Hi, Polar loop needs the heart sensor to measure your heart rate.It cannot do it by itself.It does count steps and estimated calories (proximate) based on the initial data you set and the counted steps.Using the heart sensor allows the loop to make a better calories estimation.

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.

The device is a watch not a phone and it will give you a heart rate by pushing and holding the correct button. It also gives you calories, steps and miles, one at a time by scrolling through the options. It does not connect to another device.

It does count calories, steps and miles walked. I'm still getting used to all functions. I'm going to do accuracy check with a friends monitor to see how close readouts are. Hope this helps. I don't regret the purchase.

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.

I'm not aware that it will track calories burned, however, it is a great heart rate watch.

You'll need to wear the chest strap for the Vivo to read heart rate. It does save the data as you exercise and it is neat to see the graph of your work-out afterwards.

it tells your steps,miles @ calories but you don't put a stride in it does it automatically

It does. Provided you use this with a Heart Rate Monitor. You might want to consider the Multisport cardio which has a built in HRM.

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

It will count it as steps but it also picks up rigorous activities. You will have to sync it with your computer in order to view your stats. I love mine! I have it synced with myfitnesspal app. It keeps track of steps, calories burned, water in take, calorie intake, sleep, and you can set timers to remind you to move. It really is a great product. Only thing I don't like is that the hot pink doesn't stay hot pink long. I've had mine 2 weeks and already buying a black band because the pink looks dirty and I can't get it cleaned.

Yes it does. It goes on how fast your heart is beating and how long the workout was. I find it is pretty accurate. Just don't shake your hand while you are doing the pulse.

I used it for anaerobic exercise. When it worked for two days it was accurate on the calorie count. The chest strap stopped working on both units that I purchased within two days.

No. I went on a run and half way through I checked my count and it was still 0. It is more how much you thrash your arm around, which is counted. I use this more to keep track of my heartbeat during workouts. I wouldn't recommend this one.

No, it does not count calories. It acts as a stopwatch and counts your heart rate.

Yes...and no. It counts Kcals for steps (running or walking) taken...so if you are on...say a rowing machine, the count will be off.

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.

Mine does count steps.. isn't that what a pedometer does. ? Haha or at least I assumed that was my steps it's counting ! lol.. I basically needed the watch for the heart rate monitor. Really all I can comment on is how accurate and good it is for that! :)
