does this track heart rate?

UP uses a precision motion sensor to track your movement intensity and exertion level throughout the day, that does not read or rely on heart rate. You can also enter your effort level for specific workouts you log in the app.

No. I really really wish it would though. I rank the really fancy expensive Fitbit does.

Yes it does, with day, date and last two digits of the year. I use it to measure heart beat at gym. I don't use the pedometer to measure how many miles I have run.

Also, read the other answers: this device DOES NOT offer continuous heart rate monitoring. I think the description is a little misleading about that. For me a deal breaker.

It's a bit of a hack, see http://www.johannesbader.ch/2014/06/track-your-heartrate-on-raspberry-pi-with-ant/. Otherwise, best to contact Suunto customer support via their website - http://www.suunto.com. Good luck.

Yes, it continuously records your time, distance, pace, calories burned and heart rate. It calculates elevation as distance above/below sea level (as per the User's Guide)

It does. Recently it is experiencing some problems reading heart rate with heavy sweat but the tech support team got it sorted for me.

No. It calculates the estimate by skin temperature, movement, and some other things through the sensor. I use both armband and a polar hrm and they are pretty much the same for my activity. Sometimes the hrm will be moreand ssometimes it's less.

I use this heart monitor but not with the app suggested. It will work with multiple apps so I'm sure there is probably one that will alert you to a specific heart rate. I use mapmyfitness.

Yes, it does read systolic, diastolic, pulse, and your pressure rating. It detects irregular heartbeat, too.

No. It just logs the data and you can see it in graph form after you upload it. You need a HRM watch to see your heart rate as you exercise. Here's a link to a wide range of HRM's... http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_24?url=search-alias%3Dsporting&field-keywords;=omron%20heart%20rate%20monitor. You can get a good one for $35 (Omron). If you want GPS or more workout information then you pay more for a Garmin or Polar (or similar) unit.

I don't think so. I have a Garmin watch that tracks miles when I run. I bought this as a heart rate monitor. It works pretty good but you do have to hold your finger over the face of the watch for approx 5 seconds.

I don't believe it's meant to be used for tracking a whole day's calories, only because you tell it when to start and then you have to hold the button down for it to take your heart rate and update. I stopped using it not long after I bought it. The batteries don't last long, which means it doesn't track correctly at times and loses the info.

Yes. The chest strap monitors your heart rate and that is how it calculates calories.

It does have a pulse rate monitor, but you have access the back of the device - it has to be take out of the wrist band or clip holder to perform the function.

It does show low and high heart rate. I think it does alarm when you exceed I have it turned off

It will monitor resting heart rate.So long as the chest strap is properly positioned it will monitor your heart rate.
