Heart rate measurement during a workout

During a workout, your wearable device displays your real-time heart rate and heart rate zone, and notifies you when your heart rate exceeds the pre-set upper limit. For better training results, you're advised to use heart rate zones as a guide for your exercise.

  • To choose the calculation method for heart rate zones, go to Huawei Health > Me > Settings > Workout settings > Exercise heart rate settings. For your runs, set Heart rate zones to Maximum heart rate percentage, HRR percentage, or LTHR percentage. For other workout modes, choose either Maximum heart rate percentage or HRR percentage.

information

  • If you select Maximum heart rate percentage as the calculation method, your heart rate zones for different workout intensities (namely Extreme, Anaerobic, Aerobic, Fatburning, and Warm-up) are calculated based on your maximum heart rate (HRmax = 220 – Your age).
  • If you select HRR percentage as the calculation method, your heart rate zones for different workout intensities (namely Advanced anaerobic, Basic anaerobic, Lactate threshold, Advanced aerobic, and Basic aerobic) are calculated based on your heart rate reserve (or HRR, determined by taking your maximal heart rate and subtracting your resting heart rate).

After you start a workout, you'll see your real-time heart rate on your wearable screen. At the end of the workout, you can view your average heart rate, maximum heart rate, and heart rate zones on the workout results screen.

information

  • During a workout, your real-time heart rate will not display once your wearable device is removed from your wrist, but the device will continue to search for your heart rate signal for a while. The measurement will resume once you put the device back on.
  • You can view graphs that show the changes in your heart rate, maximum heart rate, and average heart rate for each workout from Exercise records on the Huawei Health home screen.

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 main board.

information 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 Complies with the 5 ATM-rated resistance level under the ISO 22810:2010 standard. Products that meet this standard can withstand up to 50 meters of static water pressure for 10 minutes. This does not necessarily mean that the device is water-resistant in water that is 50-meter deep. The wearable device should not be worn in the following scenarios: (Damage to the device caused by immersion in liquid is not covered by the warranty if the device is worn in an inappropriate scenario.)
  1. Hot showers, hot springs, saunas (steam rooms), and other activities in high temperature and/or high-humidity environments.
  2. Activities that could expose the device to shower gel, shampoo, soapy water, and any other laundry or cleaning products. If the device does come into contact with any such product, rinse and soak the device in fresh water for 30 minutes.
  3. Scuba dives, technical dives, and diving activities at depths greater than 40 meters.
  4. Composite vegan leather, composite woven, titanium, and ceramic straps are not designed for water activities (such as swimming) or to withstand sweat, and therefore it is recommended that other straps be used in such scenarios.

Dive (Depth up to 40 meters)

(HUAWEI WATCH GT 5 Pro only)

IP69K

Complies with the IP69K rating under the ISO 20653:2023 standard. The IPX9K test conditions are as follows: water temperature: 80±5°C; water flow:

15±1 L/min; water pressure:
10,000±500 kPa; spray angle: 0°, 30°, 60°, and 90°, 30 seconds for each angle.

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.
