When this feature is enabled, the watch will continuously measure your real-time heart rate.

You can view graphs for your heart rate in the Huawei Health app.

Using Real-time mode will increase the power consumption of your watch while Smart mode will adjust

the heart rate measurement interval based on the intensity of your activity, thus reducing power

consumption.

Resting heart rate measurement

Resting heart rate refers to the heart rate when it is measured in a quiet and relaxed

environment when you are awake. It is a general indicator of cardiovascular health.

The best time to measure your resting heart rate is immediately after you have woken up in

the morning. Your actual resting heart rate may not be displayed or accurately measured if

your heart rate was measured at the wrong time.

To automatically measure your heart rate, enable

Continuous heart rate monitoring

in the

Huawei Health app.

If "--" is displayed as the resting heart rate reading, it indicates that your watch was unable to

measure your resting heart rate. In this case, ensure that you measure your resting heart rate in

a quiet and relaxed environment when you are awake. It is recommended that you measure

your resting heart rate immediately after you wake up in the morning for the most accurate

result.

If you disable

Continuous heart rate monitoring

after checking your resting heart rate, the resting

heart rate displayed in the Huawei Health app will remain the same.

Heart rate warning

After you start a workout using your watch, your watch will vibrate to alert you that your

heart rate value has exceeded the upper limit for more than 10 seconds. To view and configure

your heart rate limit, perform the following:

Open the Huawei Health app, go to

Me > Settings > Heart rate limit and zones

and select

your desired heart rate limit. The following figure shows how to set your heart rate limit:
