Does it need to be paired to the phone to work? ie if I went out for a run with the HRM but without my phone, would it download the data to my phone?

You have to be paired to the phone for it to record data.. I bought an armband that holds the phone I listen to my music and my Pear coaches !!

No, it does not store any data on the device. It needs the phone paired with it to track heart rate.

I'm pretty sure it transmits real time via bluetooth. The chest strap doesn't have any storage capacity to transfer the workout stats once your done.

The problem is that you need the device to be capable of acquiring data from the transmiter in it's own frequency and I do not think that the iphone is able to do that without a special additional device. For example you have a app called sports tracker that has its own heart rate monitor, I do not know how it works gut there must be some way to catch the information from the heart rate monitor to the phone. For what I know is very probable that you should need some additional device to get the heart rate monitor frequency.

It says in the book it'll be paired with the last device you used and will automatically be paired to when you use the phones again. In answer to your question I dont think so. You might ask the manufacturer about that. I havent tried it myself. Im sorry I dont have a definitive answer for you.

From what I know about the app is that you need to Carry your phone with you when you run. With the watch you upload the data to Nike running. You can probably manually enter the data into your run keeper if you like that for tracking. But the bike website has a route map and such. I personally use the running2win app to track my mileage so it doesn't matter what type of gps watch I use when I run.

The watch needs to be paired with a phone over bluetooth to work and get data.It doesn't matter what network technology the phone uses, as long as the phone has a data connection to the telecom network and the internet.

It requires the app on the phone.. the device doesn't tell you anything unfortunately.

Actually it depends on the application that you are using. It basically connects to mobile through bluetooth and sends your heart beat.I use windows phone 8 and the only application that runs correctly is the run.gps (as far as I know). Last sunday I was running the half marathon of Rio de Janeiro and at the end it stops working - I check and there were much humidity on the contacts... I clean and it starts working again but I think the contacts should be a little more protected. Other than this, this device is very good. I do recomend.Samuel

The app and heart rate monitor works with SOME android phones, not all. The current list is available on their website, and includes current galaxy phones, HTC ONE, and a few others. It does NOT work with older android phones, including mine. The phone has to have current bluetooth technology and Android 4.3 or above.

What are u trying to do. The watch do sent do everything they say it dose. You can basically only talk on it or listen to the radio. To set it up to your phone you have to bluetooth it.

It works with the map my walk app even on iOS7 however, it is not reliable. I have to disconnect and reconnect during the workout often when it loses connection. I am looking for a more reliable HRM.

I'm not sure what video you are referring to, but: you need a smart phone in order to use the watch. Without a smart phone it won't do anything except for tell you what time it is. Setting the watch up wasn't super easy, but they have a website and they give you the step by step. In retrospect I would have just bought a heart rate belt that I could have linked with my iPhone - saved the money. As the watch can not run independently with the heart rate monitoring belt without a smart phone.

The watch itself won't be able to figure that. That would be up to the app that you have paired with it. If your app figures this information, is compatible with the watch, and offers a screen to display it, then it will. I know if you use the Wahoo Fitness app and a heart rate strap it will figure that information and display it for you.

The only thing that it can do on its own is tell time (you still need to sync it once though). Everything else you will need to be close and connected to the phone.

I don't believe so. I have an s5 as well and when I scan for bt devices the hrm doesn't show up.

I have not had any trouble, I followed the instructions it came with, to pair it with my phone worked perfectly.

Yes, I've used it with the Endomondo app for a few months. Then he HRM started giving erratic rate readings, before it died altogether. I replaced the battery 3 times and attempted re-synced to no avail. Couldn't not get a reliable/constant reading. My Polar fitness is a bit flakey too, but it's way more consistent than this cheap Jarv HRM unit.

In order for the calling/messaging/email to work, you have to be within I believe 35 feet of the phone. Otherwise, the pedometer, exercise tracker, music player, heart rate monitor all work without the phone. It connects through Bluetooth for the rest of it so I guess it depends on what you're wanting to do.
