Skin Irritation
Should you ever experience any skin irritation or any other
abnormality while wearing the chest strap, immediately take it off.
Since the watch and the chest strap come into direct contact with
the skin, the following conditions may cause irritation of the skin.
• When a wearer is allergic to metal or leather
• When the watch or chest strap is rusty dirty, sweaty, etc.
• When the wearer is in poor physical condition
• Tightening the chest strap too tightly can cause you to sweat,
and can make it hard for air to pass under the strap, which can
lead to skin irritation. Do not over-tighten the chest strap.
• Should you ever notice any abnormality, immediately stop
using the product and consult a physician.
