How does the glove tracker know your hip rotation vs shoulder rotation?

I put iPhone in right pocket with app active and zapp at back of right glove

If you want to know hip rotation, you need to put the phone in your back pocket. Works great for me.

Not really. I think it's more accurate but I also bought the wrist monitor because I can use it myself. My health aide uses the one on my arm

I tuck it in my sports bra and it is as accurate as when I use the belt clip that comes with it. Unlike the Fitbit that works with wrist action, the Omro works when my wrists are stationary inn the elliptical.

As far as I know, the unit logs only the GPS location with a certain interval based on user settings. The individual GPS points registered are used to plot a track, and by that, the movement of the user can be seen. Motion, other than the movement based on the track log can not be identified. The vibration sensor is a.f.a.I k. only used to wake the unit from "sleep mode" - a power saving feature, and is not related to any data collection.

It does not work that way! it measures the ball speed as it passes the monitor. So you chose 6 iron and hit 6 iron. It tracks all your shots against your 6 iron. It does not know the loft of your 6 iron.

Depending on your needs and circumstances, a larger cuff at the level of the brachial artery (upper arm) like the 7 arm model would tend to give a more accurate reading.Between the 3 and 7 wrist series, some minor differences. The 7 can connect to a PC, but no irregular HB indicator...One would think as the series numbers progress that there would be more features, as opposed to mixing them up.

Not really. It registers a certain number of hits, and then signals and turns off when the total number of hits is reached. But there's no way to tell how many hits you've sustained until then.

It is not a GPS so it will not track steps/distance if your arms are still. Makes sense as it would record your movement in a car, etc... If you walk on a treadmill it is fairly accurate provided you calibrate and then move your arms in stride when working out. If you hold the side rails or hold your arms still it will not record accurately but overall it is fairly representative of your workout and active time.

just bpm to my knowledge, in Run Keeper it shows a graph of bpm - so you can track target heart rate

There is a pin seeker mode on the range finder that would help with this. If your hands shake, it will give you multiple readings when it scans but you will easily be able to identity which one is the pin. You shouldn't have any trouble getting an accurate reading.

I don't know as I sent this back because it continually gave inaccurate readings. I bought OMRON which is very ACCURATE; both the arm and wrist give reliable readings.

it uses a small gyroscope in the band just like many of the fitness bands do. So it determines your distance by estimating your steps over time just like a pedometer. It is a fancy pedometer.

I use mine continuously while exercising! Just a glance at your finger and you have your readings!

Yes you can. It will measure as long as you move. No need to move arms to get it going. It is awesome when it works & very addictive. I had an issue with transmitter. Polar tech support team is not intuitive when it comes to problem solving. After many back & forth, I finally figured out why it wasn't functioning right. Each time they were apologetic but nonetheless annoying. At the end they sent me 2 straps& a transmitter.

I don't know. I returned the item per doctors order of not using wrist because of unreliable readings.

Most pedometer count steps by using an accelerometer that detects the impact of each step. Therefore, the count will not be accurate for non-impact exercises and some other activities. Out of curiousity, I used the Omron HJ-720 ITC while on the elliptical machine and noted a wide discrepancy between elliptical and pedometer step counts.

In my understanding the watch is sensing my hand moving and assuming that i am walking if my hand has a wavy or rhythmic motion. So I'd think it will sense your lifting weights also as walking. Also hence the calories credited will not be corrected. ButI think their customer support can answer this best.
