Heart Rate Features
The Instinct Solar Surf device has a wrist-based heart rate
monitor and is also compatible with chest heart rate monitors
(sold separately). You can view heart rate data on the heart rate
widget. If both wrist-based heart rate and chest heart rate data
are available when you start an activity, your device uses the
chest heart rate data.
Using the Stress Level Widget
The stress level widget displays your current stress level and a
graph of your stress level for the last several hours. It can also
guide you through a breathing activity to help you relax.
1
While you are sitting or inactive, press UP or DOWN from the
watch face to view the stress level widget.
2
Wait until the device begins the stress level reading.
TIP: If you are too active for the watch to determine your
stress level, a message appears instead of a stress level
number. You can check your stress level again after several
minutes of inactivity.
3
Press GPS to view a graph of your stress level for the last 2.5
hours.
4
To start a breathing activity, press DOWN > GPS, and enter
a duration for the breathing activity in minutes.
Wrist-based Heart Rate
Wearing the Device
Wear the device above your wrist bone.
NOTE: The device should be snug but comfortable. For more
accurate heart rate readings, the device should not move
while running or exercising. For pulse oximeter readings, you
should remain motionless.
NOTE: The optical sensor is located on the back of the
device.
See Tips for Erratic Heart Rate Data, page 14 for more
information about wrist-based heart rate.

these tips.
Clean and dry your arm before putting on the device.
Avoid wearing sunscreen, lotion, and insect repellent under
the device.
Avoid scratching the heart rate sensor on the back of the
device.
Wear the device above your wrist bone. The device should
be snug but comfortable.
Wait until the icon is solid before starting your activity.
Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes and get a heart rate reading
before starting your activity.

The widget displays your current heart rate in beats per minute
(bpm) and a graph of your heart rate for the last 4 hours.

rate widget.

the last 7 days.
