Health and fitness Continuous heart rate monitoring To enable this feature, connect your watch to your phone using the Huawei Health app and enable Continuous heart rate monitoring in the Huawei Health app. Once this feature is enabled, your watch can measure your real-time heart rate. Set the MONITORING MODE to Smart or Real-time. • Smart mode 1 The heart rate measurement will be performed every 10 minutes for low-intensity activities (such as when you are not moving). 2 The heart rate measurement will be performed every 10 minutes for moderate-intensity activities (such as when you are walking). 3 The heart rate measurement will be performed once a second for high-intensity activities (such as when you are running) and it takes 6 to 10 seconds to display the first heart rate value, though this may vary between individuals). • Real-time mode: The heart rate measurement will be performed once a second for any type of activity intensity. 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. 29
