I am looking for a good watch to provide data for asthma control, would this be good?

Absolutely not. It would neither provide detailed enough cardiac data over a span of attacks nor would it provide any predictive indicators of respiratory inflammation.

The watch shows your heart rate in real time. The percentage function is something you can setup for different types of training. Hope this helps.

I don't think so. It has other charts but not that. I do like mine. I go to the gym. Since I move between exercises, a chart for me would be somewhat erratic. However, it does a good job of measuring my effort in three levels of intensity based on the percentage of maximum heart rate. At the end, I can see the maximum and average heart rate for the day. Good luck.

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.

It is very simple to use and understand and would be great for use on long walks as you have to stop to check your heart rate. You can try to check it while moving but it will only work about half the time, it works really well when you are standing still to check

No, this just monitor you Heart Variable Rate and Heart Beat, but have a pacer for the breathing for my is better than just the breathing

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.

I found that the transmitter belt from my Sole treadmill did work although the rate didn't change very frequently. It seemed more of a snapshot rather than continuous monitoring. The lack of info on the heart rate monitor function is rather appalling.

My previous review was more complete on this subject, however, in a nutshell the watch is more useful than not and I often will specifically choose to wear in non sports circumstances for the advantage of a quick check of which emails are waiting, weather, temperature, date. Also I found the find your device app useful. I have also be using the sleep monitoring function. The only thing hit or miss is the heart rate monitor.

When I have used it with the machines at my gym it seems to be fairly accurate at tracking my heart rate. It is as accurate as an average digital watch.

I have another monitor that came with interchangeable cuffs. The cuffs from it work on iHealth so I believe you can do that. This is the future and a very good system. I wish my Group Health on-line message system would handle email from the system. it sends in out in text and cvc format that can be graphed. I have afib that needs motoring. It is intermittent and the drugs I use bring my pulse down to 40-50. I tolerate it but have cramps in my legs at times.

I cannot add anything to the answer that you received from "Garth". The instructions for setting the time are definitely not clear (as you probably know already) and the design of this watch makes setting the time a challenging task. I purchased this watch strictly for the heart rate function (I only use it when running the treadmill) since I use a different watch for keeping tracked of time. Sorry that I can't provide more assistance.

I can tell you this watch it is that I use for jogging and exercising and I was very good poeque measures steps, measures km when I run, measures calories burned and finally measures the pulse of the heart, by an additional guard week all these measurements to keep record please excuse me for my little command of the English language.

My sister and I both use it to check blood pressure, but I think it just monitors the last person who used it. We do record both of our information for future reference.

Only if u are setting it to keep track. You would have to also periodically check your pulse for a reading. This is strictly used for when you are exercising

Yes, I use it myself to track my soccer performance. Even better if you combine it with the heart tracking and the gps watch.

I really don't pay much attention to that. I watch the heart rate and I don't always get accurate readings with it so I'm not real impressed with it sorry I couldn't be more help
