Hi. If I have a heart rate sensor (chest strap) will this watch display heartrate, or do I need one of the higher level Garmins for that? Thanks!

You would need a different model. The FR10 does not measure heart rate. I enjoy my Garmin FR410, which comes with or without a heart rate monitor. Some people don't like the touch bezel of the 410, but I don't have a problem with it. The Garmin 610 is a step up from the 410. It has an way to navigate touch screen, but the price is $399. I've researched these a lot and would stick with Garmin. Regardless of which Garmin you have, all of these sync with Garmin Connect. The amount of information given is impressive. After a run, all data can easily be synced to Garmin Connect. You can view a map of your workout, mile splits, and weather conditions. I don't even keep a running log anymore because I look on the calendar function Garmin has. You can also look at data for custom dates or pick a given time frame such as last week, last month, last year. If you have a Costco membership they sell the 410 near the jewelry, and if you don't like it jut return it, no questions asked! I'd be happy to answer any other questions. Let me know what you decide on!

Negative. The watch already has a heart rate monitor. You can display real time info when using the exercise function.

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.

Hi Dwight,Thanks for your question. You can integrate with a Garmin heart rate monitor. Laurie

Yes, they have heart rate sensor strap but not necessarily to order it in the same purchase. Since I already have one so I do need to buy it. But if you need one, simply order the sensor strap together.

It does indeed have built in GPS. If heart rate monitoring is important to you you'll have to buy a separate cheststrap and link them but this unit has everything you need for a basic running GPS watch.

There are two models one with HRM bundled while the other not. As for vertical oscillation, ground contact , recovery time, VO2 Max etc the watch will indicate proper ranges and evaluate your performance accordingly via garmin connect Web page.

Since the Wahoo Rflkt is only "reading" what your iPhone is seeing....then any heart rate monitor that is registered on your phone (via bluetooth) should be "transmitted" from your phone to the RFLKT. Neither my garmin HR or cadence monitor shows up on my phone....I had to get new ones and I got the Wahoo devices. So...if you have a heart rate monitor that monitors your heart through you phone...then I think you will be in business. If not....you may have a problem.

Yes, you have to use the chest strap to read your heart rate. It calculates everything (calories burned, etc.) from you heart rate.

No, unless I have missed something which I don't think I have. The heart rate moniter is just that. There is a palm contact type built into the handle grips that ok for a quick check or when you are using the lower handles ( which I rarely do)It comes with a wireless chest strap that has a readout on the screen but is not interactive with the resistance programming.I really like the machine, there are four of us using it on a regular basis.

from what i understand, Garmin offers the watch alone, or the watch with the heart rate monitor. i got the package that came with both. on a side note, i love my garmin 310xt

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.

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

This model does not include the heart rate monitor and strap. They do have a model that does, but this model is only the watch.

Interesting! I am looking at buying the 405 without the strap, as I still have the one from my now stolen 305. The Garmin support website says that some versions of the 405 are compatible with the HR monitor. How can you tell if the one you are buying is compatible? Or is it just a trick to make you buy the more expensive version?

You need to make sure it is sync'd to your Garmin device. Look at the instruction manual (also available online) for how to sync the heart rate monitor to your device. If that doesn't work, replace the battery and try again.

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.
