Does it track heart rate? And if so does it require a chest band to do so?

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

Yes, provided the watch is set to measure heart rate. This means the chest belt has to be fastened around you and dampened.

Yes. There is a chest strap to monitor your heart rate. A sensor for the crank to measure the cadence and a sensor for the wheel to measure the speed.

No heart rate monitor is required. It will read your heart rate while on your wrist. It tracks your calories by how much it estimates based on your movements. So even if you dont wear it, you will find estimated calorie burn in your watch. If you are looking for actual calorie burn while work out then this watch is not helpful. Also step counter is not accurate. It sense based upon the movement of your hand not step.

Yes the heart rate monitor only works when you touch the face, I would not recommend this watch for regular monitoring of the heart. It's designed for working out. I suppose if I felt my heart felt a bit irregular I might think to use this as a guide line or idea, but certainly would follow up with a true medical device or my doctor. I have been extremely satisfied with this watch for working out, but if I needed something to monitor my heart rate for medical purposes I would not use this watch. Hope this helps

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

Yes, it comes with chest band and sensor for speed. If you want cadence, make sure you order the 6.0 CAD model. The computer is capable of cadence but the cadence sensor only comes with the CAD model. I made this mistake and had to order the cadence sensor separately.

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.

It does have a pulse rate monitor, but you have access the back of the device - it has to be take out of the wrist band or clip holder to perform the function.

Yes it comes with the chest strap monitor. I have also found that, by accident, that monitor operates on the same transmission frequency, to the wrist display unit, that is used by Life Fitness treadmills. I get automatic heart rate display from our treadmill.

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.

Hi Edgar, this watch comes with a sender unit that fits on your chest and sends your Heart rate to your wristwatch, I bought this for my wife and I have the men's version of it which is a little bigger. Both work great!

It's an accurate watch but the heart rate monitor does not work without the chest strap.
