Will this give me elevation, speed, and heart rate when cycling?

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)

not sure. although it merrily tracked me doing over 40mph last week on my road bike :-)

The short answer is - YES. The long answer, you can actually configure it to show many things while you are doing your physical activities, for example your average heart rate, how long you've been performing the activity etc. You should check out the videos in YouTube that shows you how to use it, very helpful in teaching you learn how to use this heart rate monitor.

Just went down to check my bike to refresh my memory. There is 1 sensor unit you install on your bike. It houses 2 sensors inside (1 for the magnet you put on your pedal for cadence, and 1 for the magnet you put on your back tire for speed). Then of course there is the heart rate band you put around your chest.Please let me know if you have any further questions.Thanks!

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 use it when i ride my bike. but like Sean Palmeter answered, it will not track your info right it helps but not accurate. i would reccomend going on polarusa.com and look at the products for cycling. i hope i helped you.

Yes, you can manually enter your bicycling activity. It will ask you the activity, effort level, start time and duration. There are many exercise activities list on the app.

Yes. You are able to see real-time data on heart rate and cadence. You just have to set your display in the settings so that those fields are shown.

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.

Hi Poly, I am still getting it up and running but pretty certain that it in itself only measures HR. But why it does that is handy for us who love using our smart phones for strava etc is it will translate all the ANT+ from my garmin tools (Cadence/speed sensor, Power Metre, foot pod) into a bluetooth 4.0 signal for your smart phone to read. Some of these are more or less effective on different Apps, Viii own app will receive and show all this information but for instance Strava won't show reading from the power meter. As i said its still new to me but overall Im happy with it. I looked at DCRainmakers review of the product before buying it and he goes very in depth if you want more info. Cheers

The device comes with a heart rate monitor included and it does give the max and average heart rates. The device actually gives quite a deal of information. Runners world, when they did a review of the previous model of this watch called it "The Data Miner." I mostly use it with a footpod so it gives pace, speed and distance etc.

Yes, it should work on a bike and tells you your pace, i.e. 4 minute miles, 5 minute miles, etc. Should be easy math!

Yes. Any ANT+ combined Speed/cadence sensor should work. This is a good choice. The wahoo (with cable between speed and cadence sensor) might be a better option if your rear wheel does not overlap with pedal arm (f.ex. fullsuspension bike)

Yes it works just fine for biking using the foot pod. Of course you still need the strap for your heart rate. For overall watch for both running and biking I did fine the font was small and can be hard to read so it takes getting use too. I like to us my phone also and use like Mapmyrun or mapmyride app to compare distance via GPS.

I put a speed sensor on the back wheel last winter for time on the trainer. It worked well! I have not tried it on the road so I can not speak to that. The heart monitor would read 0 on occasion if I sat up straight for too long.

With latest firmware there is now a Cycling Mode and it works with speed/cadence sensors.

Most of my workouts are on stationary or road bikes and in the gym. Without the heart rate monitor, these workouts don't really count. It's best to get the monitor, unless you are moving a lot on non-stationary objects.
