Will machines in the gym pick up the heart rate with this strap?
303466
This item is just an elastic strap. It is meant to be attached to a HR sensor that you already possess. It holds the sensor in place on your chest. Whether or not the machines in the gym will pick up the HR from you sensor depends on 1) whether the gym machines are equipped to pick up a signal from an HR sensor and 2) whether or not the gym machine, if so equipped, is compatible with the signal that your sensor is emitting. The most commonly supported signal is called ANT+. If the machine and your sensor are compatible, yes is should pick it up. If not, it won't. Best to check with your gym for capabilities of their machines, compatible HR sensors and sync procedure. This item is just an elastic strap.

only if it's an ANT system on the same frequency as the strap. you need to ask the gym people what is there system compatible with.

I think so cause the piece that clips onto the chest strap measures your heart rate. That's what helps it read your calorie burn more accurate.

Dear Casey,I think so, I have even used a heart rate band from my old (broken) watch/monitor, and it works fine.

When I have used it with the machines at my gym it seems to be fairly accurate at tracking my heart rate. It is as accurate as an average digital watch.

not to my knowledge it doesn't........I would say this is more of a cardio machine than a strength training machine.........

It can display heart rate*, which is information used in fitness testing. But, it wasn't designed for fitness testing. I suggest you contact a fitness testing specialist for more information. *Display of heart rate requires the optional heart rate monitor chest strap.Garmin has a disclaimer on their website: http://www.garmin.com/en-US/legal/atdisclaimer

Negative. The watch already has a heart rate monitor. You can display real time info when using the exercise function.

I find that the heart rate monitor works quite well. Sometimes it takes a little longer than normal because of it changing while I am working out, etc.And sometimes if I am super sweaty I have to wipe some sweat off first for it to work.

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.

If you wear the heart rate monitor all day it does. Keep in mind it is a strap around your chest and it is not comfortable for extended uses. I only wear mine during workouts and it works very well.

Depends on your usage. If the heart rate monitor is left on the strap, it keep working/depleting the battery.

Yes as a matter of fact sometimes after exercising I wind up leaving it on for a while just to measure my resting heart rate. It works fine

I use it on a gazelle elliptical using one of the run walk interval training programs. Works great. It gauges your heart rate to measure your effort and workout calories.

I would say yes because the monitor is tracking your heart rate. While weightlifting your heart rate will increase. The watch is just for display only, you have to use the chest strap provided. I would contact Polar if you would like to know for sure if this will work for you. 1-800-227-1314 or customer.service.usa@polar.com

It gets the heart rate from your having both hands on the metal plates embedded in the handles. I don't see how a chest strap could be attached to the handles' metal plates.

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