Wear

Wear your watch firmly behind the wrist bone. To get accurate heart rate readings during training:

Wear the watch on top of your wrist, at least a finger's width up from the wrist bone.
Tighten the wristband a bit more tightly around your wrist. The sensor on the back must be in constant touch with your skin and the watch should not be able to move on your arm.

Wear
When not measuring heart rate or tracking sleep, loosen the wristband to let your skin breathe.

Take care of your watch
Keep your watch clean by rinsing it under running water after each training session. Before charging, please make sure there's no moisture, dust or dirt on the charging contacts of your watch and cable. Gently wipe off any dirt or moisture. Do not charge the watch when it's wet.

Train

Wear your watch and tighten the wristband.

Training with GPS

Unite: To get GPS data, connect your watch to your mobile phone. Install the Polar Flow app on your mobile phone, pair it with your Unite and give it permission to always use your phone's location. You need to keep your mobile phone with you during the training session.
