• The device is unable to detect the exact optimal time to check your resting heart rate. Therefore, the reading may not be displayed at all times in the app and may differ slightly from the actual value.

Measuring your heart rate during a workout
During a workout, your band can display your real-time heart rate and heart rate zone, and notify you when your heart rate exceeds the upper limit. For the best training results, you are advised to choose a workout based on your heart rate zone.

• To set the heart rate zone, open the Huawei Health app, go to Me > Settings > Heart rate limit, then set Calculation method under SET HEART RATE ZONES to either Maximum heart rate percentage or HRR percentage.
  
  • If you select Maximum heart rate percentage as the calculation method, the heart rate zone for different types of workout activities (Extreme, Anaerobic, Aerobic, Fatburning, and Warm-up) is calculated based on your maximum heart rate ("220 – your age" by default).
  • If you select HRR percentage as the calculation method, the heart rate interval for different types of workout activities (Advanced anaerobic, Basic anaerobic, Lactic acid, Advanced aerobic, and Basic aerobic) is calculated based on your heart rate reserve (HRmax - HRrest).
• Heart rate measurement during a workout: You can view the current heart rate on your band when you start a workout.
  
  • After completing your workout, you can check your average heart rate, maximum heart rate, and heart rate zone on the workout results screen.
  • During the workout, if you remove the band from your wrist, no heart rate will be displayed. However, the band will continue to monitor your heart rate for a while. The measurement will resume once you wear the band again.
  • Your band can measure your heart rate when you have connected it to your phone, and started a workout via the Huawei Health app.
  • Open the Huawei Health app to view the heart rate graph for each workout, maximum heart rate, or your average heart rate.

Heart rate limit and zones

Once you have set an upper limit, your band will vibrate once if your heart rate exceeds the value during a workout. At the same time, it will display an alert message on your screen, it will only disappear once your heart rate returns to the normal range, or you swipe right on the screen to dismiss the message.
Perform the following to set a heart rate limit:

• iOS users: Open the Huawei Health app, touch Device, then touch the band icon and go to Heart rate limit and zones > Heart rate limit and set your own heart rate limit.
• Android users: Open the Huawei Health app, go to Me > Settings > Heart rate limit and set your own heart rate limit.
  
  • An upper heart rate alert for workouts can be set to any value between 100 and 220 bpm.
  • Heart rate alerts are only effective during active workouts and cannot be triggered during daily activity.

• For a more accurate result, it is recommended that you wait three to five minutes after putting your band on to measure your SpO₂.
• Keep still and wear your band a little bit tightly during the measurement, but avoid it from coming into contact with the joint. Ensure that the heart rate sensor is in touch with the skin and there are no foreign objects between your skin and the band. Make sure the band screen is facing up.
• During the measurement, the band will also measure your heart rate.
