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

Yes, but I didn't get to even use it a whole year before it stopped working

I believe so! To be honest I haven't tried to get an accurate HR without using the chest strap!

I don't use the shoulder strap because it tends to slip and fall off my shoulder. I just carry mine by the handle attachment...

No. It comes with a strap you wear around your chest. It's comfortable, and can be worn under your shirt.

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.

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.

It has a chest strap, but due to the weight of the bag, it can add strain to your neck if all of the straps on the bag aren't tight enough. I wish that this bag also had a waist strap. After wearing this all day I usually have soreness in my shoulders, too.

Yes, the chest strap is the only way to detect your heart rate. It works well with this watch. The first time I used it while on one of the treadmills at our fitness center, I noticed that the chest strap also automatically syncs wirelessly with the treadmill, which shows your heart rate on its display screen. Hope this is helpful!

Not a clear yes: It does have a strap to link the two shoulder straps, and that helps a bit when motorcycling or bicycling. However, the "chest" strap is high, right on my collarbones (clavicles) but below the throat.

Yes, and u r also able to take strap off if you want to. Honestly though, you don't need it: these things do NOT come out

The strap that goes around the chest has a buckle on both ends. just have the "back" side pre-buckled and then buckle the front side after you put the shoulder pack on. the size does not matter.

No, not at all. I really like this strap, it's very convenient for me. I can unclip the camera if I'm stationary, or if I'm walking around I use it with the strap. I highly recommend this strap.

I don't think it does need a chest strap. I haven't used it yet but it is like a wrist watch that you wear around your wrist. I did at one time have a rowing machine that required a chest strap that would tell your puslse rate. Hope this helps a little.Lana
