CardioWatch position
The CardioWatch should be placed about 1 inch above the bone of your wrist, as illustrated below.
CardioWatch orientation
First, look for the side of your CardioWatch which has either a pusher (287-1B) or LEDs (287-2B) as shown below.
Now, think of your CardioWatch as a regular watch, where the crown has been replaced with a pusher or LEDs. Then, you naturally wears it like this.
Left hand
Pusher or LEDs side towards the hand
Right hand
Pusher or LEDs side towards the shoulder
Strap tightness
Adjust the strap of your CardioWatch so that it is snug but not too tight.
This ensures that the bracelet does not move around as much when you are using your hands, but is still comfortable to wear.
The sensing side of the pod should be placed in direct contact with the skin, on the top side of the wrist. The light coming from the sensor should not be visible between your skin and the CardioWatch.
Skin type and hair density
Please set up your skin type and hair density properly in user profile section of the Corsano app. Those parameters are important to improve the accuracy of the output metrics.
