To track heart rate, do you have to press your finger on the back of the device, or will it continously track it when wearing the wrist strap?

It requires removal from the wrist strap and placement on the wearer's finger. Hope this helps. It is a great product though.

You have to press your finger on the back of the device. It is not continuous.

You need to remove the device from the band and run the heart test with your finger. While doing this it also checks your oxygen levels.

Sorry for my delay in responding, but the operation of the Sport Tracker Heart Rate Monitor is great. The sync with the Android system is automatic. I have a Samsung S3 and a Nokia N8 (Symbian). I have used frequently in both systems without issue.

Yes you have to wear the strap around your chest to get a heart rate reading on the watch

No. No strap. You exercise, then put your finger on pad to get heart rate. Technically... you don't even need to wear it.

No. It calculates the estimate by skin temperature, movement, and some other things through the sensor. I use both armband and a polar hrm and they are pretty much the same for my activity. Sometimes the hrm will be moreand ssometimes it's less.

wear it on your arm and hold the silver bezel on the front of the watch. hold it for about 7-10 seconds as the black heart shaped icon blinks on the screen. It will either measure your heart rate or beep that it cannot.

Yes as a matter of fact sometimes after exercising I wind up leaving it on for a while just to measure my resting heart rate. It works fine

I wear it around my chest. The electro probes underneath the monitor picks up your heart rate, so I don't think it would calibrate with an arm pulse.

If you wear the heart rate monitor all day it does. Keep in mind it is a strap around your chest and it is not comfortable for extended uses. I only wear mine during workouts and it works very well.

No, unless I have missed something which I don't think I have. The heart rate moniter is just that. There is a palm contact type built into the handle grips that ok for a quick check or when you are using the lower handles ( which I rarely do)It comes with a wireless chest strap that has a readout on the screen but is not interactive with the resistance programming.I really like the machine, there are four of us using it on a regular basis.

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.

You have to wear to the heart strap detector to measure your heart rate and hence calculate the calories. I hope this helps.

If you mean like the new bracelets in the market that record your sleeping patterns, no it won't. If you mean will it read your bpm while you sleep, yes, most likely while running an app.

Yes it does if you enter the info about your personal heart rate in your set up mode. Hope this helps

You have to wear the heart monitor around your chest and it links up to the watch. Mine can link up with my smartphone but the watch cannot do heart rate by itself

You have to wear the chest strap for it to indicate your heart rate. I do not think this device would register calorie burn.
