This measurement is obtained by the watch’s two sensors located in the top ring and the case back. The case back is the primary sensor plate that measures these electronic signals off your arm.

Page 6: Heart Rate Lock
2. p lace your finger on the watch’s heart rate sensor (the stainless steel top ring) and touch gently for 5-8 seconds (the heart icon will flash). 3. T he health Touch™ watch will beep and your heart rate will be displayed in beats per minute (BpM). Your heart rate reading will remain displayed for 6 seconds after you remove your finger from the heart rate sensor. This watch is a sensitive monitoring device that reads your Ecg signals and reading times may vary. if you do not get a reading, remove your finger from the bezel for 30 seconds and try again. if you still do not get a reading refer to the Troubleshooting - heart rate section. heart rate lock The heart rate lock feature prevents triggering the heart rate feature from accidental contact and environments where excessive water/ moisture is present. an example would be in a pool where the watch is submerged in water. since water acts as a natural conductor, it can accidentally trigger the heart rate feature. To activate the heart rate lock: 1. in Time of Day, hold rEsET for 3 seconds. 2. T he “l”icon will appear, and if you try to measure your heart rate, the message “hr OFF” will display. 3. To unlock the heart rate feature, repeat step 1. NoTe: if you need to take a heart rate reading while the watch is “locked”, there is an override to this feature. press rEsET, and while the “l” is flashing, measure your heart rate. Once the heart rate is displayed, the lock feature is reinstated. -
Page 7: Relative Heart Rate
relative heart rate relative heart rate is your current heart rate divided by your maximum heart rate, and can be a useful reference to manage how hard you are working during your exercise. • M aximum heart rate is calculated as: Male: 220 minus your age; Female: 226 minus your age • Y our relative heart rate will be displayed as a percentage below your BpM heart rate. Target heart rate Zone The Target heart rate Zone feature compares your measured heart rate with your targeted heart rate zone. if your heart rate is within the target zone, the watch will beep once and your heart rate will display with the message “ZOnE-in”. if your heart rate is lower than your target zone lower limit, the watch will beep twice and your heart rate will display with the message “ZOnE-lo”. if your heart rate is higher than your target zone upper limit, the watch will beep twice and your heart rate will display with the message “ZOnE-hi”. Example: Debbie’s target zone is 80 BpM (low) to 120 BpM (high). after 5 minutes of walking, Debbie measures her heart rate at 72 BpM. she is under her target zone and can decide to pick up her pace. Target heart rate Zone setup You can customize the settings in your watch to more accurately determine calories burned and to set a personalized target zone. The following chart provides some heart rate target ranges for your reference. - Page 8 Type high (85% of max hr) Male 20 / Female 20 170 / 175 Male 30 / Female 30 162 / 167 Male 40 / Female 40 153 / 158 Male 50 / Female 50 145 / 150 Male 60 / Female 60 136 / 141 Male 70 / Female 70 128 / 133 Male 80 / Female 80 119 / 124 1. i n setup mode, hold MODE for 3 seconds until the display flashes.
