16. My heart rate readings seems inaccurate, what should I do?
Inaccurate heart rate readings appears to be due to the fit of the device band itself. A
loosely fitting band that moves around at all, or that has notable gaps between the device
and the skin, can easily cause an inaccurate reading. For the most accurate heart rate
readings, you will want to be sure you’re wearing the device on the top of your wrist and
it's fairly snug against your skin.
As the heart rate sensor is basically a pulse oximeter which monitors the perfusion of
blood to the dermis, it’s prone to inaccuracies.That’s because skin perfusion — a measure
of how much blood flows through your skin — varies significantly from person to another.
Especially the ones who have dark skin, hairy wrists, tattoo, and scar.
If you’re seeing a reading that doesn’t look quite right, please check the following:
