SAFETY AND REGULATORY INFORMATION

INTENDED USE

SUUNTO 5 is a sports watch that tracks your movement and other metrics, such as heart
rate and calories. SUUNTO 5 is only for recreational use and not meant for medical
purposes of any kind.
OPTICAL HEART RATE
Optical heart rate measurement from the wrist is an easy and convenient way to
track your heart rate. Best results for heart rate measurement may be affected by the
following factors:
• The watch must be worn directly against your skin. No clothing, however thin, can be
between the sensor and your skin.
• The watch may need to be higher on your arm than where watches are normally
worn. The sensor reads blood flow through tissue. The more tissue it can read,
the better.
• Arm movements and flexing muscles, such as gripping a tennis racket, can change
the accuracy of the sensor readings.
• When your heart rate is low, the sensor may not be able to provide stable readings. A
short warm up of a few minutes before you start the recording helps.
• Skin pigmentation and tattoos block light and prevent reliable readings from the
optical sensor.
• The optical sensor may not provide accurate heart rate readings for swimming
activities.
• For higher accuracy and quicker responses to changes in your heart rate, we
recommend using a compatible chest heart rate sensor such as Suunto Smart
Sensor.
