I have a condition that causes my heart to race occasionally. I want a HRM that continuously tracks and doesn't use a chest strap. Would this work?

It largely depends on exactly what you mean by "occasionally". The battery life on this is only 10 hours, it's intended to be worn only while actively working out, so if you're looking for your heart to start race "occasionally" during short predefined periods of time then it would work great. If you're looking for detection at some arbitrary time during your normal day, then no this isn't the product for you.

That's what I'm using it for. I have SVT. it has color peak rate settings you can adjust via the app.

No, it does not require a heart monitor. It tracks your calories by how much it estimates based on your movements. I think it is pretty good at sensing movements. Again, I have no problems with it other that you care barely read the screen. I wish the background was dark and the numbers were light.

The heart rate monitor is optional. You can purchase the wrist unit without the heart rate monitor, or both. If you purchase the wrist unit without, you can buy the chest strap heart rate monitor later.

Yes. It comes with a chest strap. Make sure you order it including the strap. Some of the sellers have a without strap option, but you NEED the strap for heart rate.

No, it doesn't offer this feature - there's no way to get a printout or anything. That's a really cool idea, but I've never heard of a portable HRM that will do that.

The heart rate monitor is a strap that goes around your chest. They sell units with a strap.

Hello Bruce, I had the Nike+ Sportswatch GPS and needed a HRM to go with it. I just checked the Product Description here on Amazon and found the following:"Polar WearLink+ transmitter Nike+ picks up your heart's signals and transfers that data into the Nike+ system. The soft fabric chest strap seamlessly adapts to your body shape, bringing full freedom of movement to your training. With its hook mechanism, transmitter is just as quick to put on as it is to take off.Transfers heart rate information while swimming with products which support 5kHz transmission** FT1, FT2, FT4, FT7, FT40, FT60, FT80, RS100, RS300X, RS400, RCX5, CS100, CS200, CS300"so I guess it does work with the CS300 Hello Bruce, I had the Nike+ Sportswatch GPS and needed a HRM to go with it.

This one comes with a foot pod that helps you to measure how long you have run, and at what speed you were running basically. No, it needs the chest strap in order to measure your heart rate, otherwise it's just a fancy watch. The chest strap is comfortable and easy to use, I use it almost on daily basis while I'm training. If you just want to use it as a watch, you don't need the chest strap, on the other hand if you don't use tight shirts, you could wear the chest strap and nobody would notice it. This one is for runners or people who walk and want to check distance, speed and such. It's great for training though.

I have been using the BLE Heart Rate Monitor app, which is free and works great. The developer tries to charge for certain features (charting, exporting to CSV, etc.), but if you just need it to monitor your current heart rate during a workout, you don't need to spend a dime.

It can, but you'll just have to wear the heart rate monitor all day. I use it only for working out.

Yes the heart rate monitor only works when you touch the face, I would not recommend this watch for regular monitoring of the heart. It's designed for working out. I suppose if I felt my heart felt a bit irregular I might think to use this as a guide line or idea, but certainly would follow up with a true medical device or my doctor. I have been extremely satisfied with this watch for working out, but if I needed something to monitor my heart rate for medical purposes I would not use this watch. Hope this helps

Hi, the heart rate monitor works just fine for me and I've used it for maybe 7-10 runs and get VERY sweaty.

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!

If you use a heart rate monitor such as a strap used around the chest or if you have exercise equipment that has built in pada on the handlebars. This product will create and send a fast electrical link with your equipment to let you see your heart rate progress during workout. A little goes a long way and works whether on your hand, if you equipment comes so equipped or on a chest strap

I use this heart monitor but not with the app suggested. It will work with multiple apps so I'm sure there is probably one that will alert you to a specific heart rate. I use mapmyfitness.

I use the Polar Heart rate sensor and the runtastic Cadence sensor. They are both reasonably reliable and would recommend them
