Does the watch tell me about recovery time etc from my gym work out or other sports (hiking, badminton etc.) or it is for running only ?

I am not completely sure, but I think that the main criteria for recovery time is your heartbeat. If so, then you would get recovery time recommended for gym and other sports.

This watch is not a multi-sport watch. It is specifically designed for runners/running. I looked at the multi-sport watches prior to buying this one and they were much more expensive.

Yes, it is not a multisports watch but it can still monitor your recovery and vo2max.

As far as I know, it has lap time, overall time, transition time (triathlon), and I think it could give you time per activity (running, bike, swimming). What is that you want to measure?

I use it for weight training, the elliptical (when I have to use it), running and Insanity/Asylum/T25 videos. I am a long distance runner by nature and habit. I have had no issues switching among activities with accurate heart rate, time, calories etc.

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

Not really because the watch is primarily meant to monitor distance covered in a specific period of time with the additional heart monitor which is paired with the watch. What I'm trying to say is that there is nothing wrong in using it for non-running cardio workouts, but if you do, you ignore other functions this product offers and therefore should maybe look for a different solution.

It lets me know what bpm after I have finished walking.I just bought another phone and I didn't realize it checks your heart rate, so I haven't been using it lately. I hope this answers your question.

The watch will calculate distance during your runs. In real time you'll have access to speed, elevation, distance travelled, etc. You will need a heart rate monitor (I.e the chest strap) in order to track HR during your runs or rides. The foot pod is only necessary if you plan on training on a treadmill.

The device comes with a heart rate monitor included and it does give the max and average heart rates. The device actually gives quite a deal of information. Runners world, when they did a review of the previous model of this watch called it "The Data Miner." I mostly use it with a footpod so it gives pace, speed and distance etc.

There are two models one with HRM bundled while the other not. As for vertical oscillation, ground contact , recovery time, VO2 Max etc the watch will indicate proper ranges and evaluate your performance accordingly via garmin connect Web page.

Yes, you can track your distance, pace, BPM while running! I'm really happy with mine.

I assume you are asking whether it takes reading continuously as you run? Yes it does. The watch stop taking reading only when you finish your activities or when you switch off the sensor.

It tells you for the workout you are doing but its pretty basic. Dont really need a new monitor. I would just recommend getting u a nice heart monitor. They are much more accurate then the things on the machine.

You have the option to choose which one (average or current) to see on your watch: for example, my running metrics are distance, average pace and current heart rate. The metrics can be decided before the run and you can easily switch between different ones during the run. Hope this help.

I actually warm up by doing a power walk before I job. So the watch will record your miles but it will not differentiate walking from running.

It is a watch so it does have a clock that keeps track of the time of day on a continuous basis. However it does not have a stopwatch which keeps track of running time like for a long race or a marathon. When you use it on Heart rate monitor mode it does keep track of the elapsed time. However this does not work out very well as a chronometer as it is specifically keeping track of heart rates and calories burned over this time. It is supposed to be water resistant to 30M but I had vapor in it for a couple of weeks whichmade it hard to read. It did dry up and now is fine.

Yes but I do not use it. I have set it up once to try out. All you have to do is hit the top of your watch to clock an interval. I think this makes it a great IT for short runs but longer distances mean more chance of hitting the IT as you run. Hope this helps, Andrew

No heart rate monitor is required. It will read your heart rate while on your wrist. It tracks your calories by how much it estimates based on your movements. So even if you dont wear it, you will find estimated calorie burn in your watch. If you are looking for actual calorie burn while work out then this watch is not helpful. Also step counter is not accurate. It sense based upon the movement of your hand not step.
