What can this thing do? Does this Polar heart monitor have the ability to tell time as well as all this other stuff it can do?

Yes. Keep hitting lower left button till time appears. Not only twelve hour time but military 2400 hour time is displayed if chosen.

It has number of speeds, clock, and a time. I don't use the clock much because it only displays in military time, nor the timer just because I've never spent the time to figure it out (it doesn't look immediately intuitive).

It keeps and displays the last time you set until you set a new time. You can keep using it to measure the same time without entering the time again. So, yes.

Page 18 of the Owner's Manual (Troubleshooting) gives advice on how to get your Polar compatible heart rate monitor (chest strap) to read accurately. I have a Polar with chest strap. Will the 420 Elliptical read heart rate from signals produced by the chest strap?

The short answer is - YES. The long answer, you can actually configure it to show many things while you are doing your physical activities, for example your average heart rate, how long you've been performing the activity etc. You should check out the videos in YouTube that shows you how to use it, very helpful in teaching you learn how to use this heart rate monitor.

it does monitor heart rate if you push and hold a button. I would not trust it to be completely waterproof. I am on my second LifeTrak, and with the first one, I trusted the claim of waterproof. It quit working after two months. LifeTrak customer service was great and replaced it, but I don't trust the new one to be completely waterproof.

Heart monitor works as well as polar or any other monitors I have used. If you want to use "peak fitness" techniques, this is probably useful.

According to the documentation it will detect an irregular heartbeat and will give an indication; a pulsating heart. Great question. Best of luck.

No, just heart rate. It has a zone feature also keeps time when not used as monitor

Yes it does. Almost anything anyway, as long as you have a heart rate monitor strap. I even used it whilst sleeping to see how low my HR would go!

yes it gives pulse measurement. it also has memory so you can store readings. it has great instructions!

I think this a spot check device. If you are looking for a heart rate monitor for sports consider one of the many polar models.

Yes, it detects irregular heartbeat. The one thing that this model doesn't do, that my prior device did, was record date and time, for historical purposes.

Yes it does. Thats exactly what it was designed for. I recommend you go to your doctor and get a reading from his/her device, that way you'd be able to get an accurate reading from this machine.Strange enough that I also do have an irregular heartbeat many many years now (1997 or so) and the doctor ran some testing for over a 2 weeks period to see what was wrong. Finally he told me thats the way my heart beats. To this day I don't ever worry about it and it does not worry me, and I'm 55 yrs young and going strong ☺ ☻ ☼

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.

There is no clock function. It is however incredibly useful in ways of marking waypoints. Its battery life is amazing as well. I use it as a hunting/tracking aid. Let's face it... If you are out on a trek and need to know what time it is then you need to rethink your trek :)

nope. This doesn't do time ie. is not a stop watch. It only counts "times of something/laps".
