you’ll still see a card on your watch.

Most notifications you see on your phone will also show up on your watch. These include
notifications for missed calls, texts, event reminders, and more. When you get a
notification, your watch will only vibrate (i.e. it will not make any sounds).

Wear the smartwatch above your wrist bone with the watch still and flat against your
skin.

Assign Heart Rate to one of your watch face’s data points from the brand watch app
options. Your BPM reading will automatically update every twenty minutes after the first
reading, or you can prompt a reading at any time by tapping the icon. You will see
dashes on your screen after tapping the heart rate icon; be patient. It can take 10-15
seconds to capture a reading. If the sensors have trouble capturing your heart rate, the
smartwatch will walk you back through wear recommendations.
