Introduction to Your Timex
®
Health Touch
Watch
Our technology measures the electronic signals that pass through your
body as a result of the beating of your heart. This measurement is
obtained by the watch’s two sensors located in the top ring and the case
back. The case back is the primary sensor plate that measures these
electronic signals off your arm.
The ECG (electrocardiogram) measurement is done when you place
your finger from the opposite hand onto the top ring of the watch.
This creates a loop across your body from where the watch can now
determine your heart rate.
Please remove any stickers from the face or case back of the watch to
assure optimal heart rate measurement.

The watch buttons are not intended for use in or under water as this will
compromise the watch’s water resistance.

Measuring Your Heart Rate
To get your heart rate reading, follow these three simple steps:
1. Strap the watch snugly around your wrist.
8
9
2. Place your finger on the watch’s Heart Rate Sensor (the stainless steel
top ring) and touch gently for 5-8 seconds (the heart icon will flash).
3. The Health Touch™ watch will beep and your heart rate will be
displayed in beats per minute (BPM).
Your Heart Rate reading will remain displayed for 6 seconds after you
remove your finger from the Heart Rate Sensor.
This watch is a sensitive monitoring device that reads your ECG signals
and reading times may vary. If you do not get a reading, remove your
finger from the bezel for 30 seconds and try again. If you still do not get
a reading refer to the Troubleshooting - Heart Rate section.
Heart Rate Lock
The Heart Rate Lock feature prevents triggering the heart rate feature
from accidental contact and environments where excessive water/
moisture is present. An example would be in a pool where the watch is
submerged in water. Since water acts as a natural conductor, it can
accidentally trigger the heart rate feature.
To activate the Heart Rate Lock:
1. In Time of Day, hold RESET for 3 seconds.
2. The l”icon will appear, and if you try to measure
your heart rate, the message “Hr OFF” will display.
3. To unlock the heart rate feature, repeat Step 1.
NOTE: If you need to take a heart rate reading while the watch is
“locked”, there is an override to this feature. Press RESET, and while the
l is flashing, measure your heart rate. Once the heart rate is displayed,
the Lock feature is reinstated.
10

Relative Heart Rate
Relative Heart Rate is your current heart rate divided by your maximum
heart rate, and can be a useful reference to manage how hard you are
working during your exercise.
Maximum Heart Rate is calculated as:
Male: 220 minus your age; Female: 226 minus your age
Your Relative Heart Rate will be displayed as a percentage below your
BPM heart rate.
Target Heart Rate Zone
The Target Heart Rate Zone feature compares your
measured heart rate with your targeted heart rate zone.
If your heart rate is within the target zone, the watch
will beep once and your heart rate will display with the
message “ZONE-In”.
If your heart rate is lower than your target zone lower limit, the watch will
beep twice and your heart rate will display with the message “ZONE-Lo”.
If your heart rate is higher than your target zone upper
limit, the watch will beep twice and your heart rate will
display with the message ZONE-HI”.
Example: Debbie’s target zone is 80 BPM (Low) to 120
BPM (High). After 5 minutes of walking, Debbie
measures her heart rate at 72 BPM. She is under her
target zone and can decide to pick up her pace.
Target Heart Rate Zone Setup
You can customize the settings in your watch to more
accurately determine calories burned and to set a
personalized target zone. The following chart provides
some heart rate target ranges for your reference.

in the display and your Heart Rate Zone Alert
function will be enabled.
Activity

2. During your workout gently touch and leave your finger on the Heart
Rate Sensor top ring for 5-8 seconds until your heart rate appears.
3. Press START/STOP again to stop timing.

Care and Maintenance
To ensure proper function of your Heart Rate Watch:
The watch buttons are not intended for use in or under water as this
will compromise the watch’s water resistance.
Avoid rough usage or severe impacts to the watch.
Keep the top ring sensor and the case back plate free from dirt, oils, or
other contaminants.
Periodically clean the watch using a soft cloth with mild soap and
water, or similar cleaning solution.
Keep the watch out of extreme heat or cold.
Do not expose the watch to intense direct sunlight for long periods
of time.
Do not expose the watch to chemicals such as gasoline, alcohol,
solvents, insect repellent or sunscreen.
Troubleshooting – Heart Rate
If you are having difficulty measuring your heart rate, you may want to try
the following steps. Try each of these in succession until you are able to
measure your heart rate:
1. Make sure the watch is snugly strapped to your wrist. A loose fit
makes it more difficult to properly measure your heart rate.
2. When touching the heart rate sensor, make sure you are using the
soft, flat pad of your finger, not the tip of your finger.
3. Press gently with enough pressure to activate the heart rate measure
function. Muscle “noise” from pressing too hard can make it difficult to
measure your heart rate.
22
23
4. Make sure the case back metal plate of the watch is laying flat on your
skin.
5. Make sure your wrist and finger are clean and free from dirt, oils, or
lotions.
6. Stay still, and relax your arms on a stable surface while taking your
heart rate.
7. Clean the top ring sensor and the case back metal plate with a mild
soap and water, or similar cleaning solution.
8. Moisten, with water, the pad of the finger you are using to contact the
top ring sensor on the face of the watch.
9. Moisten, with water, the surface between the case back metal plate of
the watch and the skin on your wrist.
10. If the watch was exposed to excessive water/moisture, such as being
in a pool or in the shower, dry the watch before attempting to acquire
a heart rate.

Battery
Battery replacement will be required from time to time, and should occur
when:
The display fades in part or completely
The Heart Rate function will not activate
The battery life will vary depending on usage of the light and heart rate

We recommend battery replacement be done by a watch repair service
center to ensure the water seals are not compromised during the
process.
