Health operating instructors
Heart Rate (HR) – gives the current heart rate (tap icon to imitate).
Note: if reading appears inaccurate try again, ensuring that the watch is
firmly abashed to arm.
Fatigue
This tests the heart rate variability (HRV).
Place your index finger or thumb on the electrode on the device (see diagram).
Hold the posture for about 1 minute.
Electrode symbol
Ensure the pink bar is complete, then view data on the screen.
External factors such as stress, sleep levels, sickness and heart rate will result in a reading which will assist you in determining your fatigue level.
Fatigue degree levels are defined as follows:
- 100: excellent
- 80-100: good
- 65-80: normal
- 50-65: fatigued
- Less than 50: bad
It is recommended that you reduce your training intensity if below 65; or increase training if higher than 80.
Please note:
a) HRV is still a new concept.
b) Important that when testing, you remain still: it is recommended you
conduct the test at the same time of the day when your body is in a similar
condition.

Why are heart rate measurements unsuccessful?
In general, thick hair or dark skin will affect the rate of success of measuring heart rate.
Why can’t I get results for fatigue data?
May be due to weak ECG signal; moisten wrist to increase the conductivity.
Why does my fatigue value fluctuate?
Ensure that you are in a relaxed state when conducting fatigue test. In addition keep posture consistent because fatigue will change with the body position, such as lying or standing
Tip: Generally measure in the morning when getting up.
Why does my step count appear incorrect?
Ensure that you entered exact basic information in your APP, such as: gender, age, height, weight, etc., this can increase the accuracy of pedometer.
Why is my GPS positioning slow?
In general, the first time will be slow, you can connect via the app to help with locating.
Why is there no cycling distance; or cycling distance inaccurate?
Cycling distance is calculated based on GPS positioning; if the GPS positioning is not successful, it will not display the distance until connected. During exercise pause activity for more accurate results.
What do I do if my device freezes?
Turn your GPS1 off and restart the device.
Important safety and product information
If you have a pacemaker or other internal electronic device, consult your physician before using a heart rate monitor. The GPS1 opal wrist heart rate monitor emits green light and flashes occasionally. Consult your physician if you have epilepsy or are sensive to flashing lights. Always consult your physician before beginning or modifying any exercise program. The heart rate monitor, and related data are only intended to be used for recreaonal purposes, not for medical purposes, and are not intended to diagnose, monitor, treat, cure, or prevent heart disease.
While the device optical wrist heart rate monitor technology typically provides an accurate measurement of user’s heart rate, there are inherent limitans with the technology that may cause some of the heart rate readings to be inaccurate under certain circumstances. These include the user’s physical characteriscs, fitment of the device, and type and intensity of cavity.
The heart rate readings are for reference only, and no responsibility is accepted for the consequences of any incorrect readings.
The cavity trackers rely on sensors that track your movement and other metrics. The data and information provided by these devices is intended to be close of your cavity and metrics tracked, but may not be completely accurate, including step, sleep, distance, heart rate, and calorie data.
