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.

Just went down to check my bike to refresh my memory. There is 1 sensor unit you install on your bike. It houses 2 sensors inside (1 for the magnet you put on your pedal for cadence, and 1 for the magnet you put on your back tire for speed). Then of course there is the heart rate band you put around your chest. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks!

There is a chest strap and a wristwatch. The wristwatch is really nice, but it does NOT compute calories properly, so if that is a concern, please don't buy this!! I have been using the Polar FT4 for a long time now and have been happy. I did have to call the company at one point because it wasn't performing at it's best for a while, but they gave me some excellent care tips! Should you decide to go with the Polar HRM, please feel free to contact me again and I'll gladly share my tips :-) Best of luck!!

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.

Yes it comes with a chest strap. The strap has a device that sends your heart rate to the wrist device. The strap is made of an elastic material that is adjustable. I am a 48 regular and it adjusted out to fit just fine.

If you are referring to the HR sensor that straps around your chest, Yes. You get an elastic chest strap and the sensor, which is attached using buttons. The watch communicates and collects the data from the sensor strapped to your chest.

No. The heart rate monitor that comes with the treadmill requires that you place both hands on the hand rail for a few seconds to get a reading.

The wrist band is plastic and it is not removable, you would have to cut it, you could thread a leather wrist band across the back through each loop for the band but then the heart rate monitor won't work or you could go to a leather worker and get them to sew on a band on each side for the band. But that would be a giant hassle.

Yeah. You have to wear the chest strap to get heart rate and caloric burn, but that doesn't bother me.

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.

In order to measure your heart rate you must wear the heart rate monitor. Yes, it will count your steps and calories without the chest strap.

Yes; the chest strap is the only way this watch can monitor your heart rate and calories. Without it, it's just a watch with functions you can't use

Yes it does include a chest strap, monitor unit and watch; however, I was only able to connect the watch to the monitor unit fewer than a dozen times. I sent the watch back in favor of a more reliable one.

I believe the difference is the foot pod. You cannot use it without a chest strap for heart rate, but you can use the foot pod without the chest strap.

Hi Brian, good question. Basis bands detect heart rate in real time on the wrist and show minute averages on your online dashboard. You can track you stress by monitoring your elevated heart rate but the band is not meant to diagnose any health conditions.
