Does it provide continuous heart rate?

It does. Recently it is experiencing some problems reading heart rate with heavy sweat but the tech support team got it sorted for me.

The sensor is not always on. It is on during your activity and when you choose to view it (when not in an activity), but it is not continuously measuring it 24 hours a day. When it is on and working properly, it gives a continuous reading that can be seen in a graph after you upload it it TomTom My Sports. By design , it is not on during swim activities.

I assume you are asking whether it takes reading continuously as you run? Yes it does. The watch stop taking reading only when you finish your activities or when you switch off the sensor.

Not sure, it just doesn't seem to sense the pulse at times. Try putting it on your thumbnail

Only if u are setting it to keep track. You would have to also periodically check your pulse for a reading. This is strictly used for when you are exercising

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that question. I can tell you that this watch doesn't come with a heart rate monitor. I bought 2 of them. I'm not sure where Amazon got that picture from showing the watch with a monitor cord.

Since the monitor picks up your pulse, I'd suggest that if it's not showing a regular beat, then go get a heart check-up. It's just my thought that it would give an irregular pulse rate.I just finished trying it on my husband, who DOES have an irregular heart beat & the little heart shows a "blip" every 3 beats, which would definitely be his irregular heart beat. Hope that helps. Just watch the little heart on your monitor.

Yes, it does indicate a heartbeat. It also indicates that it is working and to wait for a reading.

No it does not.Heart Rate is provided by pressing the central button below the screen.m.g.

No, it does not require a heart monitor. It tracks your calories by how much it estimates based on your movements. I think it is pretty good at sensing movements. Again, I have no problems with it other that you care barely read the screen. I wish the background was dark and the numbers were light.

The device comes with a heart rate monitor included and it does give the max and average heart rates. The device actually gives quite a deal of information. Runners world, when they did a review of the previous model of this watch called it "The Data Miner." I mostly use it with a footpod so it gives pace, speed and distance etc.

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 get increase your heart rate slightly but I didn't find it to be significant. I wore my heart rate monitor during one 10" session and only noticed a small increase, not enough to get me in the targeted zone suggested for my age.

It does record irregular heart beats. The heart icon on the readout will blink when those beats are present. I'm an RN and have used it when I was having arrythmias and definitely saw it on the monitor!

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

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.

I've never used it as you describe, but it starts showing your heart rate once you place the band on your chest. You would need to wear watch and band.
