Wearing

1. Wear the watch strap not too tight or too loose, and leave enough space for the skin to breathe. This makes you feel comfortable and allows the sensor to function.
2. When measuring blood oxygen, wear the watch correctly. Avoid wearing the watch on the wrist joint, keep your arm flat, maintain a comfortable (appropriately tight) fitting between the watch and the wrist skin, and keep your arm still throughout the measurement process. When affected by external factors (arm sag, arm sway, arm hair, tattoo, etc.), the measurement result may be inaccurate, or the measurement may fail with no output.
3. We recommend that you tighten the watch strap during a workout and loosen it afterwards.
