Does this monitor heart rate continuously during workouts? You don't have to stop and out your fingers on it or anything like that?

Yes you have to put your fingers on it, although at times i see a heart rate average and I have not put my finger on it. So, it may monitor it, but I put my finger on the watch.

Also i got it awhile ago and as of now it still works, so i am happy with it.

This was sent back because it was so inaccurate as pedometer. Then it just flat out died.Good news, they stand behind product and refund

The heart rate monitor is not constant. You must apply your fingers to the contact spot

Yes as a matter of fact sometimes after exercising I wind up leaving it on for a while just to measure my resting heart rate. It works fine

It gives a continuous reading of your heart rate. You can see the rate change as your exertion go up or down.

Yes it does after you set the timer to begin your workout and while your working out and you take your heart rate it will show you how much you have burned and than it will go back to timer and keep recording until your finished, I love mine and wear it all the time for any workouts I do!

If you wear the heart rate monitor all day it does. Keep in mind it is a strap around your chest and it is not comfortable for extended uses. I only wear mine during workouts and it works very well.

The wahoo app is pretty amazing. It allows you to customize workouts and which sensors to use. For indoor treadmill use, I have the heartrate monitor, but turn off GPS. For something outside, I like to track where I run so will turn on heartrate and gps. You can set up each workout under a different profile, and customize which displays you'd like to see. I like the one that shows my optimal fat burn heart rate. Oh, I almost forgot you can also set each profile to alert you. I have mine to alert me when my heart rate enters optimal fat burning zone, and also when it leaves it.

It has a strap on your chest with a sensor which sends the reading to the watch. It has a setting on the watch which can be set to "constant" and it will give you a readout all the time. There is a function which I haven't tried yet which will give you the duration of your exercise and maximums you reach.

Not really. It can't be used as a stop watch. It is a very basic heart rate monitor. I highly recommend this watch. It is a great value; and easy to use.

If you use a heart rate monitor such as a strap used around the chest or if you have exercise equipment that has built in pada on the handlebars. This product will create and send a fast electrical link with your equipment to let you see your heart rate progress during workout. A little goes a long way and works whether on your hand, if you equipment comes so equipped or on a chest strap

You must press the pulse button to get a pulse reading. It will continue real time as long as you hold the button. There are few on the market that take continuous pulse on the wrist yet, I've looked ;)

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

Short answer: yes.Long answer: when you begin your work out, you hit a start/stop button. This starts a timer and begins keeping track of the various other things: calories, avg hr, etc. If you don't start the timer, you don't get those things tracked.It also has a lap button, to help with tracking pace, if you're a runner, swimmer or cyclist. I don't use that feature myself, so can't speak to it.

It does. Provided you use this with a Heart Rate Monitor. You might want to consider the Multisport cardio which has a built in HRM.

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.

Yes you can stop/pause the workout. The timing counter may start over again (counting down or up depending how you have it set), however once you have your intervals set they will remain the same. If you are referring to the stopwatch, I don't know since I only use the intervals.

Also, read the other answers: this device DOES NOT offer continuous heart rate monitoring. I think the description is a little misleading about that. For me a deal breaker.

Yes, the chest strap is the only way to detect your heart rate. It works well with this watch. The first time I used it while on one of the treadmills at our fitness center, I noticed that the chest strap also automatically syncs wirelessly with the treadmill, which shows your heart rate on its display screen. Hope this is helpful!
