  2. Furthermore, skin temperature is affected by the surrounding environment.
  3. During sleep, make sure to maintain a constant wearing method, wearing position, posture, clothing, and surrounding temperature, and check whether the measurement was performed according to the following guide for skin temperature measurement during sleep.

[Guide for skin temperature measurement during sleep]

  • For accurate measurement, wear the watch tightly on your wrist with about one finger's distance from your carpal bone.
  • For accurate measurement, wear your watch for at least 4 hours during sleep at night.
  • For accurate results, we recommend wearing the watch at least 5 nights a week.
  • Fully charge the watch's battery to 30% or more before measurement.
  • For accurate measurement, please ensure that the surface of the infrared temperature sensor lens is clean.

* Accurate skin temperature measurement may be difficult if there are dust particles or stains on the surface of the infrared temperature sensor lens. Please wipe with a soft cloth or cotton swab.
