I see people are using this for running and cycling. Is it accurate for p90x workouts as well?

I use it for spinning, aerobics, Zumba, everything I do in the gym. Can't be 100% sure how accurate it cause I have nothing to judge it against. Because it's measuring the beat through your chest it is certainly more accurate the using a watch version and measuring the BPM through your finger.

Sure. You would need to use a monitoring application. Such as DigiFit or Nike. I have been using my new upgrade for 5 months, rock solid performance.

Sorry. I have heard of T25, but not used it to exercise with. I love P90X3. It is quote vigorous and fast. It helped to have used P90X previously since many actions are advanced version of those on P 90 X.

I used it for anaerobic exercise. When it worked for two days it was accurate on the calorie count. The chest strap stopped working on both units that I purchased within two days.

Can you please tell me if is recommendable to use it for working out (Squats, Dead lift etc...)

I'm sure you can wear it to get a measure of your calories burned throughout the day, but I believe this device is most accurate when used during your workouts. However there are other devices that can do this for you -- I recommend checking out the FitBit. :)

Yes, in as much as the built in altimeter is accurate. This is old tech, newer companies offer better products an besides, much, much more importantly other companies may offer better support. From first hand experience, Fitbit customer service is atrocious, and that is very generous!!

I have only used for running and hiking. However, my understanding is that it would give you speed but not pace. there would be a settings change needed for this. Similar to the cycling mode.

Nope, I'm in same boat as you. I have the 400 and the white hand held and they are about 10% different. I eat pretty well and am in phase 3 of P90X so I'm inclined to believe the hand held which has me in my mid teens is more accurate than the 400 which has me near 28%. It really sucks that it is off that much.

Yes it can. I use it for that exact purpose. It isn't perfect, some of the exercises work better with dumbells, but it has been effective for me. I would recommend them for P90X.

I purchased this to use with P90X & it works great. Best I can tell it's the same thing they use in the video.

Yes it does. It goes on how fast your heart is beating and how long the workout was. I find it is pretty accurate. Just don't shake your hand while you are doing the pulse.

Being a former fitbit owner, I love, love, love this over the fitbit. It has sensors on the back and will track movement better (not sure about cycling) but I walked/ran a 5k a few weeks ago and it broke down the minutes I walked versus ran and gave stats on the sync. It is very accurate on the heart rate as I just had an cardio stress test and compared this at the doctor's office and it was right on (within 1 digit). I highly recommend this device and the features online to create "habits" to keep you motivated are fun too. I only wish it had an alarm to buzz you to remind you to do your habit....but overall for the $ it beats the fitbit hands down. Being a former fitbit owner, I love, love, love this over the fitbit.

Yes it came with a bunch of exersizes. I bought this for p90X though and haven't used the chart.

Anyone else tried hoist? I think I am going to buy them, they seem like the best choice for p90x, thoughts?

not sure you can. this watch is very basic and I only use it to measure my heart rate. I am a med student that understands the zones i should be in for each exercise/run so I just check to see but basically running you should be at 85% of your heart rate max which 220-age. so your aerobic zone is (.85x(220-age))

It bases power on heart rate with an algorithm so calibrating it won't make it more accurate Do google searches for more info about how it figured out power what it assumes about the workout they estimate that it is within 15% of a real power meter but it can be +/-

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.
