does it track biking?

No. Accelerometer senses motion but appears calibrated for running and walking. When I row it says I run 5 miles in slightly over the 15 min span (ie. I run a three min mile!). Look out Mr. Bolt!!

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.

Swimming will track, tennis some, but cycling no. I even tried attaching it to my shoe, no luck.

The sensors aren't paired to the computer or the bike. You have to chose "Bike2" on the computer. When you do this it uses a different wheel diameter for distance and speed. I'm not sure if it will even track a different odometer for each bike. I don't think it will.

Not sure completely, but I'd say NO since it does use cell-phone to communicate its location to tracker (and probably even uses cell to get position, rather than direct GPS).

No, it does not track steps or miles, just heart rate. But it keeps track of your calories burned, hours spent in activity and how long you are in your target heart rate zone.

It does, however it may give you a different reading that the treadmill. I'd rather stick to the sensor reading and don't callibrate, that way i can compare between treadmill and street runnings.

This watch has no cycling mode, so while you can theoretically bike with it, there's a lot of draw-backs. For example, if you set the pace alerts for a pace appropriate to cycling, then those same alerts will likely be useless while you are running. You have to manually change those alert ranges for running. Similarly, if you go for a ride, the watch will starting telling you that you've set all sorts of personal records (2-minute fast mile!, longest run ever!, etc). I biked with this watch only a few times before deciding I wanted a dedicated bike computer.

I've had the Loop since Christmas.... it does not track distances. I use the Strava App to track my distance

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.

Yes, it does. Once you go online to garmin connect, there is a lot of information available about your activity. As Bart said, not so much on the watch as you run.

It does track elevation, but you can only see it after uploading to Garmin Connect (it doesn't show on the display while you're exercising). Not sure if you can export to RunKeeper.

Not really sure how accurate but did catch movement when on bike, placed on shoe string. However, now I use a fitbit. Got it for Christmas and like the heart beat reading .. Good luck to you !

It sure does. Separate sensor on the crank shaft and frame opposite it for cadence. I have my main speed, distance, time etc. attached to the back wheel so that I can use it on a stationary device

It doesn't track. I think it senses the movement of your body. I've not been on a bike since I've had it.

Yes. And in the app you have the ability to switch to metric for tracking purposes. It's fantastic.

Yes it does. It tracks duration, distance, avg.pace, avg. speed, max speed, and calories.
