Can you track steps taken or is this only for running &amp; heart rate monitoring?

From what I could tell it does not track steps for walking. I did return it because the set up was not easy to decipher.

as far as i know this watch/health pedometer does not show heart rate. it shows calories, steps and miles and time.

No mapping because there is no GPS. But it will automatically track the heart beat (with the heart monitor) or number of steps and group them (roughly) into an activity session that can labeled online. But no course will be mapped, and the tracker is slow to recognize that an activity has ended (adding about 10% more time by the time it recognizes that pace is back to normal). Sometimes I wear the Garmin 310x with the Vivofit to see the variation between a GPS watch and a stepper watch. The GPS watch is of course much more accurate (and expensive).

Hello. Sure it can definitely track your golf course activities. I would suggest that you put it on Walk and once you upload the data onto the run.goyourlife.com website with the sync tool you can see distance walked, calories burned, elevation, and even pace. The watch itself will also tell you those stats when you set up the different stats on a page within the watch settings. Each page you create can show you up to three different stats with the ability to make up to 4 separate pages with different combination of stats. I hope this answers your question.~Team PAPAGO!

You can do any excercise with it. Having said that, it will only tell you how many calories you've burned and what your heart rate it. There is not a function that will tell you how many stairs you've climbed or what pace you're climbing them.

As noted, this is really for measuring your pace and distance when running/walking via GPS. It provides many features onboard and in conjunction with the Garmin website to track your progress. The battery died in ours and was too expensive to replace, so we now use the MapMyRun app. The free version gives us everything we need. We put it in an armband and off we go.

There is a free app you can download that will track info. I use a Garmin 910 so I don't need the phone info. But I did use the app to set my heart rate zones.

Hi Poly, I am still getting it up and running but pretty certain that it in itself only measures HR. But why it does that is handy for us who love using our smart phones for strava etc is it will translate all the ANT+ from my garmin tools (Cadence/speed sensor, Power Metre, foot pod) into a bluetooth 4.0 signal for your smart phone to read. Some of these are more or less effective on different Apps, Viii own app will receive and show all this information but for instance Strava won't show reading from the power meter. As i said its still new to me but overall Im happy with it. I looked at DCRainmakers review of the product before buying it and he goes very in depth if you want more info. Cheers

When combined with the app MyFitnessPal. Then it will give you the calories burned. But it really doesn't know if your running or just moving your arm fast. It does a great job of tracking steps and movement during the day and sleep. But you have to tell it if your working out.

This device measures HR but only on demand furthermore this cannot be easily accomplished while running.... It cannot differentiate very well between sporting activities although for running I find it perfect.It can be worn as a watch and like the stylish way it looks:)

It is not a GPS mapping device. It is a runners watch that will five you distance, time, pace, average pace, calories burned and heart rate (with heart rate monitor).

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.

Yes and No. It will track your distance for the day and tell you what the number of steps equate to in miles. Online it will show a breakdown of how much time was sitting, walking slowly-moderately and/or running. If you make note of your number of steps prior to your run and immediately afterwards, you can figure out your distance by googling the equation.

Short answer: yes. It tracks your daily miles and there is an option to start tracking a "workout". It works like a stopwatch. You have to go through some menu functions to get to it but it doesn't take very long. You press the lower right button and the timer goes off. As you work out, you can check your HR, see how many calories you have currently lost, and the distance in miles and steps. You can even pause it for those bathroom breaks or extended water breaks and then press the lower right button to restart the workout. It won't save it so if you have another work out it will over ride it. It's quick and easy without complications of setting anything other than pressing a button to start tracking. I love this watch. Unfortunately, one downfall I started to notice was the clasp that kept the darn thing on your wrist became distrustful. First couple months were without issue and then I noticed after daily wear and removal, the clasp would easily unclasp and my watch would fly across the room or drop to the floor. Some causes were during aggressive movement as in a weight lifting workout or a run, but even during non aggressive movement (walking, dishes, picking things up) it would come off. So, with that said, I lost my favorite watch two weeks ago :-( be weary but don't lit hinder you. I would maybe buy another band and switch it every so often. I hope this helps some how...

It tracks how many steps you have taken, how many miles you have walked, and calories burned in one day. It can also track your sleep patterns. You receive a weekly activity report via email. I just love it and it encourages me to walk more because I hate to get my average for the week down.

There is no reason why you could not. You can turn off the GPS and run as stand alone heart rate monitor. The tread mill should give your distance/pace, ect and you would than manually enter that info in to your Runtastic activity profile with the "manual edit" feature online once you had synced the watch and uploaded that specific activity.

No, this watch does not track your sleep or your steps. It a GPS, very accurate, track miles walked, miles run, and miles biked. Many other things as well. Good piece of equipment.
