Today, mobile technologies have entered the life of almost every person and occupy a leading position in it, if we talk about the frequency of use of certain devices. The modern smartphone has long been no longer positioned as a toy, since its functionality has turned the device into a full-fledged work complex. The developers realized in time how they could make money, and therefore began to create various accessories (bracelets, watches) and gadgets that expand the functionality of already smart mobile phones. Below are detailed instructions for the Xiaomi Mi Band 2 with all the nuances of using the bracelet and the Mi Fit application, through which the device connects and synchronizes with a smartphone.

In fact, further instructions for the Xiaomi Mi Band are presented in Russian, but naturally it’s worth starting with the unpacking of the product itself. If you purchased an original bracelet and the appearance of the packaging, then you need to start working by charging the device in order to finally confirm its authenticity and prepare it for the first use.

The package must contain the following items:

• the Xiaomi Mi Band 2 bracelet itself, which is divided into a strap and a tracker inserted into it;
• USB charging cable.

Rules for using the charger and tracker

For Mi Band, setup is an important step, but you still need to learn how to charge the bracelet correctly. Having unpacked the brand new Band, you need to remove the tracker from the strap, and then insert it into the charger with the contacts inward (as deep as possible, but without effort). The charger must then be inserted into an available USB port on your computer (recommended) or a USB adapter for a standard outlet. Charging time for the bracelet does not exceed two hours.

The tracker's charge level is indicated by three LEDs that blink during charging and glow evenly when the device is fully charged. The standard time for the first charging cycle is about 2 hours. All subsequent charges will take much less time. The tracker needs to be fully charged; you should also avoid non-standard charging methods, since incorrect current supply will cause the device to burn out.

Installing Mi Fit and registering an account

The next step after unpacking the bracelet is to connect it to your smartphone, but this cannot be done without and.

More detailed instructions can be found in an already written article devoted to this issue, but in abbreviated form, the algorithm of actions for the owner of a Mi Band bracelet is quite simple:

1. The Mi Fit application is installed from the Play Market or App Store.
2. Registering a Mi account is carried out through a browser using a link or through the application itself.

After registration, the Mi Band 2 can be configured, but to do this you will have to make initial settings in the Mi Fit application, thanks to which the bracelet is tied to the smartphone and data is constantly synchronized.

Initial Mi Fit settings

Now you need to configure the application itself to work with it correctly:

1. Naturally, first authorization is performed using an existing or just registered login and password.

1. Then it is necessary for the user to enter his personal data into the application: name (nickname), gender, date of birth, height, weight, the minimum number of steps that are planned to be taken daily.

1. Immediately after entering the specified data, the bracelet binding menu will open, where you will need to select the device to be connected.

1. After successful synchronization, Mi Fit will offer to update the bracelet firmware to the latest version. During this process, you do not need to turn off your phone or remove your Mi Band from it. Immediately after the firmware is installed, the application interface will open, which you can start using.

Using Mi Fit and Mi Band

After connecting the Mi Band successfully, you can begin to study the application interface, which has become available to us. The home screen has three tabs: Activity, Notifications, and Profile.

Activity Tab

From the screen of this tab you can go to several functional sections: “Statistics”, “Sleep”, “Weight”, “Achievement Streak”, etc.

In the English version, this tab is called “Status”. From this section you can go to the statics of various actions by clicking on the circle with steps or other sections in the event strip.

"Statistics"

You can get to this section by clicking on the circle with the number of steps, which is located on the “Activity” tab.

Features of working with this section:

• Swiping left will open the statistics section for the past days;
• Clicking the Statistics button will open a general summary that can be sorted by day, week, and month.

"Dream"

By going to the “Sleep” section, the user can obtain the following information:

• Statistics of the sleep session for the previous night, indicating the duration of all phases and moments of awakening;
• Swiping to the right will allow you to view statistics for earlier sleep sessions;
• If you click the “Statistics” button in the “Sleep” section, you can group the data by days, weeks, months, etc.

"Weight"

When entering this section, the user observes the following functional elements:

• Graph of changes in weight indicators;
• Above the graph is a list of users, which can be adjusted directly from this section (just click on the desired name to go);
• A specific weight indicator is remembered by clicking on the special “Record weight” button;
• You can always monitor your body mass index, weight, dynamics, and also evaluate your physique.

"High Streak"

This section is a good incentive for Mi Band 2 owners, since it displays all the goals that were achieved while using the bracelet.

The main indicators are:

"Run"

When launching the “Running” section, the user must activate GPS navigation in advance so that the device finds active satellites. As soon as the optimal number of satellites is displayed in Mi Fit (lights up green), you can press start and go on a distance. While running, basic information about the runner’s condition will be displayed, and if you switch to the “Map” view, you can follow the trajectory of movement. You can stop reading information, for example, when moving to a step, by holding down the “Pause” button.

“Notifications” tab and how it works

On this tab, you can configure configurations for triggering notifications for main events, as well as configure the function of duplicating them on the bracelet.

The list of controlled notifications includes:

• Challenges. The bracelet will respond to each call after a certain period of time. Also, the enabled blocking function will prevent calls from unfamiliar numbers.
• Alarm. After setting up, the bracelet will wake up the owner even when the phone is dead or duplicate the signal of the phone itself, which may not be enough to wake the owner from sleep.
• Messages. It works in a similar way to a bell.
• Applications. Settings are carried out for each application installed on the phone, and notifications work on the principle of messages.

Screen Unlock feature

By entering this settings menu, the user can:

• Set up the screen unlocking process in such a way that you only have to swipe the phone with the bracelet and not make unnecessary movements on the screen or fingerprint sensor;
• Configure Mi Band visibility settings for other devices.

Profile Tab

The last tab, in fact, does not require explanation, because it is already clear that the profile contains all the information about the user of the bracelet and the configuration of this device.

Still, it’s worth saying that in this menu you can:

• View personal information entered at the stage of setting up and connecting the bracelet to the smartphone;
• Examine the list of devices connected to the smartphone and their configurations. In the case of the Mi Band, we are talking about the ability to search for the bracelet using the phone (makes it make sounds and blink), change the colors of the LEDs, determine where the device is attached, activate/block notifications;
• You can also view data about the bracelet’s firmware and unlink it from a specific phone;
• Even lower are the settings for the bracelet owner’s goals, notifications about collected statistics, and other settings and services.

Other bracelet features

The list of useful features of Mi Band does not end there.

It is worth highlighting the following possibilities:

• Visual control of achieved goals for the first version of the bracelet. Everything is quite simple: the three indicators that were described above, when the bracelet is in working condition (not charging), are used to measure the level of achievement of goals. To activate this function, you need to make a certain gesture: raise your hand and turn the bracelet towards you, as if you were looking at a watch.

• Search for a bracelet. This function has already been discussed above, but it is still worth giving specific instructions on how to use it. After following the path “Profile – Devices – Mi Band”, click the corresponding search button.
• Service "Friends". Your friends and family members who own similar bracelets can become members of the same Mi Band network. Everyone will be able to follow each other’s achievements, as well as send welcome notifications to someone else’s bracelet.

Operational features of the bracelet

What is worth knowing about features that are not included in the description, but play an important role:

1. The device is “waterproof,” but that doesn’t mean you can swim in it. The bracelet can be left on in the shower, in the rain or when washing dishes. The device will most likely survive a short-term immersion to a depth of 1 meter, but it is better not to take risks. Be especially wary of salt water at resorts.
2. Automatically restore contact with your smartphone. In rare cases, desync may occur due to interference from other devices using Bluetooth wireless technology. When disconnected, the tracker independently continues to try to restore the connection until the next synchronization.
3. Long operating life without recharging. The average Mi Band 2 user can go without recharging the bracelet for about a month. This time is reduced if the device is constantly synchronized with a smartphone.
4. Convenient fastening of the case to the strap. There is only a slight risk that the tracker will be squeezed out of the compartment that secures it on the elastic and elastic strap. However, this situation is only possible if there is excessive mechanical pressure on the device.
5. The real usefulness of the bracelet for the body. Naturally, the device will not remind the owner how much to walk/run, sleep, eat, etc. This is only an auxiliary tool that simplifies the process of achieving optimal conditions of body and spirit.
6. It is worth mentioning the translation curve, as a result of which you can see the “temperature” parameter; in fact, this is how the calories burned were translated.

Alternative bracelet models

As an alternative version for the reviewed Mi Band 2, we have also written a user manual for Mi Band 1s indicating the main differences of this device.

What you need to know about this bracelet:

1. It still connects to your phone via Bluetooth wireless technology.
2. When you use it for the first time, it asks you to charge it, and then it requires this procedure after about a month of use.
3. For proper operation, you will need to enter your data into Mi Fit, and then, using the detailed guide presented above, connect and configure.

There are not so many differences with the newer (second) version. When considering the Mi Band 1s Pulse, the instructions for it make it clear that this model with the Pulse prefix is ​​aimed specifically at measuring the owner’s heart rate.

Naturally, Mi Band 2 can also do this, but in this modification the pulse is analyzed from different angles:

• measurements are made using a photoplethysmogram;
• data is displayed on the display within 15 seconds;
• The bracelet operates in active (with manual activation) and passive (everyday) mode (2 times per minute).

The disadvantage is that the Xiaomi Mi Band 1s Pulse fitness bracelet will not measure heart rate when the charge drops below 10%.

Bottom line

From all of the above, it is only important to understand that to achieve optimal physical condition and a high level of health, it is not enough to buy a bracelet, enter your parameters and set it up correctly. Regular sports, walks and a consistently active lifestyle are what remains for the owner of the bracelet.

Fitness bracelet MiBand 2– this is the second generation of sports gadgets from the Chinese manufacturer, which, logically, should have eliminated the shortcomings of its predecessor. What actually happened?

· Monitor activity.

The gadget quite accurately recognizes the user’s motor activity and takes appropriate measurements.

· Measure pulse.

There are several ways to activate the heart rate monitor:

1. Raise the bracelet above your wrist for a snug fit to your hand. Press the capsule button several times (at standard settings 5 ​​times) until the heart icon appears. Try not to move. Wait for the vibration and look at the result.

2.Go to the application Mi Fit, open the “Pulse” section, click on the “Measurement” button - “OK”. Wait a few seconds until the result is displayed on the smartphone display.

This function will be useful both for athletes for taking measurements during training, and for ordinary people monitoring their health. Also, using a heart rate monitor, the gadget determines the phases of sleep.

The pedometer will determine how many steps you took during the day, and the application will show a detailed graph of daily activity and compare it with previous days. You can also set a daily goal, such as walking 8,000 steps.

· Determine the distance traveled.

The device converts the number of steps into kilometers and displays the value on its screen and in the application.

· Count calories.

The number of calories burned is also displayed on the screen. With this feature you will know how much you need to move to neutralize the effects of freshly eaten ice cream. Comfortable!

· Carry out sleep monitoring.

The fitness bracelet determines the moments of falling asleep and waking up, and tracks the phases of sleep. If you enable a heart rate monitor to track sleep in the application settings, the data will be even more accurate, but the battery life will drop significantly - the capsule will discharge a little faster.

· Notify about calls.

With the bracelet, you will not miss a single call - vibration and a corresponding image on the screen will notify you that a smartphone is “exploding” at the bottom of the bag.

· Remind you to move when inactive for a long time.

This feature will be especially useful for office workers, gamers and all those who lead a sedentary lifestyle. Just click the appropriate toggle switch in the application, and the fitness bracelet will vibrate to invite you to walk and warm up after a long period of inactivity.

I found this “trick” very useful. The caring gadget unobtrusively drew attention to itself while I was engrossed in work and offered to take a mini-break. Within five minutes I was back on track with my work, but with new strength and fresh thoughts.

· Motivate for sporting achievements.

This stylish accessory will certainly help those who lack the “magic kick” for sports. The bracelet will sometimes scold you for low activity, somewhere it will praise you for a new achievement, and somewhere it will tactfully remain silent - as if a miniature sports trainer lives inside the capsule.

He has enough skills and abilities, and among the numerous “pluses” we can safely add price. Yes, XiaomiMiBand 2 You can buy it in Minsk for not much more than what the Chinese offer to do on the world famous trading platform.

Operating system compatibility, application overview

According to official data, Xiaomi Mi Band 2 works with Android generation 4.4 and above and iOS 7.0 and above.

I decided to check whether the fitness bracelet works with other versions of the OS.

So ,Xiaomi MI Band 2AndWindows

My old lady Lumia 822, working on WindowsPhone 8.1, I easily found the bracelet using Bluetooth. There was no official MI Fit application in the “Store”, but there was BindMiBand– a shareware application with good functionality. The sleep tracking section, for example, is only available with an annual or lifetime subscription, which costs $1.49 or $2.99 ​​respectively.

The program works correctly, the interface is pleasant, and the capabilities are similar to Mi Fit.

Xiaomi Mi Band 2 and dual OS tablet

The tablet, running on two OS - Android 4.4 and Windows, also accepted the bracelet as its own. But there were also nuances.

For example, the official Mi Fit application from the Play Market stubbornly refused to be installed on the tablet, citing the fact that it was not supported on this device. I had to download the program from a well-known site with “four” in the name and install it manually. Mi Fit is working.

The official application is made to last - the only pity is that there is no smart alarm clock. Weight recording, heart rate tracking, tons of settings, synchronization with Google Fit and noteworthy “behavior tags”. The app remembers the user's behavior during certain activities, such as running, riding a bus, taking a bath, and subsequently adjusts the number of steps and calories burned.

The Play Market also offered several applications upon request " xiaomimiband 2", a couple of which bypassed Mi Fit in terms of stars.

For example, the program Notify & Fitness for Mi Band.

Beautiful interface, all statistical data is presented in various graphs and diagrams. The functions indicate “Smart alarm clock”. He always woke me up at the specified time - either at that moment I was in the right phase of sleep, or the alarm clock was not so “smart”.

The button can be customized - for example, a single press will mean turning on a music track, a double press will mean switching to the next song, etc.

It’s a pity that the application does not have the ability to “calibrate” the obtained values, as Mi Fit can do.

Xiaomi Mi Band 2 and Xiaomi Mi2s

Two gadgets from Xiaomi “sang together” without problems. It took a long time for a new smartphone with artificially installed Android 5.0 (instead of the standard Android 4.1 for this model) to establish a connection with the fitness bracelet, for a long time to open Mi Fit, and for a long time to synchronize. But then there was nothing to complain about - the connection was constant, the data display was correct, synchronization was fast.

Connecting Xiaomi MI band 2 to a smartphone

Despite the apparent complexity, connecting a fitness bracelet to a smartphone is simple. Detailed instructions on points:

· Turn on Bluetooth on your smartphone (tablet).

· Find the device “Mi band 2” and connect to it.

· Open Mi Fit or any other application for a sports tracker (pre-download it from the Play Market/Store/App Store).

· Click on the “Device is not connected” button (using Mi Fit as an example, other applications have a similar button).

· Select “Bracelet”.

· Select the highlighted inscription with a bracelet.

· Wait for vibration from the bracelet and press the button on the capsule screen. That's all.

Correctness of measurements and personal impressions

Pedometer. In general, the number of steps taken is determined plausibly. But special cases are confusing:

· After a night's sleep, the tracker occasionally showed me not zero statistics, but 10-15 steps. Either I sleepwalk at night, or the pedometer mistakes possible movements in my sleep for walking.

· Short walks around the apartment are not always taken into account in statistics. For example, going to the kitchen for a cup of tea and returning to the computer is sometimes not taken seriously by the pedometer.

Heart rate monitor. Unfortunately, I have nothing to compare the results produced by the tracker with. But the values ​​seem quite realistic. During/immediately after physical activity, my heart rate jumps to a hundred or more, and under calm conditions my heart rate is in the range of 60-75.

For me, the heart rate monitor is a secondary function, and it is needed more for “pampering” and for more accurately determining the phases of sleep. Well, in order to make sure that there is no reason to see a doctor.

Sleep tracking. Many, many bad words were addressed to Xiaomi for the fact that the fitness bracelet cannot recognize daytime sleep. I didn’t experiment with daytime sleep, so I have nothing to say about this. I'll tell you about the standard night one.

The tracker determines the time of falling asleep very correctly, but sometimes a quiet “lying down” without movement is already mistaken for a state of sleep. “Mi Fit,” by the way, supports adjusting the time of falling asleep/waking up, which, logically, should teach the gadget to detect falling asleep correctly.

Awakening Mi Band He might just oversleep. One day, he recorded an awakening only after I, while lying in bed, decided to access my sleep statistics from my smartphone. Perhaps the device is “tailored” for those people who, when they wake up, immediately get out of bed and run to do their morning procedures. And for those who like to soak up in a warm bed, the tracker mercilessly attributes all the time of “wallowing as a seal” to general sleep.

In the application settings, you can allow the heart rate monitor to periodically measure your pulse while you sleep, which improves the reality of the data and eats up the battery with appetite, both of the fitness bracelet (3-4% per night) and of the smartphone (20% due to active Bluetooth connections).

With the heart rate monitor, the indicators really became more believable. The tracker noticed the awakening on time, the time of falling asleep also seems to be true.

There is also a division of sleep into phases - fast and deep.

Gesture Definition. To see the current time, it is not necessary to press a button on the screen. You can only raise your hand and look at the tracker - after a moment the clock will be displayed there. A sharp turn of the wrist is equal to pressing the button again, which means the number of steps taken will appear on the screen. All gestures are configured in the application.

In the vast majority of cases, the device recognizes gestures correctly.

Autonomy. The capsule is economical in terms of charge – 70 mA⋅ h The lithium-ion battery lasts more than two weeks. The bracelet charges from zero to 100% in about 2 hours.

What is unusual is that the tracker comes from the factory completely discharged.

Verdict

Despite the shortcomings in the correctness of the statistics and the lack of a smart alarm clock in the official application, this is a truly cool option for wearable electronics.

This little thing has a hidden talent to encourage activity, inspire athletic achievements and maintain interest in all kinds of burning accumulated calories. During the week of testing, I seemed to “grow together” with Mi Bandom, fell in love with him and now I can’t imagine life without this bracelet on my hand. Even to me, a person far from sports, this gadget seemed incredibly useful and convenient.

A caring reminder of prolonged inactivity, soft vibration of the alarm clock instead of terrible melodies, the inability to miss calls and messages on the smartphone, since they are duplicated by vibration on the tracker, a convenient watch, sleep tracking, and simply a stylish look of the accessory - and these are just the “non-sports” advantages!

And if you add to this list a built-in pedometer and heart rate monitor, counting calories burned and distance traveled, comparing values ​​with the previous day/week/month - do you see at least one reason not to buy Xiaomi Mi Band 2? Me not!

Description

smart bracelet, compatible with Windows/Android/iOS, OLED touch screen, 2", activity monitoring, sleep monitoring, heart rate monitor, social media notifications, weight 75 g

Xiaomi Mi Band 2 is created for those who monitor their health and calories

The Xiaomi Mi Band 2 fitness device is a removable capsule made of polycarbonate and plastic, which is attached to a silicone, metal or leather bracelet. The gadget is equipped with a monochrome display measuring 0.42 inches diagonally, a built-in lithium-polymer battery with a capacity of 70 mAh, Bluetooth 4.0, sensors - an accelerometer and a heart rate monitor.

The module is compatible with mobile devices based on Android and iOS operating systems. Its dimensions are 40.3 x 15.7 x 10.5 mm and its weight is 7 g. It is controlled using a touch button located at the bottom of the 4-inch screen. Xiaomi Mi Band 2 operates without failures at temperatures from -20 degrees to +70 degrees Celsius. The device body is protected from dust and moisture, and can withstand short-term immersion to a depth of one meter.

Features of Xiaomi Mi Band 2

In addition to displaying the time and date, the smart bracelet is capable of:

• track the number of steps and distance traveled;
• show calories burned;
• measure pulse;
• notify about phone calls and SMS messages;
• monitor the quality of sleep;
• display information about battery charge.

The device has the function of an alarm clock and unlocking a smartphone or tablet. To output data to a computer or phone, a special application is used, a link to which is in the instructions or on the official website of the developer company.

Autonomy and charging the gadget

The battery life declared by the manufacturers is 20 days. The battery charges on average in 1.5-2 hours - this happens through the USB port of a computer or adapter. Three indicators on the case indicate that the battery's power is restored; they light up when charging is complete.

This guide will help you understand the functions of Xiaomi Mi Band 2: how to use its capabilities and configure them through the Mi Fit program.

This fitness bracelet was originally released for those who are keen on sports or just starting to get involved in fitness. However, over time, those who simply want to track their daily activity data, the number of calories burned per day and the quality of sleep began to buy it. For example, I use it mainly for this. Unlike Xiaomi Mi Band 1s, this model has a small display with which the user sees data and can also control gestures.

First acquaintance with Mi Band

To start using the tracker, you need to assemble it. This is done simply: insert the bracelet capsule from the inside into the silicone strap included in the kit, with the display facing up. Next, turn on Mi Bend by pressing the only button near the display. We have already mentioned that this version of the bracelet has gesture control - you just need to raise your hand with the bracelet, as if you were looking at the time on a watch, to view the data.

To configure this function, in the Mi Fit application, go to "Profile", tap on the tracker name and activate the sliders next to the inscriptions "View information" And "Tap Efficiency". By the way, before using it for the first time, we recommend that you charge the Xiaomi Mi Band 2. You cannot turn off the fitness bracelet manually, you can only wait until it is completely discharged, but we do not recommend doing this to avoid deterioration of the battery.

Programs for work

To always have access to step statistics and other information that the fitness bracelet collects, you need to download the Mi Fit program (if you have an Android phone or iPhone) or the Bind Mi Band program (if you have a Windows Phone). Your smartphone must also have a working bluetooth module to connect the phone with the tracker and collect high-quality statistics.

For our guide, we used the Mi Fit program:

1. Download the official application to your smartphone from Google Play or App Store and launch it. We allow the program access to personal data.
2. Click on "Entrance" and enter the username and password for your Mi account. If this is your first time using a Xiaomi device, you need to create an account.

Personally, I have been using this program for quite a long time and consider it the best of all those offered in the Play Market.

Mi-account registration

Registering an account is very simple, and now we will tell you how to do it.

1. Press the button "Create an account".
2. Enter your personal data (email address, country, date of birth) and click on Create account.
3. We come up with a password and enter it in the appropriate field, then enter the captcha and click on Submit.
4. Log in to your email and confirm your registration by clicking on the link in the email.

Ready! Now you can open the Mi Fit app again and log into your account using the email address and password you created earlier. After that, we indicate the remaining data in the profile, such as gender, weight, height, nickname, and so on. You can also set a daily goal based on your daily activity, such as the number of steps you want to take per day.

Synchronization with phone

After the profile is filled out, the program will prompt you to turn on Bluetooth on your phone and connect to the bracelet. Having turned on Bluetooth, go to the profile interface and click on the button "Add device"- Band. Next, the application will automatically search for the tracker and notify you of the find by vibration. Follow the instructions on the display - press the button and wait a couple of seconds until the connection is established.

Program interface

Once the connection is complete, the user can configure the tracker functionality at his own discretion. Let's take a closer look at the most important items on the menu. At the bottom of the main page you can see the following tabs: "Statistics", "Profile" And "Activity". Let's start with the first tab, which was already open.

1. Statistics. Here the program displays complete information about your activity for the selected period of time. At the top you will see a circle. In its center is written the number of steps taken per day, as well as calories burned and distance traveled. Click on the circle and see more detailed statistics for the last month. In addition, in the statistics tab, you can view data about the owner’s sleep over the last 24 hours, indicating the duration of each phase and even the moments of awakening. You can also measure your pulse and view the data of its latest measurements, track your weight and analyze it, and also view activity data for the last week.
2. Activity. Here, the owner of the bracelet can include and analyze all the data on personal physical activity, such as cycling, walking, running, etc. At the top right there is a button for settings, such as turning on the voice assistant, always-on display, setting the pace, warning about too much high heart rate and much more.
3. Profile. In this section, you configure the tracker and its functions: unlocking the smartphone using a bracelet, call notifications, SMS messages and messages from applications, alarm settings, reminders to get up and move. Here you can also enable the search for a lost bracelet, configure visibility settings for other devices, specify the location of the tracker, make settings for the data displayed on the display, and the date and time format. In addition, the second version of Mi Band has a function for measuring heart rate at night every 10 minutes so that information about the quality of sleep is more complete and accurate. However, you need to remember that this will drain the battery much faster.

Other functions

1. in case of loss, sale or other reasons.
2. Setting goals for greater motivation to exercise.
3. Synchronizing account data with Google Fit.
4. Activity tags: a function to view types and history of personal physical activity.
5. Changing data units.
6. Enable/disable messages in the notification center of your smartphone.
7. Checking for program or tracker firmware updates.
8. Information about the program and feedback from developers.
9. You can use third-party apps to enable the smart alarm function.

Pulse measurement process

Unfortunately, the Mi Band fitness bracelet is in automatic mode even during sports. In order to do this, in the tab "Statistics" you need to click on the corresponding item, then raise your hand horizontally to the level of your stomach and try not to move to collect the most accurate statistics. You can also view your heart rate data by simply calling the function you need using the touch key on the bracelet, but remember that in this case the data will not be recorded in the program.
