Yes For continuous heart rate monitoring. For spot check of your heart rate you just push the silver butting with your index finger and it gives you ECG accurate heart rate.

I cannot look at mine because it is not accessible at the moment, but I believe it did come with a strap, yes. Like the one pictured on the Life Saver website.

No it doesn't come with a strap. I wish it would have but it doesn't and I don't know where you can get one at.

There is no sternum strap, but as small as this backpack is I don't feel like you would need one when wearing it. Unless you fill it with rocks.I have my ipad, charger, keyboard, a few books, wallet, and keys in this backpack for my commute and it stays very securely on my shoulders without a sternum strap.With the above listed items inside it is also still very comfortable to wear due to the rigid backing.

Hello - I gave this as a gift and I think it did come with a strap. For the price, I thought the quality was pretty good! Good luck...

Yes it has a chest strap, I don't know how much weight it is actually rated for, but Ive packed a lot of meat out of the woods and it's a solid design, I usually load 80-100 lbs and it handles it nicely. Hope that helps

Yes - has a chest strap. I've used it for carrying an inflatable raft and oars - weighs about 55lbs. No issues at all.

No it does not. I mentioned the need in My review. For big jobs it would recommend getting a strap.

It must be worn with the chest strap for the heart monitor function to work. All the other functions work without it.

No, the required strap is included in the package. I have enjoyed mine tremendously.

Yes there is a chest strap. I've loaded about 30lbs. of prospecting gear on it and the load is comfortable. It is all my old parts want to carry, but the frame loaded it out with ease. Not sure about a moose or something...Ross
