Does this have realtime SP02 monitoring? (Or do you have to take it off your wrist and fuss with it?)

You need to take it off. There's a heart/moon screen. Take the device out of it's holder, press the button until you get to the heart/moon screen and then press on the heart. Then it'll show a message for you to place your finger over the sensor on the back of the device. Wait a few seconds and then it displays.With the app on the iPhone, there's a way to do it with the iPhone camera--I prefer using the device.

Take it off and put your finger over an light on the side opposite of the display.

It is supposed to have heartbeat and 02 but I could not get either to work on two separated units. One or both of those were not real-time, I *think* both were not real time. There were *supposed* to be images on the display that you pressed but I could not get the display to work and all the original and replacement unit ever did for me was count steps.

No it does not have real time O2 monitoring. You have to take it off the wrist band and place it on your finger and press the button to start it. Now if your running and want to take a reading then you have to stop running slide it or of the holder then place it on your finger then press go for it to give you the reading for both pulse rate and O2 rate. Which is why I don't recommend the product and mine now sits in the back of the cupboard with the rest of the junk I have bought over the years.

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.

Check your control panel to see if it's still recognized. I've noticed that it always needs to be reawakened by pressing the trigger before anything else will work, but I'm sure you've tried that. The best way to know if it's alive is by seeing if it will work with any other computers. Of course, it also has a rechargeable battery.

Yes. It monitors both movement and breathing and if it doesn't detect anything it will alert you. Thankfully the only time that has happened is when I forgot to turn it off after a nap, but I was glad to know it worked.

No, I don't think so. I'll look at it next time I'm in the office. I'm pretty sure it has no timer-based auto-on or auto-off feature.

Not at all! It feels like a regular watch with no irritation or any other issues. I really like it.

There are two sensors inside to the left and right (little round black things), slap some black polish on it. You can now manually control the time. Your Welcome :) Make sure it's unplugged when you do this.

No, not completely. At least not that I'm aware of. When it's been idle for a little while, it goes into a standby mode where it displays BC 5.12 (the model number) and the current time.

You can't. I've had three (returned 2 due to this issue) and I ended up manually taking into account SpO2 readings are 1-4% low after talking to an otherwise very helpful tech rep. Manual says +/-2%, but all 3 were off 50% of the time with more than 2% on the low side, but never the high side. Pulse readings on all three were OK, though. Btw, in spite this shortcoming, I do like the product as I can use its alarm feature to wake me up when my heart rate or O2 drops too low.

I can use it for watching heart rate & O2 sat, I have not used it for more than a couple of mins., but I do shut it off and do not wait for it to 'log off' . It can be moved from one hand to the other w/o shutting it down...Hope that helps ?

Yes it does, but in my case it just was not accurate for me. Maybe my wrist are too thin or something? I have a second one but it's not strapless, however my strapped monitor is very accurate.Hope that helps.

Don't use it for monitoring. I wouldn't use it for that. Baby monitor would be better

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

Nope and the watches GPS connection is very quick I've never had any problems with it.

If you keep it on your finger it provide constant monitoring. Don't need to push button.

thanks Draven...but do you know if i can also hook up extra motion/trip sensors ? ...and does the cpu use pixel changes in camera images to detect motion that act like a trip sensor/alarm ?

It has a normal watch function as well. However if you do not to intend to use this as your daily wrist watch (like I do -- I only use it for trainings), you will have to re-set the time again every time your turn it on after a while of being turned off. Not really a big deal but I can do without the frequent setting of time for sure. Usually I'll just ignore setting the time since I'll turn it off immediately after training anyway.

I, don't but must also say I am no longer using the Owl. The one I had was only good for monitoring current usage. Their SW is very bad and actually useless. I am now using a efergy meter that has some history easily accessible on the monitor itself. It does not have the PC interface. If you want something useful although not with a readout look at Flusko.
