will this heart rate monitor work for people over 400lbs?

If the chest strap can fit and the "watch" can fit on the wrist, it should work. You may need to make some adjustments, but you are headed in the right direction. This is a "best buy" in my book. Take care.

I'm not sure however It isn't very sensitive so if you are larger in the chest it won't pick up. That is pretty much what happened to me.

Size should not be a restriction. However I can not recommend this heart monitor, I returned mine after it failed to connect the monitor to the watch. Many of the reviews voice a similar issue. If you plan on using this as a heart monitor I would look elsewhere.

Dear Casey,I think so, I have even used a heart rate band from my old (broken) watch/monitor, and it works fine.

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

I think so cause the piece that clips onto the chest strap measures your heart rate. That's what helps it read your calorie burn more accurate.

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.

It is not "truly 100% accurate" but cose enough for most people's needs. A device that accurately measures your calorie burn is expensive and cumbersome and would need to measure more than just your heart rate.

Not sure. Try to check by taking actual pulse on wrist or machine at drug store. Have you set up your age and such? Mine was accurate but would lock up when I worked out.

Karen, The only thing it claimed to do was measure my pulse. It could only do that if I was sitting quietly. It would never register if I had been working out. It died the day after I got it.

Yes it measures your weight and balance. I don't think it won't work without it.

I apologize. I returned this item because it did not work in the way that I needed it to function - as a heart monitor. I was never able to get an accurate reading - or reading at all - while using the treadmill.

Yes it works with older Farm in HR monitors but just for heart rate data , additional statistical data is not available through the old one such as VO2 data, recovery data etc.

The manual says only those who weigh 250 lbs or less can safely use this treadmill. For your safety I would not recommend you try this one. I have no knowledge of other treadmills so can not guide you.

It is not a heart rate monitor per se. So, if you want to know if you are at 140 or 150 beats per minute, this is not for you. This product takes different measurements of your skin temperature and other data from an arm band and makes calculations to figure out how many calories you are burning. One of those factors might be your heart rate, but I'm not sure. By the way I had the blue tooth version of this and the one that connects to a monitor you wear like a watch. That version of this product is much better. It's more reliable and you can tell how many calories you are burning per minute. It is not a heart rate monitor per se.

It depends on what you mean by not exercising. It does monitor heart rate as low as 69 beats a minute. But I doubt if it will go down to a really low reading, I haven't tried that. It doesn't monitor sleep, which may be what you are trying to find out.

Yes the heart rate monitor only works when you touch the face, I would not recommend this watch for regular monitoring of the heart. It's designed for working out. I suppose if I felt my heart felt a bit irregular I might think to use this as a guide line or idea, but certainly would follow up with a true medical device or my doctor. I have been extremely satisfied with this watch for working out, but if I needed something to monitor my heart rate for medical purposes I would not use this watch. Hope this helps

I can't really answer that because I didn't wear it often. I didn't find it to be that user friendly so I went back to using my Polar watch w/ heart rate monitor. You may want to ask other purchasers and/or do a customer review search to get a better cross section of opininos.

Not that I know of but the heart rate will link with certain gym equipment. You can enter the data in a fitness app though.
