Monitoring your heart rate

Monitoring your heart rate

Wear your watch to monitor your heart rate using one of the following methods.

Scenario 1: Press the power button, swipe up or down on your watch screen, choose  Heart rate, and follow the onscreen instructions to enable the heart rate sensor. Your watch will then measure your heart rate.

To ensure higher accuracy, wear your watch with the watch screen facing upward and gently press the watch to make sure it makes proper contact with your wrist. Do not move.

Scenario 2: Your watch measures your heart rate while you exercise. If your heart rate exceeds the set limit, your watch will notify you.

Scenario 3: Your watch will measure your heart rate every 10 minutes throughout the day once your watch detects that you are wearing it.

 
  • To ensure higher heart rate accuracy, wear your watch properly.
  • The data from the watch cannot be used as a basis for medical purposes.

Heart rate limit warning

Enable the heart rate limit warning in the Huawei Health app. If your heart rate exceeds the set limit when you are working out, your watch will notify you.

To get a warning from your watch, choose My > Settings > Heart rate limit interval and warning, and switch on Heart rate limit warning.

You can set your heart rate limit in Heart rate limit.

Heart rate limit intervals

Heart rate limit intervals are an effective way to measure exercise intensity. Keeping your heart rate within the appropriate limit interval while exercising can increase your cardiopulmonary capabilities and improve your exercise results. Understanding your heart rate limit interval can prevent you from over-exercising and injuring yourself.

A heart rate limit interval refers to the heart rate range per minute, which is calculated based on the percentage of the maximum heart rate.

In Huawei Health app, choose My > Settings > Heart rate limit interval and warning, and touch Maximum to set your maximum heart rate. The preset maximum heart rate on your watch is 220 minus your age.
