The Series 7 comes with everything you need. It comes with a chest strap. I have used it, and it works really well. Gives you a real-time heart rate the entire time. Just put it on, and the machine instantly starts providing your heart rate on the display.

No, unless I have missed something which I don't think I have. The heart rate moniter is just that. There is a palm contact type built into the handle grips that ok for a quick check or when you are using the lower handles ( which I rarely do)It comes with a wireless chest strap that has a readout on the screen but is not interactive with the resistance programming.I really like the machine, there are four of us using it on a regular basis.

Mine did but you should always check "what's in the box". You can also use the Polar Beat App for smart phones and it will also transfer data to Polar Personal Trainer. If you go that route, be sure to get the chest strap with the Bluetooth HRM.

GPS function is built into the watch; nothing else to wear. If you want it to monitor your heart rate, then you have to wear the separate heart-rate strap.

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.

You should just need the chest strap heart rate monitor, the foot pod is really only to calculate the amount of steps you take. The watch itself is really the only thing you NEED.

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!

It comes with a strap with this piece that you snap on it and wear it in the middle of your chest. They actually sent me a new one because it just wasn't working right and I still have the same problem. Basically, I cannot see the calories burned while I am working out and that is the main reason I wear this monitor. I really want to see how hard I'm working out during my workouts. I can't see the true calories burned until I end the workout.

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, the chest strap is the only way to detect your heart rate. It works well with this watch. The first time I used it while on one of the treadmills at our fitness center, I noticed that the chest strap also automatically syncs wirelessly with the treadmill, which shows your heart rate on its display screen. Hope this is helpful!

Yes, the heart rate monitor comes in the box. The standard strap around the chest style. It's about as comfortable as wearing a band around your chest can be.

It does not monitor heart rate. You have to purchase a garmin heart rate monitor and only certain ones. They do link up. If you are concerned about your heart rate then I would make the purchase but I have not felt the need. Not yet anyway.

Indeed, you need to acquire the heart monitor and normally it comes with a chest strap. You need to set the strap in your body, connect the heart monitor on it and then try to pair it with your loop...the loop takes a time to identify the heart monitor, ensure you have the monitor connected in the strap and keep it very close to the loop; be patient, I had to try it 3 or 4 times :)Cheers.

All are included. The cadence sensor is placed on your rear frame with the actuator placed on one of your cranks. The speed sensor can be placed on your front or rear frame (I prefer the rear) and its actuator is on a wheel spoke. The heart rate sensor is a two-piece belt that you place around your chest. I've used it for one season and it has done everything I need/want. I manually transfer the data after a ride to a spreadsheet on my PC. My friend has a model that permits direct attachment and downloading to a PC. As I can type rapidly and accurately, I find that a waste of money.

This version - the HRM version does include a chest strap. You can also buy a version without HRM.

There are two versions of Tomtom multi sport watch. The original came with the optional HR strap. The newest version released in spring 2014 has an optical HRM. There are still some of the older models around but they will NOT have the word "cardio" at the end. Plus they are slightly more expensive. Definitely go for the cardio one but just be sure and tighten up the wrist strap one notch tighter than feel comfortable to start with!
