Does it just track basic movement or does the HRM help track every movement? Like yoga, walking slow paced where your heart rate isn't as elevated.

Almost all movement. Not just your arm movement when sitting at. Deak, but when you're in motion, it know. It definitely counts walking at a slow pace but I do not see it counting yoga.

Well, it definitely tracks any type of ambulatory movement. My wife does not do yoga, but she does swim and it does not track that. She inputs that online.

Basic movement. I have not yet had a chance to wear the heart monitor. As far as encouraging CV activity, it pushes you (rather you push yourself) to get up and get going. Really like the device so far but feel it could be a curse if one is determined to do it right. Really like the step challenges as it brings out the competitiveness. In the end everyone wins.

It tracks steps, miles walked, and calories burned. Once you get your account set up on line you can track these items plus track your calorie intake (with a little effort on your part). The FitBit has helped me to lose 16 lbs so far and it keeps you "honest".

It doesn't have an specific set up for walking, but it will monitor your heart rate and calories burned while walking

well its monitors your heart rate if you want to calculate distance you will have to get one of two things you can either get a foot pedometer or can buy a Bluetooth heart rate monitor that will work with a phone device and your watch

Yes the heart rate monitor only works when you touch the face, I would not recommend this watch for regular monitoring of the heart. It's designed for working out. I suppose if I felt my heart felt a bit irregular I might think to use this as a guide line or idea, but certainly would follow up with a true medical device or my doctor. I have been extremely satisfied with this watch for working out, but if I needed something to monitor my heart rate for medical purposes I would not use this watch. Hope this helps

It does, the watch by itself will help you track distance as a GPS would, but any other information you need this sensor, it will help you track HR and calories burned, if you want an all day long monitor, you need the Nike Fuel band, though it is not as accurate as the Sportswatch+ the HR monitor.

Yes it will track steps/distance. If you set the timer on it and you are stationary too long it will vibrate letting you know it is time to get up moving. It will also track your sleeping patterns. No GPS

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.

Yes, it tells the amount of calories burned. It tracks steps, distance, calories burned, and fat burned.

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.

Yes it figures out where your target heart rate should be and also keeps track of your average heart rate during each workout

It seems to measure your calories burned based on you checking your heartrate. I have noticed while in the midst of exercising and I check my heartrate with the watch, after it gets a clear read on my heart, the calories burned display shows either more or less calories in the totals.

When you wear it on your shoe, it recognizes the circular movement, I guess. If you cycle/walk/run for over 10 minutes in a row it counts this as a workout, if not it just counts steps.

It senses your steps or "cadence" as you run then at the end of your first treadmill run it sakes you if you want to calibrate it , I guess it has you some how enter your pace according to the treadmill , I've only used it on a treadmill a couple times and have never done the calibration but it was pretty close even without doing that.

Watch is worn on wrist. That is most of the movement that is "tracked". -- However, it should pick up heart rate based on exercise...whatever you are doing.

I found that the transmitter belt from my Sole treadmill did work although the rate didn't change very frequently. It seemed more of a snapshot rather than continuous monitoring. The lack of info on the heart rate monitor function is rather appalling.

The heart rate monitor is attached to a strap that fits around your chest, right under your bra, and syncs with the Vivofit. I just wear it when I exercise. Although it bugged me a little when I first started wearing it, I usually forget I have it on now.
