Troubleshooting

[Dynamic Goal] is a personalized step goal that encourages you to aim higher. Based on your fitness data history of at least 7 days, the app analyzes and recommends a goal that will motivate you and/or take you closer to achieving your daily goals. Every Monday, a new dynamic goal is automatically set based on how active you were in the previous week.

The minimum dynamic goal is 3000 steps. If your existing step goal is lower than 3000, it will be reset to 3000 once [Dynamic Goal] is enabled. The default step goal for first-time users is 6000.

You cannot change the goal the app recommends, but you can disable [Dynamic Goal] and manually set your personal goal in the [Set Goals] section (From the app home screen, tap on the hamburger button on the left > [Wellness) > [Set Goals]).

Dynamic Cards are interactive tiles that show your latest activities, reminders to inspire you throughout the day, or shortcuts to functional areas such as watch face customization, alert setup, promo deals, and more.

Not at the moment. A card goes away when it reaches its expiration, a certain completion state, or when you tap on it to explore the feature. The app will show you new cards based on your recent interactions or upcoming events to personalize your experience with the app.

• Blood oxygen saturation level, also indicated as SpO₂, is a measure of the percentage of oxygen carried by your blood. A normal SpO₂ level ranges from 95% to 100%. However, this may change, depending on different factors, such as current health conditions, altitude, or exercising. Maintaining a normal blood oxygen level is necessary since, in some cases, blood oxygen levels can be indicative of health problems.
• You can keep track of your estimated blood oxygen levels in Wellness app on your watch, either by initiating a new reading or by allowing background readings.
• SpO₂ measurements on your watch are not for medical use. Thus, please consult your doctor if you have any health concerns.

• Your watch tracks your blood oxygen levels by measuring the reflection of red, green, and infrared light signals coming from the back of your watch.

• To set up Blood Oxygen (SpO₂) Tracking on your watch:
  • Open Wellness app on watch
  • Enable Blood Oxygen Tracking
  • Make sure all the required permissions are granted

• To enable background readings, please enable both Sleep Tracking & Blood Oxygen Tracking in Wellness app. Your watch will automatically track your SpO₂ during sleep.

You can track your blood oxygen levels with your watch in one of the following ways:

• Take a new reading:
  • Open Wellness app on your watch
  • Select Blood Oxygen
  • Tap “New Reading”
  • Stay still until the reading completes

• Allow background readings:
  • Make sure that you enable both Sleep Tracking & Blood Oxygen Tracking in Wellness app
  • Wear the watch to sleep for background SpO₂ reading

• Wear your watch slightly higher up your arm and avoid pressing your watch against your wrist bone.
• Make sure your watch fits comfortably on your wrist. Wearing your watch too tight constricts the blood circulation while wearing it too loose may let other light in, which affects the measurement.
• Place your hand on a flat surface with your fingers resting open. The back of your watch should be in contact with your skin.
• Stay still and avoid interacting with the watch during the measurement.
• Avoid direct bright light on the watch while reading. This may interfere with the photodiode which measures the reflection of light signals and produce inaccurate results.
• If your hands and arms are cold, try warming them up first.
• Tattoos may affect the measurement and the accuracy of the final results.
• Your blood oxygen level can also be influenced by different factors, such as current health conditions, altitude, breathing rate or exercising.

• To view your Blood oxygen levels;
  • Open Wellness app on your watch
  • Select Blood Oxygen
  • Your most recent Blood oxygen level is displayed on the screen. To view past data, please scroll up to access the history.

• Yes. However, the power consumption won’t considerably affect your normal usage.

• Refer to the privacy policy in the app. Tap the three lines on the top left corner of the app. Select [About] and then select [Privacy Policy]
