Does the chestband work with other gym equipment to measure heart rate?

Hi Keith - this chestband does not but the Runtastic Heart Rate Combo Monitor does.

Just went down to check my bike to refresh my memory. There is 1 sensor unit you install on your bike. It houses 2 sensors inside (1 for the magnet you put on your pedal for cadence, and 1 for the magnet you put on your back tire for speed). Then of course there is the heart rate band you put around your chest.Please let me know if you have any further questions.Thanks!

To my knowledge this sensor only works with the Timex brand devices. My husband uses it with his Ironman watch. It does work with gym equipment as far as calculating your heart rate & calories, etc.

Yes it does integrate with the Health App, but Bluetooth is spotty at best for mine; so I have to enter it manually or use the Cardio app to measure heart rate.

This item is just an elastic strap. It is meant to be attached to a HR sensor that you already possess. It holds the sensor in place on your chest. Whether or not the machines in the gym will pick up the HR from you sensor depends on 1) whether the gym machines are equipped to pick up a signal from an HR sensor and 2) whether or not the gym machine, if so equipped, is compatible with the signal that your sensor is emitting. The most commonly supported signal is called ANT+. If the machine and your sensor are compatible, yes is should pick it up. If not, it won't. Best to check with your gym for capabilities of their machines, compatible HR sensors and sync procedure.

Mine did but you should always check "what's in the box". You can also use the Polar Beat App for smart phones and it will also transfer data to Polar Personal Trainer. If you go that route, be sure to get the chest strap with the Bluetooth HRM.

Yes! It measures your heart rate doing various activities. There is a strap that you wear under your clothes that sends a signal to your watch.

Yes, the Ambit2 S HR comes with a chest strap for monitoring heart rate. Claire | Gear Co-op

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

No you dont have to wear chest band and the gps watch will monitor the other running datas.Moreover, you dont have to buy the chest band and gps watch pair together.Only gps watch is sold solely.

I use a Timex T5K541 Personal Trainer HR monitor and it works great. In general, the older model wireless heart rate monitors work with this unit because they use lower frequencies. The newer monitors are running at higher frequencies which means they should have fewer issues with signal interference but they won't work with this Oregon Scientific unit.

Yes it does. Almost anything anyway, as long as you have a heart rate monitor strap. I even used it whilst sleeping to see how low my HR would go!

I found that the transmitter belt from my Sole treadmill did work although the rate didn't change very frequently. It seemed more of a snapshot rather than continuous monitoring. The lack of info on the heart rate monitor function is rather appalling.

Yes. I have used it with older garmin heart rate monitors and it works fine. When you add an accessory there is a menu choice to scan for the new accessory and it will be added at that time.

Yes. The chest strap monitors your heart rate and that is how it calculates calories.

I don't believe it does, I bought it just for the heart monitor when working out.

Yes, you have to use the chest strap to read your heart rate. It calculates everything (calories burned, etc.) from you heart rate.
