do you have to push a button to get a heart rate reading or is it continous .

Continuous. When the session is stopped, the data will show peak and average HR but during the workout the display constantly updates with the current HR.

The heart rate reading is continuous. You can also specify high and low readings of a zone and a tone will sound if you are above or below that zone. Also arrows indicate if you are above or below the zone. Note: It does take a few minutes, properly wetting the chest belt, to get it started.

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.

I do NOT use all of the fancy stuff like hi and lo alarms, I just put it on and watch my heart rate. It cant be any easier. It goes something like this. I wet the inside of the monitor so it gets a better read from my skin. Then i put the watch on. Then i press the red button on the lower right. then I read the numbers. It is just that easy. Enjoy.

You just keep moving it. Once you press the button on the side it wil pulse as long as you make contact. It's easy to operate! Hope this helps.

I have had occasion where I couldn't do a second heart rate reading within a minute of doing the first reading. What you are describing sounds like a problem the company needs to be aware of.

Just push the button on the watch once and it stays in the heart rate monitor mode.

No, you don't. I wear my Omron just like a watch. You place two fingers on the face and in a few seconds you have your heart rate. I love mine and it' accurate.

While the watch worked, I just pushed the button to view my heart rate. It seemed to match the levels on the machine.

If you keep it on your finger it provide constant monitoring. Don't need to push button.

The heart rate monitor is not constant. You must apply your fingers to the contact spot

the large silver "button" at the "6 o'clock" position on the face of the watch is the button you press down to see your heart rate. As long as the button is depressed, it shows your heart rate ongoing. How I use it: I flip into this really rapid heart rate quite often, especially if I'm doing even basic things - I want to see how high I get, but also how fast it comes down. As long as I'm pressing down the button, I can watch what is going on with my rate. I am a Cardiac Nurse and I love this watch - I recommend it to alot of my patients especially because you don't have to wear a chest strap like you do with other brands to get a heart rate reading. This one is really slick!!

No it does not have real time O2 monitoring. You have to take it off the wrist band and place it on your finger and press the button to start it. Now if your running and want to take a reading then you have to stop running slide it or of the holder then place it on your finger then press go for it to give you the reading for both pulse rate and O2 rate. Which is why I don't recommend the product and mine now sits in the back of the cupboard with the rest of the junk I have bought over the years.

Yes you have have to touch the button. I do not have 2 of these so I cannot tell you much about this particular function.

Yes. When in HR mode, current heart rate is displayed at all times until HR mode is cancelled/exited.

I work as a Registered Respiratory Therapist this device is a part of my everyday quick check for patient monitoring and assessment. To answer your question, no there is no button. When the device is placed on any finger or thumb it will automatically come on. The infrared located within the device picks up the pulse circulated through the blood and read an approximation of the individual actual oxygen saturation and heart rate. These reading can be + or - 2-5 off the normal ranges. These ranges depend on the individual disease process. For a more accurate result a arterial blood gas needs to be performed.

"No" to each question. When you place it on your finger, you press the little button on top and it stays lit up showing your pulse and pulse-ox for as long as you keep it on. It goes on like a clip clothespin, and there would be nothing to keep it on overnight except the little built in spring and no way of recording.
