I would like a device that accurately calibrates my pulse rate while I am using my treadmill. Does it change as my pulse rises and lowers?

I don't think this device is intended to be used during active exercise. It clamps gently on a fingertip and will give you pulse rate and oxygen level readings. There may be artifacts while you're moving and can easily be dislodged from the fingertip. You can use it intermittently when you pause or step off the treadmill. Comes with a cord to hang it around your neck for easy access.

It does, but I don't know how long it stays active, as I only use it about a minute at a time.There is a little lag time, but only seconds long.

You have to keep checking your heart rate. Mine no longer works and I have had it less then a year.

I'd like to know this, as well. I have a Note 3 and want something that will help track high/low/avg heart rates per workout.

As Steven said, it just logs the data. That allows you to check how your heart rate was changing while you were exercising.

No. it would only detect your RATE (heartrate) but not the tracing or "ekg" so NOT helpful. for example an athlete working out might have a normal rhythm or heart with 150 bpm rate. but a vtach rate might be 150. NO NO NO

It works well on the treadmill as it has a specific treadmill function. Yes you can calibrate

Yes it does work on the treadmill you just need to calibrate the watch. It works great.

Yes, if buy the heart monitor strap. It tells you if its too low or in range. If you sign up for Garmin connect it will create a graph for each workout so you can compare as well. I had to use all of this for a class.

Hi Frank, It doesn't use GPS. That is one thing I wish it did. So when you are on the treadmill you just have to swing the arm that the band is on. I have a friend that puts it on his ankle when he walks on his treadmill because he holds on with his arms. He says it is very accurate that way. I swing my arms and in my experience it is very accurate. Hope that helps. One more thing, you can change the mode to logging a workout. That way you get the benefit of a workout and it show your progress that way.

Yes, the device measures heart rate anytime on demand. The extra benefit to this device is you can set your target zone of heart beat so the monitor alerts you either when you are above or below that range.

No. The battery wouldn't last that long AND you would not get an accurate reading. I do not use this meter anymore because of the inaccuracies in the levels and pulse readings. I hope I helped you with your question.

I think the methodology it uses to track steps is not from the movement of your foot. It may be wrist action or something to that affect. I just got the foot pod, and I did notice that it is accurate if you are running on an indoor track, but not very accurate on a treadmill. It may be user error though. I'm going to have my husband re-look at it and make sure it's set up correctly.

Make sure the protective coverings have been removed. I wipe mine down with alcohol prep pads. A light grip gives the best accuracy is what I have found. I wear a heart monitor most of the time when working out and it is within 5-7 bpm on the high side in comparrison. I hope this helps. This is the best investment of health equipment I have ever bought. I did add 1" pedal extentions to bring my legs away from the center console which worked out great as well.

Yes it does. Thats exactly what it was designed for. I recommend you go to your doctor and get a reading from his/her device, that way you'd be able to get an accurate reading from this machine. Strange enough that I also do have an irregular heartbeat many many years now (1997 or so) and the doctor ran some testing for over a 2 weeks period to see what was wrong. Finally he told me thats the way my heart beats. To this day I don't ever worry about it and it does not worry me, and I'm 55 yrs young and going strong &#9786; &#9787; &#9788;

Also, read the other answers: this device DOES NOT offer continuous heart rate monitoring. I think the description is a little misleading about that. For me a deal breaker.

This product does not show your heart rate. There is an option for it if you sync it with a Garmin though. I don't have a Garmin, therefore I only use my Polar watch and band.

I work in healthcare and it is no different than what I would use to measure a patient's heart rate. It is a tad slower to register but if you actually use the sensor on your fingertip it is much faster, however in continuous monitoring mode during exercise it seems to work pretty close to the monitors we use in my clinic. I held out for a while for the Basis Band and honestly prefer the Gear Fit and Neo 2.
