Does it give you a value for HRV, or just the color coding referenced in reviews?

I don't know about value for HRV, but I know if you connect the emwave 2 with the computer, it will give you graphs, comparison for each time you use it and many many more. I don't use it often enough to know all the features. Sorry about that.

I am sorry to sound stupid, but I am not sure what you mean when you say "color codes"? I receive over 1800 dpi resolution in HD on some stations and others roughly 800 dpi - is that what you mean?

Please resubmit your question,....don;t know what you mean. The Polar coded Model I bought works perfectly, and as it is coded does not interfers with signals of other gym equipment in the same exercise room etc. You have to spray wet the band to be able to monitor your heart rate.

Thank you for your interest. This sale is for Premium HRM. The one that is beind sold for 99$ is the HRM-RUN. The new belf of Garmin that comes in the Fenix 2 and FR 620 only.

I don't think so. Whenever I use the pulse monitor to check my heart rate it gives me a ridiculous number like 93 in the middle of a cardio workout. When I use the exercise function it gives you a calorie burn number that sounds reasonable but there is no way to know if it is accurate because it is based on settings in the watch that are supposed to be described in a manual that I never received. I think it was a waste of money

I have only had this monitor a short time so I have no idea what will happen later. Nor have I checked it with a doctor. Also, I wouldn't know if the readings were errors! but would probably go in to have my blood pressure read if the readings seemed unusual. After looking at other responses I see that this is about the ERR message. I have only had that once. I am more concerned with the accuracy of the readings.

You can program it either way when you do your HR set up. Its easier for run/bike to use percents if you want to stay in a zone, and it has zone alarms. I wear the watch in the pool but not the heart rate monitor. It will take time to get used to the watch and its functions, but read and re read the instructions. You will be fine. My only issue with it is the intervals. But otherwise like the watch.

emWave2 actually has interactive "games" that are not too complex, but at least they are games that approximate an engaging environment (good HRV feedback in the form of a b&w photo turning up color schemes, colored sparkles emanating from the palm of your hand. Handheld alone is fine and games only via laptop/desktop. Inner Balance obviously has the advantage of ipod touch and iPad which I have used easily, but there are NO games as of yet. the peaceful image you see in the promo screen is just that...a peaceful image that does NOT change or provide visual feedback of successful HRV. you can see line graph changes of your HRV so there IS visual feedback, but I try to teach HRV skill to children who have no idea what a line graph means...and can give up easily after just waiting for blue or green dots. If given the choice, I'd go with inner balance because I'm trusting heartmath will see this as a burgeoning market and go forward with developing gaming apps. even better if they open it up to other game makers.

No, it is not coded because the user manual addresses electrical interference from exercise equipment and other heart rate transmitters. If the transmitter were coded for the computer, interference would be less of an issue. I have not experienced any issues and visually verify the blinking heart while checking my carotid pulse.

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.

The HRM run is built into the HeartRate monitor. You need to have the package that includes both a heart rate monitor and the watch. When you download to Garmin connect you can see the oscillation on the chart with your range showing normal. You can see where On garmin connect your steps change.It's not super scientific but is interesting to see.Also check out the new fenix 2 before you buy the 620. It looks very impressive and the same price.

I have found it very accurate when compared against other devices like treadmill sensors which you hold on to and even when I compare to a blood pressure monitor.There is a little heart which flashes on the top right so if you hold your other hand to the pulse at your neck you can get confirmation that the heartbeat measured on the watch coincides with the actual heartbeat you are experiencing.

no, but you have to touch it all the time in order to work. Sometimes it does´t read the HR. It´s an ok HR monitor, but not the best by far.

No. It calculates the estimate by skin temperature, movement, and some other things through the sensor. I use both armband and a polar hrm and they are pretty much the same for my activity. Sometimes the hrm will be moreand ssometimes it's less.

Oh no. Not that fancy. Just gives you the heart rate, exercise time, average heart rate. Or maybe thats all I have figured out cause thats all I wanted. Who knows.

I apologize for my first entry. I was thinking of the new heart rate monitor watch that I purchased after returning this watch. Sorry but I do not remember what the Chrono numbers were like.

I agree with Ian-Paul. Before buying this HRM i checked it out at Sigma`s homepage. There you can see all the models and their options. I am very sattisfied with this model. At first it seemed a little too big for me, but I got used to it
