How does it monitor your heart rate if there is not chest band?

This is a chest strap-free heart rate monitor watch. It reads the pulse through the tip of your fingers. I find this more comfortable to wear and more convenient in my opinion. The heart rate readings are accurate.

You need to put your index fingertip of the opposite hand in the metal around the watch. You hold it there for maybe 1 to 2 seconds and it gives you a reading. The metal has a sensor to read the heart beats.

It measures you heart rate by putting your index finger on the face of it. Works great! Got it for my 14 year old daughter who needed to monitor her heart rate. It's also least expensive at Amazon.

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.

The heart rate monitor is a strap that goes around your chest. They sell units with a strap.

As Steven said, it just logs the data. That allows you to check how your heart rate was changing while you were exercising.

Chest. I don't even notice it's on. Works great with my iphone app "Map My Run" and several other apps I've tried. I also have the watch and other than taking a minute to "link" sometimes, it's been great.

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.

Do not worry ! It works very well. I use it every day during exercise, it perfectly comes with the chest strap heart rate.

Only your heart rate. Remember the closure on the band is weak. I actually lost mine walking to work. Think twice if you are going to be very active with this unit.

No, with this model, there is no chest strap. In order to have it record and display your heart rate, you need to place your index and middle fingers on to the medal surface of the watch. After placing your finger tips on the watch, it may take up to 5 seconds before it displays the heart rate.

The chest strap is required to receive a heart rate. If it doesn't connect initially, try getting the chest strap sensors wet, then putting it on and holding the watch to the chest strap after it is on your chest. I haven't used it as a watch but I would assume.

No, the chest strap has an attached monitor that detects your heart beat/rate.

Strap goes on your chest ( below sternum ) & watch on wrist. Strap gives data to watch, which in turn will record heart rate data. Watch will display heart rate , calories burnt etc.

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.

It must be worn with the chest strap for the heart monitor function to work. All the other functions work without it.

Yes. There is a chest strap to monitor your heart rate. A sensor for the crank to measure the cadence and a sensor for the wheel to measure the speed.

It will monitor resting heart rate.So long as the chest strap is properly positioned it will monitor your heart rate.

No. There is no chest strap with this heart rate monitor. You are required to touch two of your fingers on the contacts to get your heart rate.
