Samsung Health
Introduction
Samsung Health records and manages your 24-hour activity and sleep pattern to cultivate a
healthy habit. When connecting your Galaxy Watch to your mobile devices, you can save and
manage the health-related data and also receive the useful information about your health
every day.
When you exercise for more than 10 minutes while wearing the Galaxy Watch, it will display
an encouraging message. When the Galaxy Watch recognises inactivity for more than one
hour, it will notify you and show you some stretching motions to follow. When your Galaxy
Watch recognises you are driving, it may not display an encouraging message or stretches.
Tap (Samsung Health) on the Apps screen.
• Samsung Health features are intended only for leisure, well-being, and fitness
purposes. They are not intended for medical use. Before using these features, read
the instructions carefully.
• Any information that is obtained from use of the Galaxy Watch or the Fit Software
or any application preloaded within may not be suitable, accurate, complete or

Apps and features
• Smoking or consuming alcohol before taking measurements may cause your heart
rate to be different from your normal heart rate.
• Do not talk, yawn, or breathe deeply while taking heart rate measurements. Doing
so may cause your heart rate to be recorded inaccurately.
• Because the heart rate sensor uses light to approximate heart rate, its accuracy
may vary due to physical factors that affect light absorption and reflection, such as
blood circulation/blood pressure, skin condition and location and concentration of
blood vessels. In addition, if your heart rate is extremely high or low, measurements
may be inaccurate.
• Users with thin wrists may receive inaccurate heart rate measurements when
the device is loose, causing the light to be reflected unevenly. If heart rate
measurement is not working properly, adjust the position of the device’s heart rate
sensor to the right, left, up, or down on your wrist, or turn the device so the heart
rate sensor sits firmly against the inside of your wrist.
• If the heart rate sensor is dirty, wipe the sensor and try again. Obstructions
between the device’s band and your wrist, such as body hair, dirt, or other objects
may prevent the light from reflecting evenly. Please make sure you remove such
obstructions before use.
• If your device becomes hot to the touch, please remove it until it cools. Exposing
skin to a hot surface of the device for a long time may cause skin burn.

a certain goal has been reached.
