1.4 Wearing and Replacing Strap
For optimal comfort and sensor accuracy, wear the watch neither too tight nor too loose, allowing for skin ventilation.

Adjust strap tightness during exercise and loosen it afterward if the watch feels loose or data is not generated. To replace the strap, follow the visual guide (describe the process: typically involves releasing a pin or mechanism on the strap connector).
Note: After installing a new strap, gently pull it to ensure it's securely attached. Leather straps are not waterproof; use fluoroelastomer or silicone straps for water activities.

Place your arm on a stable surface with the screen facing up. 4. Remain still and focus during measurement. 5. Hair, tattoos, movement, cold, or improper fit can affect results. 6. The measurement range is 80%-100%. This function is for reference only and not a medical diagnosis.
6.14 Stress
Stress levels are calculated based on Heart Rate Variability (HRV). High stress may indicate a need for rest. View stress information via the Stress app. You can also enable 'All-day Stress Monitoring' in the Zepp App ('Me' > 'My Devices' > 'Amazfit GTR 2e' > 'Health Monitoring') to track stress levels every 5 minutes.
