Yes you can take the reading while you're walking.My best advice to you is if you haven't already,DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.I WAS ON MY 3RD ONE & IT DIED AGAIN.TIRED OF SENDING IT BACK SO I JUST WROTE IT OFF AS A LOSE. PIECE OF JUNK.EXSPECTED BETER FROM TIMEX.

I could rarely get my heartrate while running. I had to stop and put my fingers on it and wait a minute or two - by which time my pulse had slowed quite a bit. I just stopped using it. The primary reason I bought the watch was to get my pulse while running but I was just frustrated trying to do that. Wasted my money.

When the watch actually worked, obtaining my pulse was a problem - difficult to get it to work. Furthermore, the screen went blank after less than one month of use. A bummer of a purchase.

You can record until 200 BPM. But if you want to measure the pace while you running, you need a polar o garmim watch.

If you are working out and press "stop", your time, miles, etc will keep on for about 5 minutes, then it will reset itself to the select screen. I usually turn it off completely.

In order to monitor your heart rate you do. It's easier when you are working out than the ones that you have to stop what you are doing and touch the phone in multiple places and wait. But you do have to have both pieces and it isn't super comfy.

According to the manufactures' page "In addition to Run, you can also select Treadmill and Stopwatch, neither of which activates the Cardio's GPS radio, and instead relies on the accelerometer and heart rate monitor."Here is a link to the page, if you would like to know more:http://www.tomsguide.com/us/tom-tom-runner-cardio,review-2184.html

As Steven said, it just logs the data. That allows you to check how your heart rate was changing while you were exercising.

This isn't meant to take readings while exercising. It won't take your HR while on your wrist. You'd have to take it off, activate the screen, keep tapping the toggle button until you reach the HR / Sleep mode screen, swipe to activate HR reader, hold the Pulse between your fingers gently (holding it firm causes reading to fail) and wait about 7 seconds. This process is easy for me and I have taken my reading while running but I don't see most people having the patience.There are better waist fitting HR readers that give you a better experience.

Yea, beeps on all key pressesIncrement/decrement in .1 mph incrementsIf you restart within 20mins of stopping it will remember your stats. After 20 mins it all resets and assumes you are finished rather than taking a break.

Yes, if buy the heart monitor strap. It tells you if its too low or in range. If you sign up for Garmin connect it will create a graph for each workout so you can compare as well. I had to use all of this for a class.

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.

I have had occasion where I couldn't do a second heart rate reading within a minute of doing the first reading. What you are describing sounds like a problem the company needs to be aware of.

The key is make sure the watch is tightly secure and above the wrist bone; you may have to wait 10-30 seconds before it starts reading your heart rate before you begin. the heart rate on my current watch has been great for running and cycling. As a matter of fact, I can use it to monitor my heart rate while swimming, so instead of using the "swim" mode activity, which does not monitor heart rate, I use the "treadmill" mode activity. BUT, with that said, I did have a model which I had to return because the heart rate monitor was defective, sweat causing it to stop or have wild readings. Sweat should not impact how it works--you are suppose to sweat when you run.

There is no reason why you could not. You can turn off the GPS and run as stand alone heart rate monitor. The tread mill should give your distance/pace, ect and you would than manually enter that info in to your Runtastic activity profile with the "manual edit" feature online once you had synced the watch and uploaded that specific activity.

it's pretty simplistic....i'd go with what the other person said and get a heart monitor....

It does show low and high heart rate.I think it does alarm when you exceed I have it turned off

No, you need to keep your hand still for accurate readings, it is by no means meant for that. Unless you are talking about in between exercises. Also, this is one of the worse pulse oxs out there, go with another brand.

No, you don't. I wear my Omron just like a watch. You place two fingers on the face and in a few seconds you have your heart rate. I love mine and it' accurate.
