I see 2 round metallic sensors on back of the watch. Can the watch itself monitor your heart rate; without the separate heart monitor band?

As far as I know it cannot. If I remember correctly those were for monitor temp but I may be wrong. I could never get the GPS feature to work correctly so I did not pursue that too much. Not sure if this helps but I ended up returning mine as it was too cumbersome to work with.

No Diego. Those are for connecting the watch to your PC thru the cable. Good Luck!

I dont think so. When the band is not placed in the body ( chest) the watch cannot record the HR

No, it does not require a heart monitor. It tracks your calories by how much it estimates based on your movements. I think it is pretty good at sensing movements. Again, I have no problems with it other that you care barely read the screen. I wish the background was dark and the numbers were light.

I can't speak for other owners, but my personal experience wasn't favorable. The watch had great difficulty receiving the signal from the band encircling the chest. I found it necessary to constantly readjust the band, and even then a heart rate reading could only obtained infrequently. Currently I am looking into purchasing an all-in-one monitor that acquires the heart rate at the wrist; i.e., by the watch itself. Hope this helps.

The watch comes with a sensor and chest strap to monitor your heart rate, but you can choose to not wear the sensor and use it as a watch only if you wish. Cory is right; although the heart rate is accurately recorded, the calories burned is not. Don't rely on it for that.

Pebble itself does not have the ability to monitor heart rate. So you'll need a separate heart rate sensor. However, it can interface with apps that DO, like Runkeeper. So basically if you can get the heart rate info on your phone in some way, you should be able to get it on Pebble too with a third party app.

No heart rate monitor is required. It will read your heart rate while on your wrist. It also has a readout for calories burned, steps taken & mileage.

They provide a separate heart rate monitor you have to wear. I haven't personally tried it.

My watch came with a heart rate monitor (maybe as a bundle package) so I didn't have to pay for that but I do not have the foot pod but I also don't care about the data that the foot pod gives. The heart rate data was important for me to want know. If you are just wanting to track distance data (with the GPS), then you do not need the heart rate monitor either.

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.

I don't think so. I tried one of the other Polar HR monitors that didn't have the Nike+ symbol on it and the GPS watch would never pick up the signal. I only found the monitor online. The GPS watch is sold at many sporting good stores and BestBuy but apparently the heart rate monitor is difficult to find other than online. It works GREAT by the way- highly recommend it. It's nice to see your workout with pace/elevation/and heart rate all mapped in google maps.

No, the chest strap has an attached monitor that detects your heart beat/rate.

GPS function is built into the watch; nothing else to wear. If you want it to monitor your heart rate, then you have to wear the separate heart-rate strap.

Yes, one comes with the only the cadence sensor and not the heart rate sensor. The other comes with the heart rate sensor and not the cadence sensor. The last one comes with both the cadence and the heart rate sensors. Unfortunately, I cant real which part numbers goes with which item. All of these packages will accept each monitor. For example, if you buy the one with just the cadence sensor, you can purchase the heart rate sensor at a later time and it'll pair up to the cycle computer.

No, it does not. With a snug fit on your wrist, it uses your wrist's heartbeat for all heart rate features.

My watch did include a sensor. I had purchased a second one thinking it wouldn't. Note that if you have the app for your smart phone, the watch won't interface with it. I think this is the only draw back for this watch.

The heart rate monitor goes around your chest and the watch is worn on your wrist. You can just wear the watch w/o the chest strap but it won't monitor your heart rate or calculate your calories.
