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

and make sure the sensor doesn't lift from your skin. When pushing the wristband up you
shouldn't see the LED light shining from the sensor.
For most accurate heart rate measurement, we advise you to wear your watch for a few minutes
l
prior to starting the heart rate measurement. Also it's a good idea to warm up the skin if your
hands and skin get cold easily. Get the blood going before starting your session!
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.
