Turning Off the Wrist-based Heart Rate Monitor

The default value for the Wrist Heart Rate setting is Auto. The watch automatically uses the wrist-based heart rate monitor unless you pair a compatible heart rate monitor with ANT+® or Bluetooth technology to the watch.

NOTE: Disabling the wrist-based heart rate monitor also disables the wrist-based pulse oximeter sensor and the wrist gesture setting ().

  1. From the watch face, hold UP.
  2. Select Health & Wellness > Wrist Heart Rate > Status > Off.
