Note: The BIA sensor sends microcurrents to the body to measure certain parameters. While this is safe, it is still advised that pregnant women or individuals with a pacemaker, defibrillator, or any other electronic device inside the body should refrain from measuring their body composition via the Galaxy Watch4.
• Measure your body compensation at the same time of the day regularly, preferably in the morning to get consistent results.
• Measuring while on an empty stomach and after going to the bathroom is preferred.
• Measuring body composition while menstruating is not recommended.
• Do not perform any rigorous activities or workouts before measuring as it may alter the body temperature.
• Remove metal objects like chains, rings, etc. from your body before measuring.
• Keep your arms at chest level in a way that your armpits do not make contact with your body.
• Make sure that the two fingers used for the measurement do not come in contact with each other or with other parts of the watch.
• Try to remain as stable as possible.If your fingers are too dry, you can carry out the measurement by applying toner or lotion to make your skin moist.
• Wipe the sensor area on the rear of the watch before measuring to get accurate results.
The body composition measurement via the Galaxy Watch 4 is only for fitness purposes and to give you a general idea about where you stand. The sensors used are not medical-grade equipment and should not be used for the diagnosis or treatment of any medical condition.
