The device and some accessories (sold separately) contain magnets. The American
Heart Association (US) and the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency
(UK) both warn that magnets can affect the operation of implanted pacemakers,
cardioverters, defibrillators, insulin pumps or other electro medical devices (collectively,
“Medical Device”) within the range of 15 cm (6 inches). If you are a user of any of
these Medical Devices, DO NOT USE THIS DEVICE AND SOME ACCESSORIES (SOLD
SEPARATELY) UNLESS YOU HAVE CONSULTED WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN.
• Do not store your device and some accessories (sold separately) near magnetic fields.
Magnetic stripe cards, including credit cards, phone cards, passbooks, and boarding
passes, may be damaged by magnetic fields.
• When using the speakers, such as when playing media files, do not place the Watch
close to your ears.
• Ensure that the band is kept clean. Contact with contaminants, such as dust and dye,
can cause stains on the band that may not be fully removed.
• Do not insert sharp objects into the atmospheric pressure sensor, the pressure vent,
speaker, or the microphone. Inner components of the Watch may be damaged along
with the water-resistance feature.
• If you use the Watch with its glass body broken, there may be a risk of injury. Use the
Watch only after it has been repaired at a Samsung Service Centre.
• Connectivity problems and battery drain may occur in the following situations:
– If you use a metallic band
– If you attach metallic stickers on the antenna area of the Watch
– If you cover the Watch’s antenna area with your hands or other objects while
using certain features, such as calls or the mobile data connection (LTE models)
• Do not cover the light sensor area with screen accessories, such as a screen protector
or stickers. Doing so may cause the sensor to malfunction.
• Make sure the Watch’s microphone is not obstructed when you are speaking into it.
• The pressure vent ensures that Watch’s inner parts and sensors work correctly when
you use the Watch in environment where the atmospheric pressure changes.
• The leather on the hybrid band is made of natural leather with minimised processing.
The band’s irregular patterns, leather grains, pores, scars, as well as the natural colour
change, including metachromatic stains, which may occur during use, are a natural
phenomenon of the leather and not product defects.

• 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.

the auto detect workouts feature will be activated. Also the Watch will notify you and show
you some stretching motions to follow or it will show you a screen encouraging you to
engage in light activity when the Watch recognises inactivity for more than 50 minutes. When
your Watch recognises that you are driving or sleeping, it may not notify you and not display
a stretching screen although you are physically inactive.

to the different parts of your body.

medical purposes, such as diagnosing the symptoms, treatment, or prevention of
disease.

Body composition
Measure your body composition, such as your skeletal muscle mass or fat mass.
• This feature is only for your general wellness and fitness. Therefore, do not use it for
medical purposes, such as diagnosing the symptoms, treatment, or prevention of
disease.
• Do not measure your body composition if you have an implanted cardiac pacemaker,
defibrillator, or if any other electronic device is inside of your body.
• A low electric current goes through your body when measuring your body
composition. Although it is harmless to humans, do not measure your body
composition if you are pregnant.
• For accurate measurements, wear the Watch firmly around your lower arm above
the wrist. Refer to How to wear the Watch for accurate measurements for more
information.
• If the measured body composition results are inaccurate, check your user profile in
the Samsung Health app on the smartphone and modify it.
• 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.
• The Watch uses the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) method when measuring
body composition, which has more than 98% correlation compared to the
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) method, which is regarded as the golden
standard.
