I have a condition that causes my heart to race occasionally. I want a HRM that continuously tracks and doesn't use a chest strap. Would this work?

It largely depends on exactly what you mean by "occasionally". The battery life on this is only 10 hours, it's intended to be worn only while actively working out, so if you're looking for your heart to start race "occasionally" during short predefined periods of time then it would work great. If you're looking for detection at some arbitrary time during your normal day, then no this isn't the product for you.

That's what I'm using it for. I have SVT. it has color peak rate settings you can adjust via the app.

I have not tried it, but I think it would work when riding your bike since the SPEED, PACE are GPS controlled, the HRM is band/transmitter/signal controlled and CHRONO is time controlled. I do not know at what rate it discharges with use and if it would last a whole, let's say" 100 or 125 mile bike ride of 5 to 7 hours. I only use the system for running. I have (actually, had, since it was a POLAR damaged by water) a heart rate monitor and a bicycle (not wire-less, not GPS) "ol" reliable cyclo computer when riding the bike.

Chest strap for heart rate. Like others said the foot pod is useful if GPS isn't picking up (e.g. running on an indoor track) or you aren't actually moving (e.g. treadmill). I like having the foot pod to know my cadence (steps per minute) but certainly isn't necessary for distance.

They provide a separate heart rate monitor you have to wear. I haven't personally tried it.

Hello! RCX5 requires a chest strap for heart rate monitoring. Connects wirelessly (i think via coded Bluetooth so it will only work with polar sensors). it also connects to gps, speed and cadence sensors simultanously).

It will absolutely work. You also have a chest strap that will monitor your heart constantly. This is a great product!

The manual that it came with was pretty basic, but no mention of heart rate monitor, and I checked and did not see this feature in the settings. No App market support. Said to be waterproof by manufacturer in ad, but upon receiving, indicates that it is not waterproof, and to not allow exposure to moisture.

Make sure the protective coverings have been removed. I wipe mine down with alcohol prep pads. A light grip gives the best accuracy is what I have found. I wear a heart monitor most of the time when working out and it is within 5-7 bpm on the high side in comparrison. I hope this helps. This is the best investment of health equipment I have ever bought. I did add 1" pedal extentions to bring my legs away from the center console which worked out great as well.

The heart rate monitor is a strap that goes around your chest. They sell units with a strap.

No, the chest strap has an attached monitor that detects your heart beat/rate.

It is not necessary, just if you have a more detailed information. But the heart rate monitor can be a big deal if you want to train with heart zones, I started to use it in my runs and it is wonderful to control yourself with your heart.

Yes it does. Almost anything anyway, as long as you have a heart rate monitor strap. I even used it whilst sleeping to see how low my HR would go!

Not that I know of but the heart rate will link with certain gym equipment. You can enter the data in a fitness app though.

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.

Heart monitor works as well as polar or any other monitors I have used. If you want to use "peak fitness" techniques, this is probably useful.

According to the product's manual, it's possible! But remember according to the amazon website "When paired with the HRM-Run monitor1, the Forerunner 620 provides feedback on running form by measuring cadence, vertical oscillation and ground contact time". You could use another belt (garmin's), but probably losing this informations. There is one more issue the price of the total equipment is $449 and without the HRM $399. After that, to buy only the HRM Run it will cost you $100.

Just went down to check my bike to refresh my memory. There is 1 sensor unit you install on your bike. It houses 2 sensors inside (1 for the magnet you put on your pedal for cadence, and 1 for the magnet you put on your back tire for speed). Then of course there is the heart rate band you put around your chest.Please let me know if you have any further questions.Thanks!
