Heart rate measurement for a workout
During a workout, the device displays your real-time heart rate and heart rate zone, and
notifies you when your heart rate exceeds the upper limit. For better training results, you are
advised to do a workout based on your heart rate zone.
Heart rate zones can be calculated based on the maximum heart rate percentage or HRR

percentage. To choose the calculation method, open the Health app, go to Me > Settings >
Workout settings > Exercise heart rate settings and set Calculation method to either
Maximum heart rate percentage or HRR percentage.
If you select Maximum heart rate percentage as the calculation method, the heart
•
rate zone for different types of workout activities (Extreme, Anaerobic, Aerobic, Fat-
burning, and Warm-up) is calculated based on your maximum heart rate ("220 minus
your age" by default).
If you select HRR percentage as the calculation method, the heart rate interval for
•
different types of workout activities (Advanced anaerobic, Basic anaerobic, Lactic
acid, Advanced aerobic, and Basic aerobic) is calculated based on your heart rate
reserve ("HRmax minus HRrest").
Heart rate measurement during a workout: The real-time heart rate can be displayed on
•
the device when you start a workout.
After completing your workout, you can check your average heart rate, maximum
•
heart rate, and heart rate zone on the workout results screen.
Your heart rate will not be displayed if you remove the device from your wrist during
•
the workout. However, it will continue to search for your heart rate signal for a while.
The measurement will resume once you put the device back on.
