Does it measure and display your heart rate even if you wear it while not exercising? I'm wanting to monitor my heart rate for a health issue.

Only it indicates the beatings of the heart, when the band is in use in the chest. When the clock is in use only it does not indicate it. Bye

I've never used it as you describe, but it starts showing your heart rate once you place the band on your chest. You would need to wear watch and band.

No, just heart rate. It has a zone feature also keeps time when not used as monitor

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that question. I can tell you that this watch doesn't come with a heart rate monitor. I bought 2 of them. I'm not sure where Amazon got that picture from showing the watch with a monitor cord.

In order to monitor your heart rate you do. It's easier when you are working out than the ones that you have to stop what you are doing and touch the phone in multiple places and wait. But you do have to have both pieces and it isn't super comfy.

Of curse you have! Otherwise the watch won't be able to count your heart rate and calories burned. It's a must to wear it...

No in that it only displays info as it changes and is not recorded. I use it with my True treadmill to monitor my heart rate and allows treadmill to maintain desired heart rate during workout.

The device comes with a heart rate monitor included and it does give the max and average heart rates. The device actually gives quite a deal of information. Runners world, when they did a review of the previous model of this watch called it "The Data Miner." I mostly use it with a footpod so it gives pace, speed and distance etc.

I didn't know bike was in the title when I bought mine. It has nothing to do with biking. It is a heart rate monitor that consists of a chest band that you wear while exercising (very comfortable) and it relays your heart rate to a watch that you wear. It will tell you how many calories you've burned, your average heart rate, your maximum heart rate and how how long your heart rate was "in the zone". My guess is that the word bike was added to get the attention of bicyclists that want to track their heart rate while cycling. I love this monitor as it has no extra bells and whistles that I don't need which would make it more expensive and also more complicated to use.

I have only used mine for running. It shows your calories burned on the display, however the heart monitor is sold separately.

Yes it does integrate with the Health App, but Bluetooth is spotty at best for mine; so I have to enter it manually or use the Cardio app to measure heart rate.

I think that is how it actually measures calories loss is by heart rate, but since it downloads the data, it doesn't show you anything real time. The Bluetooth version might, but I'm not sure. Its an awesome unit ... love it.

When you are using it as a heart rate monitor it is in that mode (you have to push a button to get it there) all it does is monitor you heart rate. You just have to look at it. No recall needed. The chest strap communicates to the watch constantly.

Sorry, silly question. It's not a heart rate monitor.Just an activity tracker.http://forum.polar.fi/showthread.php?s=5080dad3b7bc0e2387ee6e1e9bc60fd6&t;=1634

Yes. No. Yes. No. Or I guess but what exactly "continuous heart monitoring" mean? Think about it. I mean really think about it.. Unlike most smart watches employ this heart heart tracking feature but not advertised as "continuous..." Not trying to be blunt but I couldve asked better questions than that.

This isn't meant to take readings while exercising. It won't take your HR while on your wrist. You'd have to take it off, activate the screen, keep tapping the toggle button until you reach the HR / Sleep mode screen, swipe to activate HR reader, hold the Pulse between your fingers gently (holding it firm causes reading to fail) and wait about 7 seconds. This process is easy for me and I have taken my reading while running but I don't see most people having the patience.

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.
