Is there a way to monitor heart rates, or transfer data, to the computer?

No, it stores min, max, average heart rate and calories burned (and percentage of fat) but there's no way to transfer that to a computer. Still a great heart rate monitor.

This one does not transfer to a computer. But it does display a summary at the end with average hr, total time, time in target zone. So, you can easily transfer it by hand if need be.

You will need to attach the Polar device on your chest for monitoring your heart rate. It can only store one memory and will overwrite once you start the next exercise. No GPS, no able to transfer the date to your computer. Hope it helps.

I love this watch, use it everyday at the gym. Unfortunately it does not upload to the computer. I created a spreadsheet to track my data. But for the price it is the best that I have found.

No, this monitor is not designed for it.Themonitor is pretty basic, so if you need to transfer data, youll need another model. If you need a basic one, I would suggest the FT4 which has bigger digits. RS100 visibility is poor in darkness.

Hey buddy! I'm affraid not. The RS100 model just communicate with the gym gear.

what kind of output does the software give? i need put the cuff on and record heart rate and blood pressure over a 10 minute period, will this software let me do that? or does it shut off after some pre-ordained time period?

Sorry, silly question. It's not a heart rate monitor.Just an activity tracker.http://forum.polar.fi/showthread.php?s=5080dad3b7bc0e2387ee6e1e9bc60fd6&t;=1634

Yes. If you have already been using the computer without the heart rate monitor, you have to reset the computer to read the monitor. It will not read it automatically.

There is no truly accurate formula that doesn't rely on monitoring your heart rate.Most monitors include a method for determining your target heart rate and max heart rate.Your age, fitness level, and resting heart rate are usually factors in most calculations.You can google up a variety of them. However, if you know where your heart rate is when you work out, you will soon get an idea for how hard you're really pushing yourself. Everyone has a different peak, valley, and sweet spot. Just use Google and find a calculator for Target Heart Rate.

I have been using the BLE Heart Rate Monitor app, which is free and works great. The developer tries to charge for certain features (charting, exporting to CSV, etc.), but if you just need it to monitor your current heart rate during a workout, you don't need to spend a dime.

The computer dose have the ability to monitor while running, but that is the extent of my experience

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that question. I can tell you that this watch doesn't come with a heart rate monitor. I bought 2 of them. I'm not sure where Amazon got that picture from showing the watch with a monitor cord.

Hello, No. You would have to get an external HR monitor if you got the CS1. The CS2 has a built-in heart rate monitor. Plus it can read a wireless strap as well. HR strap not included, but it can read if you have. Thanks

I have not tried to do this although I don't see why you couldn't. It is not meant as a continuous monitor as you would find on a treadmill, though.

I think you would have to keep track of the time when you did each activity. The graph only shows time, heartbeat, and oxygen level.

I have the cateye stealth 50 and this heart rate monitor. It works for me without problems--it paired with the device, and reports my heart rate on the computer while riding.

No, it does not require a heart monitor. It tracks your calories by how much it estimates based on your movements. I think it is pretty good at sensing movements. Again, I have no problems with it other that you care barely read the screen. I wish the background was dark and the numbers were light.

Yes, if buy the heart monitor strap. It tells you if its too low or in range. If you sign up for Garmin connect it will create a graph for each workout so you can compare as well. I had to use all of this for a class.

While I've never done the internet thing while exercising, I believe that it can be done, as I frequently read magazines and adjust my mp3 player. However, whenever you want to check your heart rate using the bike's electronics, you must have both hands on the grips - it takes about 45 seconds from the time you grip the sensors until you get a stable reading.

Yes, the chest strap is the only way to detect your heart rate. It works well with this watch. The first time I used it while on one of the treadmills at our fitness center, I noticed that the chest strap also automatically syncs wirelessly with the treadmill, which shows your heart rate on its display screen. Hope this is helpful!

Not that I know of but the heart rate will link with certain gym equipment. You can enter the data in a fitness app though.
