1. : Move measures the calories you burn through activities like running, cycling, or even doing house work or walking your dog.
2. : Exercise measures the total duration of moderate- and high-intensity workouts you've engaged. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of high-intensity exercise per week. Fast walking, jogging, and moderate-intensity strength training can improve cardio endurance and boost overall fitness.
3. : Stand measures the number of hours during which you stood up and moved around for at least one minute. For example, if you have walked for more than one minute in a given hour (such as between 10:00 and 11:00), this hour will be counted into Stand. Sitting for too long is harmful. WHO studies indicate that sitting for long periods of time is linked to higher risks of high blood sugar, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and depression.
   This ring is designed to help remind you that staying seated for too long is damaging to your health. You are advised to stand up at least once per hour and score as high as you can for Stand every day.

Water-resistant and dust-resistant level definition and usage scenario description of wearable devices

Being water-resistant and dust-resistant means that the wearable device prevents water and dust from entering inside and damaging the interior components and the mainboard.

In the following test scenarios, the normal temperature ranges from 15°C to 35°C, the relative humidity ranges from 25% to 75%, and the atmospheric pressure ranges from 86 kPa to 106 kPa (the standard atmospheric pressure is 101.325 kPa).

Water/Dust Resistance Level	Resistance Level Definition	Resistance Scenario
5 ATM	It is a water resistance standard (ISO 22810) defined by the ISO. It indicates that the wearable device can withstand up to simulated 50-meter static water pressure at room temperature for 10 minutes, and does not mean that the device is water-resistant in water that is 50 meters deep.	The wearable device complies with the 5 ATM-rated resistance level under the ISO 22810:2010 standard, which indicates that the device can withstand up to 50-meter static water pressure for 10 minutes, but does not mean that it is water-resistant in water that is 50-meter deep. Water resistance is not permanent, and performance may deteriorate with daily wear and tear. The device can be used in shallow waters such as in swimming pools and at the beach, and can be worn and used during exercise, on rainy days, and when washing your hands. If a watch with a speaker is soaked in water or the watch is worn in water, promptly remove water stains from the speaker or use the drainage feature of the watch to avoid the impact of the water stains on the speaker. The wearable device is not suitable for use in the following scenarios: Scuba dives, platform dives, highpressure rinsing, or other activities that involve high water pressure or fast-flowing water. Hot showers, hot springs, saunas(steam rooms), and other activities in high-temperature and high-humidity environments. Leather and metal straps are notdesigned to withstand water. It is recommended that you wear other types of straps if you wish to swim or play other water activities. (Damage to the wearable device caused by immersion in liquid is not covered by the warranty if the wearable device is used in an unsuitable scenario.)
IP68	Products that meet this standard can prevent dust from entering and can be immersed in water deeper than 1 meter at normal temperature and atmospheric pressure for a short period of time (the immersion depth and duration may vary depending on the product model). This water resistance level is a higher standard than IPX7.	The wearable device complies with the IP68-rated resistance level under the IEC 60529:2013 standard. The wearable device can prevent dust from entering in living rooms, offices, laboratories, light industrial studios, and storage rooms. The device is not suitable for use in particularly dusty environments. The device can withstand immersion in water for a short period of time. However, it is not recommended that you immerse the device in water. You can wear the device during exercise as it is resistant to sweat, when washing your hands, and on rainy days. The wearable device is not suitable for use in the following scenarios: Scuba diving or other activities with immersion in water for a long time. Showers, hot springs, saunas (steam rooms), and other activities in high temperature and high-humidity environments. Activities involving fast-flowing water, such as platform diving, jumping into water, water skiing, surfing, motorized water sports (such as speedboats and motorboats), car washing, and rafting. (Damage to the wearable device caused by immersion in liquid is not covered by the warranty if the wearable device is used in an unsuitable scenario.)

Dust and water resistance is not permanent, and performance may deteriorate with daily wear and tear. The following usage conditions may affect the water-resistance performance of the wearable device and should be avoided. Damage caused by immersion in liquid is not covered by the warranty.

Pressing the device buttons or operating on the device underwater.
Using an ultrasonic cleaner or mildly acidic or alkaline detergent to clean the device.
Dropping the device from a high place or subjecting the device to impact from a collision.
Dissembling or repairing the device at a non-Huawei-authorized store.
Exposing the device to alkaline substances, such as soap or soapy water during showers or baths.
Exposing the device to perfumes, solvents, detergents, acids, acidic substances, pesticides, emulsions, sunscreens, moisturizers, or hair dye.
Charging the device when it is wet.

The water-resistant and dust-resistant features are applicable only to the watch body. Other components such as the strap, charging base, and base are not water-resistant or dust-resistant.
