Does it allow you to set a low &amp; high heart rate &amp; does it inform you via sound when you have exceeded your high heart rate?

No, this just monitor you Heart Variable Rate and Heart Beat, but have a pacer for the breathing for my is better than just the breathing

It records your average heart rate and your peak heart rate. There is no signal for out of range.

It can display heart rate*, which is information used in fitness testing. But, it wasn't designed for fitness testing. I suggest you contact a fitness testing specialist for more information. *Display of heart rate requires the optional heart rate monitor chest strap.Garmin has a disclaimer on their website: http://www.garmin.com/en-US/legal/atdisclaimer

Yes. This watch can be set to beep if your heart rate is too fast or slow. Does not beep when you are in your zone.

As Steven said, it just logs the data. That allows you to check how your heart rate was changing while you were exercising.

I have never used that option. You can bypass the range mode and use the tracking mode which keeps suggesting the heart rate goal monitoring. When you get your heart rate (for example) to a suggested rate of 118 it will up the goal to 126. Then when you reach 126, it will up the goal to 132. I stopped mine at that point before my heart started pounding out of my chest and switched it to a steady constant heart rate readout. It works very well as a no frails heart monitor.

I used the Bluetooth to connect for heart rate in cyclometer. It worked fine in the past. I just upgraded to cyclemeter elite a few minutes ago and I can't seem to get my heart rate to show up. I'll keep working on it and let u know.

You have to keep checking your heart rate. Mine no longer works and I have had it less then a year.

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. When in HR mode, current heart rate is displayed at all times until HR mode is cancelled/exited.

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.

Yes, the chest strap is the only way to detect your heart rate. It works well with this watch. The first time I used it while on one of the treadmills at our fitness center, I noticed that the chest strap also automatically syncs wirelessly with the treadmill, which shows your heart rate on its display screen. Hope this is helpful!

it does monitor heart rate if you push and hold a button. I would not trust it to be completely waterproof. I am on my second LifeTrak, and with the first one, I trusted the claim of waterproof. It quit working after two months. LifeTrak customer service was great and replaced it, but I don't trust the new one to be completely waterproof.

The heart rate reading is continuous. You can also specify high and low readings of a zone and a tone will sound if you are above or below that zone. Also arrows indicate if you are above or below the zone. Note: It does take a few minutes, properly wetting the chest belt, to get it started.

No. it would only detect your RATE (heartrate) but not the tracing or "ekg" so NOT helpful. for example an athlete working out might have a normal rhythm or heart with 150 bpm rate. but a vtach rate might be 150. NO NO NO
