings.
In sports where it's more challenging to keep the sensor stationary on your wrist or where you have pres-
sure or movement in muscles or tendons near the sensor, we recommend using a Polar heart rate sensor
with a chest strap if you're looking for supreme accuracy in your training. Your watch is compatible with
Bluetooth® heart rate sensors, like Polar H10. The Polar H10 heart rate sensor is more responsive to rap-
idly increasing or decreasing heart rate, so it's the ideal option also for interval type of training with quick
sprints.
To maintain the best possible performance of the wrist-based heart rate measurement, keep your
watch clean and prevent scratches. After a sweaty training session, we recommend that you wash the
watch under running water with a mild soap and water solution. Then wipe it dry with a soft towel. Let it
fully dry before charging.

WEARING YOUR WATCH WHEN NOT MEASURING HEART RATE FROM YOUR WRIST

Loosen the wristband a bit for a more comfortable fit and to let your skin breathe. Wear the watch just
as you would wear a normal watch.
Every once in a while it's a good idea to let your wrist have a breather, especially if you have sensitive
skin. Take off your watch and recharge it. This way both your skin and your watch can have a rest, and be
ready for your next training event.
