Cleaning and managing the Watch

Follow the points below to ensure your Watch functions correctly and maintains its appearance. Failure to do so may damage the Watch and cause the skin irritation.

• Turn off the Watch and remove the band before cleaning it.
• Prevent the device from being exposed to dust, sweat, ink, oil, and chemical products such as cosmetics, antibacterial spray, hand cleaner, detergent, and insecticides. The Watch’s exterior and interior parts may be damaged or it could result in poor performance. If your Watch is exposed to any of the previously mentioned substances, use a lint-free, soft cloth to clean it.
• Do not use soap, cleaning agents, abrasive materials and compressed air when cleaning your Watch and do not clean it with ultrasonic waves or external heat sources. Doing so may damage the Watch. Skin irritation may be caused by soap, detergents, hand sanitizers, or cleaning agents left on the Watch. • When you remove sun block, lotion, or oil, use a soap-free detergent, then rinse and dry your Watch thoroughly.
• The hybrid band is not water-resistant. Do not swim or take a shower while using the hybrid band.
• The hybrid band may make squeaking sound where it connects with the Watch due to the characteristics of the leather material. This is normal and you can address this issue by applying leather care products to the band at the connection point.
• Avoid exposing the Watch’s hybrid band to direct sunlight, hot or humid environments, or water. The leather material’s colour and form may change if you do so. If it gets wet, wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth immediately and dry it in a well-ventilated and shaded place.

Battery charging tips and precautions

• If there are obstructions between the Watch and the wireless charger, it may not charge properly. Check if there is any sweat, liquid, or dust on them before charging.
• If the battery is completely discharged, the Watch cannot be turned on immediately when the wireless charger is connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a few minutes before turning the Watch on.
• If you use multiple apps at once, network apps, or apps that need a connection to another device, the battery will drain quickly. To avoid losing power during a data transfer, always use these apps after fully charging the battery.
• When connecting the wireless charger to another power source, such as a computer or multi-charging hub, the Watch may not charge properly or it may charge more slowly due to a lower electric current.
• The Watch can be used while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully charge the battery.
• If the watch’s power supply is unstable while being used and charged at the same time, the touchscreen may not function. If this happens, disconnect the Watch from the wireless charger.
• While charging, the Watch may heat up. This is normal and should not affect the Watch’s lifespan or performance. Before wearing the Watch, allow it to cool down for a while before using it. If the battery gets hotter than usual, the charger may stop charging.
• If you charge the Watch while the wireless charger is wet, the Watch may be damaged. Thoroughly dry the wireless charger before charging the Watch.
• If the Watch is not charging properly, visit a Samsung Service Centre.
• Avoid using a bent or damaged wireless charger cable. If the wireless charger cable is damaged, stop using it.

Wearing the Watch

Putting on the Watch
Open the buckle and place your Watch around your wrist. Fit the band to your wrist, insert the pin into an adjustment hole, and then secure the buckle to close it. If the band is too loose or too tight on your wrist, select a different hole.
**** Do not bend the band excessively. Doing so may damage the Watch.

• To measure your physical condition accurately, wear the Watch firmly around your lower arm above the wrist. Refer to How to wear the Watch for accurate measurements for more information.
• When certain materials come into contact with the back of the Watch, your Watch may recognize that you are wearing it on your wrist.
• If the sensors on the back of your Watch do not come into contact with your wrist for more than 10 minutes, your Watch may recognize that you are not wearing it on your wrist.

Band tips and precautions

• For accurate measurement, you have to wear the Watch so that it fits your wrist. After measuring, loosen the band to allow air to reach your skin. It is recommended to wear the Watch so that it is not too loose or tight, and that it feels comfortable in normal circumstances.
• When you wear the Watch for a long time or do a high-intensity exercise while wearing it, skin irritation may occur due to certain factors, such as friction, pressure, or moisture. If you have been wearing your Watch for a long time, remove it from your wrist for a while to keep your skin healthy and allow your wrist to rest.
• Skin irritation may occur due to an allergy, environment factors, other factors, or when your skin is exposed to soap or sweat for long periods. In this case, stop using your Watch immediately and wait 2 or 3 days for the symptoms to ease. If the symptoms persist or worsen, call your doctor.
• Make sure your skin is dry before wearing your Watch. If you wear a wet Watch for a long time, your skin may be affected.
• If you use your Watch in the water, remove foreign materials from your skin and Watch and dry them thoroughly to prevent the skin irritation.
• Do not use any accessories in water, only the Watch.

Connecting the band

Connect the band before using your Watch. You can detach the band from the Watch and replace it with a new one. Remove the band in the reverse order of how you connected it.
**** Be careful not to damage your fingernail when sliding the spring bar while connecting or replacing bands.

• The supplied band may vary depending on the region or model.
• The supplied band’s size may vary depending on the model. Use the proper band that fits your model’s size.

1. Insert one end of the band’s spring bar into the Watch’s lug.
   

2. Slide the spring bar inwards and connect the band.
   

How to wear the Watch for accurate measurements

For accurate measurements, wear the Watch firmly around your lower arm above the wrist while leaving a finger’s worth of space as shown in the figure below.

• **** If you fasten the Watch too tightly, skin irritation may occur and if you fasten it too loosely, friction may occur.
• Do not look directly at the optical heart rate sensor’s lights. Make sure children do not look directly at the lights. Doing so may impair your vision.
• If the Watch becomes hot to the touch, remove it until it cools. Exposing your skin to a hot surface of the Watch for a long time may cause low-temperature burns.
• Remove all water from your Watch and the band before measuring your body composition and ECG.
• Use the HR feature only for measuring your heart rate. The accuracy of the optical heart rate sensor may be diminished depending on measurement conditions and surroundings.
• Cold ambient temperatures may affect your measurement; during winter or cold weather, keep yourself warm when checking your heart rate.
• Smoking or consuming alcohol before taking measurements may cause your heart rate to be different from your normal heart rate.
• Do not move, talk, yawn, or breathe deeply while taking heart rate measurements. Doing so may cause your heart rate to be recorded inaccurately.
• If your heart rate is extremely high or low, measurements may be inaccurate.
• If measuring children’s heart rates, the measurement may not accurate.
• Users with thin wrists may receive inaccurate heart rate measurements when the device is loose, causing the light to be reflected unevenly. In this case, wear the Watch around your lower arm above the wrist.
• If heart rate measurement is not working properly, adjust the position of the device’s optical heart rate sensor to the right, left, up, or down on your wrist, or wear the device on your inner arm so that the sensor is in contact with your skin.
• If the optical heart rate sensor and the electrical biosensors are dirty, wipe the sensor and try again. If foreign materials prevent the light from reflecting evenly, the measurement may not accurate.
• The optical heart rate sensor may be affected by tattoos, marks, and hair on the wrist you wear your Watch on. These may cause your Watch not to recognise that you are wearing it, and the Watch’s features may not work properly. Therefore, wear your Watch on a wrist that does not interfere with the Watch’s features.
• The measurement features may not work properly due to certain factors, such as the light from the optical heart rate sensor being blocked, depending on your skin brightness, blood flow under your skin, and the cleanliness of the sensor area.
• For accurate measurements, use the Ridge sport band. The Ridge sport band may be sold separately depending on the model.
