Continuous Heart Rate; Continuous Heart Rate On Your Watch - Polar Electro Ignite 3 User Manual

CONTINUOUS HEART RATE

The Continuous heart rate feature measures your heart rate around the clock. It enables a more accurate measurement
of daily calorie consumption and your overall activity because also physical activities with very little wrist movement,
such as cycling, can now be tracked.
You can turn the Continuous heart rate feature on, off or to night-time only mode on your watch in
settings > Continuous HR
time you might go to bed.
The feature is on by default. Keeping the Continuous Heart Rate feature on in your watch will drain the
battery quicker. Continuous heart rate tracking needs to be enabled for Nightly Recharge to function. If you
want to save battery and still use Nightly Recharge, set the continuous heart rate tracking to be on only at
night.

The watch tracks your heart rate in 5-minute intervals and records the data for later analysis in the Flow app or web
service. If the watch detects that your heart rate is elevated, it starts to record your heart rate continuously. Continuous
recording can also start based on your wrist movements, for example, when you're walking with a fast enough pace for
at least one minute. The continuous recording of your heart rate stops automatically when your activity level drops low
enough. When your watch detects that your arm is not moving or when your heart rate is not elevated it tracks your
heart rate in 5-minute cycles to find your lowest reading of the day.
In some cases, it is possible that you've seen a higher or lower heart rate on your watch during the day than is shown in
the continuous heart rate summary as the highest or lowest reading of your day. This can happen if the reading you've
seen falls outside the tracking interval.
The LEDs on the back of your watch are always on when the continuous heart rate feature is on and the
sensor on the back is in touch with your skin. For instructions on how to wear your watch for accurate
heart rate readings from the wrist, see
