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 tight on
your wrist, use the hole one further out.
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 recognise 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 recognise 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 except the Watch in the water.

If you fasten the Watch too tightly, the 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.
Getting Started

•
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.

Unlike professional body composition measuring instruments, the Watch, which
has to be worn your wrist, measures the upper body’s composition and estimates
your entire body’s composition to provide the results. Therefore the measured body
composition results may be inaccurate in the following cases: when your upper and
lower body’s composition is too unbalanced, when you are extremely obese, or when
you have a very large amount of muscles.
•
