does this allow you to review the way your heart rate goes up and down during your exercise or does it just tell you the lowest and highest rate?

No, it doesn't offer this feature - there's no way to get a printout or anything. That's a really cool idea, but I've never heard of a portable HRM that will do that.

I could not get my Timex to relyably communicate between its components. As a result I have no idea how to answer your question except to say that it kept accurate time - period. Trashed it. Seller learned of dissatisfaction, replaced it with a MIO, no cumbersome chest strap required, works great.

It gives a continuous reading of your heart rate. You can see the rate change as your exertion go up or down.

It tells you for the workout you are doing but its pretty basic. Dont really need a new monitor. I would just recommend getting u a nice heart monitor. They are much more accurate then the things on the machine.

I don't think so. Whenever I use the pulse monitor to check my heart rate it gives me a ridiculous number like 93 in the middle of a cardio workout. When I use the exercise function it gives you a calorie burn number that sounds reasonable but there is no way to know if it is accurate because it is based on settings in the watch that are supposed to be described in a manual that I never received. I think it was a waste of money

yes it does. you can show both range. in bpm or percentage, wherever you want. actual rate with or without sound. statistic for bpm or % like a average, peak max or peak min in a loop

Yes. But I'll answer this in a little more detail. It will show your HR continuously. Press (hold for 3 secs) the button below it and it will say START. It will then show the HR continuously until you press the bottom button (hold for 3 secs) again to STOP. Once stopped, you can clear it by pressing and holding the lower button on the right side and it will say Clear in 3, 2, 1. Then it will all return to zero. It will periodically tell you when the HR is within zone or outside of zone. The message appears in the center HR area but then disappears returning to the HR. But does not show zone continuously. It would be nice if it would give a little tone or something to let u know when the in/out of zone appears. But you have to look at the watch a lot to catch it. I don't use this feature tho. If you calculate your hi/low HR zone, all you need do is check the HR periodically. You can see for yourself if HR is out of zone. And if it is out of zone, how much. Sometimes out of zone may be only a few heart beats. In which case you know how much you need to slow down or speed up. But really, if you are monitoring your HR you can see when you are getting close to being out of zone and slow down before you go over the line. Don't need a continuous HR zone alert then. Hope this helps.

Yes it has a read out and also tells you if you are in acceptable range. Also shows pulse. Love this machine

No. This is one of the best aspects of this program. They thought of everything and take care of you. The leader alerts you that you have X amount of seconds left before the segment ends and to really push it. Then everyone stops. He tells you to find your pulse and and to start counting. He then tells you when to stop. You write the number down and compare it to the last count. No need for any heart monitor or anything. They practice in the beginning of the entire program on how to take your pulse. The only time I see you pausing the program is if your heart rate did not recover enough to go on. But, if that happens, it means you are pushing too hard and need to pull back. No. This is one of the best aspects of this program. They thought of everything and take care of you.

If you use a heart rate monitor such as a strap used around the chest or if you have exercise equipment that has built in pada on the handlebars. This product will create and send a fast electrical link with your equipment to let you see your heart rate progress during workout. A little goes a long way and works whether on your hand, if you equipment comes so equipped or on a chest strap

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.

Based on my tests with equipment in the gym, it typically mirrors what the sensor on the gym equipment tells me. One thing to note, it does, on occasion, just drop your heart rate in half for 30 seconds to a minute and then finds its way back.
1173374
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.

Yes, you have to go where the mode button is. After pushing the mode button, just keep pushing until you get to the amount of minutes you have worked out. Basically, the seconds are included with your heart rate. I hope this helps out!

It uses a chest strap and an attached sensor to measure your heart rate. You input height, weight age and sex and it helps compute an accurate calorie count for an exercise session.

The short answer is - YES. The long answer, you can actually configure it to show many things while you are doing your physical activities, for example your average heart rate, how long you've been performing the activity etc. You should check out the videos in YouTube that shows you how to use it, very helpful in teaching you learn how to use this heart rate monitor.

It does show low and high heart rate.I think it does alarm when you exceed I have it turned off

It doesn't show minimum. It shows your time active, average, and peak.You press and hold the middle grey button till it says HOLD FOR INFO. Release the button when you see "activity". (how long you had the heart rate monitor running) Press again for avg bpm, and again for peak bpm.

Yes, it clearly speaks both along with your pulse rate. Also, when you press the large button to begin the test it will verbally read out some instructions that could be kind of important. You can override those instructions by pressing the same button again so you don't have to listen to them if you don't want to.
