Comes with a heart rate monitor, wear around chest and HR shows up on watch.

Yes there is a band that wraps around your upper rib cage to interact with the watch and display your HR

It did for me. But after a few months of using it daily, it did wear out and wouldn't register my heart rate well at all. The band was fine, just the monitor itself wouldn't work well.

Yes. If you have already been using the computer without the heart rate monitor, you have to reset the computer to read the monitor. It will not read it automatically.

No, you need the chest strap for it to take any BPM reading. This is the best and most simple HRM that I have found.

Hello Beth,For the model I have (Model: 8RS00) there is an additional heart rate strap which needs to be purchased/worn to monitor heart rate. I think there is another model which has it built into the watch, but I'm not sure which one. I've really enjoyed this watch and for my purposes, running, swimming and biking, it's awesome. Good upload onto my iPhone App and good reports for distances, speed, etc. Hope that helps!

Yes; the chest strap is the only way this watch can monitor your heart rate and calories. Without it, it's just a watch with functions you can't use

I have only used mine for running. It shows your calories burned on the display, however the heart monitor is sold separately.

Mine got misplaced in the move so I can't measure it, but I have an average wrist & it fits me fine. Your monitor is correct, it's purple. Not too hard to get it going. It measures your pulse, so if you can get your pulse up bagging-then it'll record that.

I use monitor with timex ironman gps watch and also timex gps bike computer. Have to say this is best heart rate strap I have used. hope this helps

Pebble itself does not have the ability to monitor heart rate. So you'll need a separate heart rate sensor. However, it can interface with apps that DO, like Runkeeper. So basically if you can get the heart rate info on your phone in some way, you should be able to get it on Pebble too with a third party app.

Sorry, silly question. It's not a heart rate monitor.Just an activity tracker.http://forum.polar.fi/showthread.php?s=5080dad3b7bc0e2387ee6e1e9bc60fd6&t;=1634

It the band for the heart rate sensor comes with the watch. If you need other sensors ( I.e.: cadence, speed, distances, etc) you have to buy them separately. The watch works with gps por speed and distance but does not measure cadence without the sensor. Hope this answer helps you.

No. It just logs the data and you can see it in graph form after you upload it. You need a HRM watch to see your heart rate as you exercise. Here's a link to a wide range of HRM's... http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_24?url=search-alias%3Dsporting&field-keywords;=omron%20heart%20rate%20monitor. You can get a good one for $35 (Omron). If you want GPS or more workout information then you pay more for a Garmin or Polar (or similar) unit.

I'm not sure. I just use it as a heart rate monitor while I exercise when pregnant. I know the Garmin watches can (I have one), but it requires a strap for the heart rate (which I hate)

Yes. It comes with a chest strap. Make sure you order it including the strap. Some of the sellers have a without strap option, but you NEED the strap for heart rate.

Hi Brian, good question. Basis bands detect heart rate in real time on the wrist and show minute averages on your online dashboard. You can track you stress by monitoring your elevated heart rate but the band is not meant to diagnose any health conditions.

It includes the strap for reading the heart beats and the watch shows your heart rate. So, it's both. I'm very pleased with the one I have!
