I have found the machine is accurate but sometimes blood pressure fluctuates.I have another machine I test this unit in question.

I've used it for both activities, and it was pretty accurate. However, the battery life sucks....It died 2 months ago (I bought it in May 2014). Changed the battery, and it still doesn't work. But I have a Smart Health HRM without a chest strap (wrist only) and it had the EXACT same readings as the Polar.

I have not, but I think you may be disappointed with your results. My experiences continues to be that this devices is most accurate and reliable when your forearm is held in a position that keeps it parallel to the ground as when you are running or fast walking. When the forearm is held in another position its performance is highly suspect. I was sent a firmware upgrade in May of this year that helped a little but it still isn't ready for prime time in my opinion.

Heart monitor works as well as polar or any other monitors I have used. If you want to use "peak fitness" techniques, this is probably useful.

I lost my fitbit so I got the vivofit to replace. I chose it because you can display the time, which I liked. Different from fitbit:1. more displays (time, heart rate, steps etc)2. can sync with a heart rate monitor3. doesn't have to be charged (replace the battery in a year?) so no constant popping in and out.4. is fine in shower/tub5. red line of laziness is a good motivator 5. no alarm, no vibrations at all. 6. syncing with app/ computer much clunkier and hard to do.For my needs, Garmin way better, not going back though I found my fitbit !!

There is a significant difference in function between One and Flex. One measures steps, miles, floors climbed (stairs), calories burned (based on steps I think), and time of day. All of this is displayed on the front of the device at the press of a button. You can also monitor your sleep. You get an average of 7-10 days out of the battery: I charge mine once a week and it is usually not even down by 50%. Flex collects data on everything listed for One except it does not count floors (stairs) climbed. None of the data collected displays on the device; to access data you have to log in to your Fitbit account or download an app to your phone and pull it up and synch it. Flex has a battery life of approximately 5 days (I did get 7 out of mine once). Flex is supposed to be waterproof, or at least water resistant. I have not tested this so I don't konw what level of immersion it will tolerate; the times water has gotten between my wrist and the device it gets into the opening on the underside of the band where the data device sits and it doesn't dry out until you remove the device. In my personal experience Flex does not count steps as accurately as One, even if you do the stride length and is less accurate with non-running/walking activities such as bicycling. I also find Flex undercounts steps on the treadmill more than regular walking, regardless of whether or not you move your arm. I think the low rating of Flex is related to it being priced the same as One and Ultra but it does not offer the same features, level of technology, or accuracy. Each generation of Fitbit devices have shown improvement in features and technology until Flex. Flex actually has fewer features but is priced the same. I am sure there is a niche in the market for Flex but biggest bang for your buck is with One, and I say this as someone who has both.

I currently use a Polar H7 Bluetooth heart rate monitor when I cycle and seem to get very accurate readings on both. And that's running both the Wahoo Fitness app and a Digifit app at the same time. I'm not sure if there are any bad effects when using this with a ANT+ monitor though, as I've never tried an ANT+ hr monitor.

I have a Timex Ironman (Trashman would be a better moniker for this $90 disappointment!) that has NEVER given me reliable performance and has basically just quit after 17 months of unreliable service. I'm reading enough negative reviews on the Polar F11, which had otherwise sounded promising, to dismiss risking money on that product as well! While I have little or no use for GPS, the Garmin 305 is starting to sound to me like the accurate, reliable heart rate monitor I'm looking for based on further reading!

I have found it very accurate when compared against other devices like treadmill sensors which you hold on to and even when I compare to a blood pressure monitor.There is a little heart which flashes on the top right so if you hold your other hand to the pulse at your neck you can get confirmation that the heartbeat measured on the watch coincides with the actual heartbeat you are experiencing.

The fenix 2 pretty much does what the forerunner does plus more. For me, looks better than the Suunto Ambit 2, although they are pretty much the same watch. As a fitness watch garmin does a better job of cataloging your workouts and displaying in various formats. Paired with the HRM it's definitely the way to go.

Just go to you-tube and type in heart fit watch . monitor demonstration. Very simple to use... good luck.

I found that the transmitter belt from my Sole treadmill did work although the rate didn't change very frequently. It seemed more of a snapshot rather than continuous monitoring. The lack of info on the heart rate monitor function is rather appalling.

I use the app called digifit. I paid for all the upgrades...I think it was $8 and I don't know if I even use all those capabilities ! But that keeps track of heart rate and calories burned, I also have myfitnesstracker app and I can connect my calories burned into my daily food diary. It's really awesome all he stuff you can do. I love the Jarv!

Does this product measure the amount of time that elapses between heart beats?

I didn't know there was a choice with the Nonin Go2. I am more interested in accuracy. The Nonin Go2 is reliable and compares with the health provider's equipment readings.

yes similar, this calculator has better performance to enter in EIT exam test
