Is the heart rate monitor also waterproof

It can take some water but no it is not fully water proof so you can not wear in the water?

The strap I bought came with the watch. I purchased it heartratemonitorsusa.Just so you know the heart rate strap is useless under water. Hope this is helpful!

I've never used it IN the water (i.e., swimming), and given that it is an electronic gadget, I wouldn't think you would want to purposefully put your heart monitor under water. But I get pretty sweaty during my HIIT workouts and I don't think spilling a little water from your water bottle from time to time harms it.

I don't think it is water proof. Not really sure, but I know my son subjected his watch to rough play and it still works.

I use it for my water aerobics classes. I believe it's waterproof up to 30 feet. I use it mainly to track steps, calories and fat burned. I am very happy with it.

No, it does not. You could wear it under your swim cap and have the running mode on. However, I do NOT recommend this watch. When training for my tri I used a regular swim watch and never tested this watch out in the water because I didn't think I needed to. Well, the day of the tri water got in the watch. It's not entirely waterproof. I've had the watch less than it year and it turns on and off (probably water damage). Bad buy.. Hope this helps!

You can wear both the watch and belt underwater, but the belt will not transmit your heart rate to the watch as long as it's submerged.

This is my 3rd heart rate monitor and the 3rd one that says it's NOT to be used swimming. The watch is fine, provided you don't press any buttons while submerged but I haven't found a heart rate monitor strap that's OK to swim in. I would guess that higher end HRM watches & straps (>$100) are fine for swimming.

Yes, they have heart rate sensor strap but not necessarily to order it in the same purchase. Since I already have one so I do need to buy it. But if you need one, simply order the sensor strap together.

Yes, it is water resistant (i.e., good for swimming), but it is not a dive watch.

No. And don't wash your hands while wearing it, either. From their website FAQ: "The Withings Pulse is not meant to be worn while swimming and as it is not waterproof it is not meant to be worn while taking a shower either. When exercising, we recommend that you place your Withings Pulse into the provided Belt Clip to avoid direct contact with the sweat for a prolonged period of time...Please note that any physical or liquid damage will void the warranty." Mine went dead after about two months, and because I hadn't read the small print, I didn't know this. I wore it on my wrist for endurance running (lots of sweat) and didn't remove it when I washed my hands throughout the day (activity tracking). When it stopped working and I tried to get it replaced, they made sure I knew that they would be able to tell whether it was ever wet and if so my warranty would be voided.

Yes. The strap around your mid-section is barely noticeable which measures your heart rate. The watch itself is about that same size as any other sport watch.

No...... this device isn't water resistant in that sense. I ran w it in a light rain and the bezel had some difficulty,,, there is a Garmin that is water resistant, but not this one. Hope that helps.

the watch itself it is. the GPS sensor, I dont think so. It has a power connector so it may not be completely waterproof. You could put it in a ziplock bag I guess. it is a good watch though.

yes there should be - I was nit happy with the watch - the pulse does not work when you are working out and get sweaty. Also FYI it is not water proof whatsoever.

Good question! I don't know if it is water proof or not. I'm and avid runner, so anything apart from cardo exercises, I don't really Know!

No, but you can wash your hands while wearing it. It is as water resistant as any watch.
