Anyone have trouble getting a heart rate?

I find that the heart rate monitor works quite well. Sometimes it takes a little longer than normal because of it changing while I am working out, etc.And sometimes if I am super sweaty I have to wipe some sweat off first for it to work.

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

I'm not having any trouble with my Smarthealth watch. I check my pulse about 4 times a day to make sure I'm still alive. Actually, checking your heart rate often helps your watch calibrate and customize its other functions specifically for YOU.I love this thing.

Click mode till u find pulse then click set wait till it beeps the screen should have a little heart and the word touch. Then put finger on button till it reads your heart rate.

Stay still, wrist above heart level. Should be good, mine registers within 1or2 points plus/minus of my norm!

Mr. Hanson,Unfortunately you cannot. You can see your heart rate but it will not show if it is abnormal. My suggestion, because I too have dizzy spells occasionally during my workouts, is when you start becoming dizzy make a note of what your heart rate is. If it gets too high that could be causing the dizziness. Of course I am no doctor so please be careful.

Yes, you have to go where the mode button is. After pushing the mode button, just keep pushing until you get to the amount of minutes you have worked out. Basically, the seconds are included with your heart rate. I hope this helps out!

I'd say something is definitely wrong if your Pulse only lasts 14 hours. Have you tried upgrading the software? Otherwise, I'd exchange it or get a replacement from Withings as already suggested.

I set my heart rate range and it beeps when I am not in that range, I don't remember how I did it though, the instructions were a bit confusing at first and now it's just set to go.

This product does not show your heart rate. There is an option for it if you sync it with a Garmin though. I don't have a Garmin, therefore I only use my Polar watch and band.

It may with a rate lower or higher than you feel on your wrist pulse- too fast is Afib and slow is heart block/ PVC's. You feel the arrhythmia- let that be your guide. Then go to the cardiologist.

Usually when I get errors it is because I'm not sitting still or the cuff is too loose. Sometimes when I'm doing a series of checks I have to re-tighten the cuff before it takes the next reading. Also make sure the pulse meter in the cuff (indicated by the orange or blue line or arrow with instructions) is lined up with the artery on the inside of your arm like the picture and booklet show. If it cant pick up your pulse it will give an error message too. Otherwise my monitor is operating fine. My readings are similar to what I get at the dr. office.

I had issues with mine for a while, I would always have to get on at least twice! The first always gave me a much higher reading, the second was usually correct. I has now straighted out. hope it stays that way.

My experience was such that the heart rate monitor failed regardless of the fixes I tried to apply - shaving, changing the battery, wetting, deleting and re-installing the app (I used Adidas miCoach and MotionX-GPS and the failures were consistent on both). Jarv was great and gave me a full refund on both units I tried. I also had this problem with the Adidas miCoach HRM with the dongle. I'm wondering if this is a "me" thing or if it is endemic to monitors in this price point. I read plenty of reviews from people who say they work just fine for them.

i am not sure of an irregular heart beat-doubt it, but you get your oxygen level and heart rate...

It does. Recently it is experiencing some problems reading heart rate with heavy sweat but the tech support team got it sorted for me.

1st , check battery. 2nd, attempt a 'sync' connection by holding down both top & bottom right side buttons. The screen should change & flash 'sync' for a few sec before coming back to the original screen. It may take a few minutes of the heart rate numbers to flash '0' before registering your rate. Be patient. It may take a few attempts of this, several few minutessessions, before it does sync. 3rd, make sure you're placing the strap ondevice fairly high , say nipple high, & squarely where your chest should 'concaves' btwn the nipples...

Hi, the heart rate monitor works just fine for me and I've used it for maybe 7-10 runs and get VERY sweaty.
