How large is the heart rate sensor? Can it be worn unnoticed under your clothes?

Obviously the answer depends on how tight your shirt is. When I work out I keep it under my base layer and you would never know I'm wearing it.

You have a strap that goes fully around you and the monitor is about 2x1" so it can go under clothing

You could wear it under loose clothes without being noticed. If wearing body hugging cloths may be able to see it. The strap is an elastic material, the sensor is about an inch and a half wide and about a third of an inch thick.

I believe that it can be worn under your shirt because i wear it below my blouse and i do not wear jackets. It is not bulky at all. I guess i can get away with wearing it because it can be passed off as a broad bra strap but i would recommend that guys wear an under shirt to mask the strap. I hope this helps

I wear it around my waist were it would be on my waist band if i had no shirt, some people wear it a bit higher, i do not recommend wearing it where it is only on skin, there always is slight movement while running aka chaffing!

Hi Debra, a great question!! The mechanism will NOT make noise as you are wearing it, UNLESS it dislodges or losens from the armband. However, it IS designed to emit a beep or series of beeps to ALERT you to something. 99% of the time, I don't even know I'm wearing it. I was self conscience at first about people knowing, but in the summer time when wearing a sleevless blouse it is pretty evident. It becomes a conversation piece, and I've noticed people are really interested in the concept. I hope you enjoy yours and reap the benefits of a fit body!! It REALLY DOES work!!!

6 and 1/2 inches, comfortably. I did get a rash under the strap on my wrist. I made the mistake of wearing it all day. I forgot to take it off. I would recommend you only wear it while working out.

You could, but probably shouldn't...I've been wearing it almost all day every day first week I bought it. Even at night sometimes. It was quiet interesting experiment to see how different activities affect heart rate (my heart rate drops below 60 when working with computers and steady 65 at night)By the 8th day I've noticed redness on my skin where the rubber contacts were touching and then it started itching. It makes sense: the skins doesn't breath there and strap traps salt from sweat.So now I cut down on wearing it only when I work out.

I find that the heart rate monitor works quite well. Sometimes it takes a little longer than normal because of it changing while I am working out, etc.And sometimes if I am super sweaty I have to wipe some sweat off first for it to work.

All chest HR monitors are sweat-resistant. In fact, they MUST be a little wet to work properly. But if you're looking for something to track your HR while swimming, this won't work.

They provide a separate heart rate monitor you have to wear. I haven't personally tried it.

Yes, my wife wears it while teaching spin & boot camp classes. She has even worn it while shoveling snow. The band is much smaller than the older heart rate monitor that she had. The watch is so lightweight that you forget you are wearing it.

Yes, provided the watch is set to measure heart rate. This means the chest belt has to be fastened around you and dampened.

the vest is slightly large to wear under clothing the weights are about an inch and a half thick i would imagine it to be like wearing a bullet proof vest if not 1 and a half times the size of a b.p.v. under clothing

If you are referring to the HR sensor that straps around your chest, Yes. You get an elastic chest strap and the sensor, which is attached using buttons. The watch communicates and collects the data from the sensor strapped to your chest.

It is about 12". I usually put it under his shirt, so he doesn't even notice it is on.

Yes. That is the device under the watch in the photo. I ware mine when I run the Peachtree. Run till I hit my max HR and then walk the HR down and then run it up again. Helps me listen to my body. Great inexpensive device.

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.

I'm sure you can wear it to get a measure of your calories burned throughout the day, but I believe this device is most accurate when used during your workouts. However there are other devices that can do this for you -- I recommend checking out the FitBit. :)
