Does this do continuous heart rate monitoring? How fast is the screen refresh rate?

Yes it does, it comes with a chest strap. I believe it refreshes every 5 seconds

I'm not having any trouble with my Smarthealth watch. I check my pulse about 4 times a day to make sure I'm still alive. Actually, checking your heart rate often helps your watch calibrate and customize its other functions specifically for YOU.I love this thing.

This product does not show your heart rate. There is an option for it if you sync it with a Garmin though. I don't have a Garmin, therefore I only use my Polar watch and band.

I had the same question myself. I received both the heart monitor and speed/cadence sensor as a gift, so I kept both. The only thing I noticed is that the speed sensor captures speed right away and accurately while gps speed sensor lags on occasions

I really don't pay much attention to that. I watch the heart rate and I don't always get accurate readings with it so I'm not real impressed with it sorry I couldn't be more help

no, but you have to touch it all the time in order to work. Sometimes it does´t read the HR. It´s an ok HR monitor, but not the best by far.

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 have only used mine for running. It shows your calories burned on the display, however the heart monitor is sold separately.

No, it does not require a heart monitor. It tracks your calories by how much it estimates based on your movements. I think it is pretty good at sensing movements. Again, I have no problems with it other that you care barely read the screen. I wish the background was dark and the numbers were light.

No heart rate monitor is required. It will read your heart rate while on your wrist. It also has a readout for calories burned, steps taken & mileage.

No, it stores min, max, average heart rate and calories burned (and percentage of fat) but there's no way to transfer that to a computer. Still a great heart rate monitor.

I am running two screens off of PC which refresh fine. I added this hub to support my security monitoring. It does work, but runs 60-90 seconds behind on refresh 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

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.

O.k thank you it need a watch to check my resting heart rate every now in then, would you say this is a good option?

Yes. But I'll answer this in a little more detail. It will show your HR continuously. Press (hold for 3 secs) the button below it and it will say START. It will then show the HR continuously until you press the bottom button (hold for 3 secs) again to STOP. Once stopped, you can clear it by pressing and holding the lower button on the right side and it will say Clear in 3, 2, 1. Then it will all return to zero. It will periodically tell you when the HR is within zone or outside of zone. The message appears in the center HR area but then disappears returning to the HR. But does not show zone continuously. It would be nice if it would give a little tone or something to let u know when the in/out of zone appears. But you have to look at the watch a lot to catch it. I don't use this feature tho. If you calculate your hi/low HR zone, all you need do is check the HR periodically. You can see for yourself if HR is out of zone. And if it is out of zone, how much. Sometimes out of zone may be only a few heart beats. In which case you know how much you need to slow down or speed up. But really, if you are monitoring your HR you can see when you are getting close to being out of zone and slow down before you go over the line. Don't need a continuous HR zone alert then. Hope this helps.
