Is the watch able to sync with a garmin heart monitor and display real time heart rates?

Negative. The watch already has a heart rate monitor. You can display real time info when using the exercise function.

If you look on the back case of your watch you should see to the left of the "ANT+" symbol M229. From the description..."is compatible with such heart rate watches as the Timex M229, M536, M560, M843, M844, and M878". I have the same watch and it linked up fine. Put the strap on before you synch with your watch.Good luck.

Yes, it does, but the watch broke after a year so I WOULD NOT buy it. Garmin products are highly sensitive and very unreliable, and their customer service has not been impressive thus far.

I went to HeartRateMonitor.com and purchased one from their listing of compatible monitors. I purchased a Gramin HRM2-SS. It works very well.

Hello Denise, Sorry for the delay in response to your question. I bought the heart rate monitor for my husband to wear when he works out by himself. We do not own a fitness pal so I am not sure if it will sync correctly and efficiently for you. Sorry I could not have been better help!

No, this watch serves as a display and control unit for fitness apps. It is very light and comfortable. I use it for running mainly, but also working out and biking.

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.

It can display heart rate*, which is information used in fitness testing. But, it wasn't designed for fitness testing. I suggest you contact a fitness testing specialist for more information. *Display of heart rate requires the optional heart rate monitor chest strap.Garmin has a disclaimer on their website: http://www.garmin.com/en-US/legal/atdisclaimer

This product does not show your heart rate. There is an option for it if you sync it with a Garmin though. I don't have a Garmin, therefore I only use my Polar watch and band.

Personally I have only used the fitness watches however they do provide detailed progress such as a graph indicating heart rate levels and maps in both topographic and satellite imagery. With Garmin's high standards of quality products I believe you would be able to see detailed satellite information with visible progressions.

Yes. It will display the heart rate. No straps. It uses optical sensor on the backside of watch which is flush with your wrist. They claim the accuracy is 1%. If you do not want to connect via bluetooth to an app, you don't have to.

Yes, you most definitely can as long as you have the heart rate monitor synced to your watch. Unfortunately this watch doesn't come with a built-in HR monitor. But it can be purchased separately.

According to the product's manual, it's possible! But remember according to the amazon website "When paired with the HRM-Run monitor1, the Forerunner 620 provides feedback on running form by measuring cadence, vertical oscillation and ground contact time". You could use another belt (garmin's), but probably losing this informations. There is one more issue the price of the total equipment is $449 and without the HRM $399. After that, to buy only the HRM Run it will cost you $100.

Yes, it can do both. They are actually back-to-back options as you toggle through the possible views during a run. I would offer that I've used Garmins in the past and the their pace seems more accurate, and quicker to adjust, while on the run itself - an important quality if pace is your go-to metric while on the run. It will all even out once you upload the run to your running site of choice but that's of little consolation while running. Don't get me wrong - this is a small complaint and I like the watch so far.

I don't think so. Whenever I use the pulse monitor to check my heart rate it gives me a ridiculous number like 93 in the middle of a cardio workout. When I use the exercise function it gives you a calorie burn number that sounds reasonable but there is no way to know if it is accurate because it is based on settings in the watch that are supposed to be described in a manual that I never received. I think it was a waste of money
