No, it does not. With a snug fit on your wrist, it uses your wrist's heartbeat for all heart rate features.

The watch comes with a sensor and chest strap to monitor your heart rate, but you can choose to not wear the sensor and use it as a watch only if you wish. Cory is right; although the heart rate is accurately recorded, the calories burned is not. Don't rely on it for that.

The heart rate monitor goes around your chest and the watch is worn on your wrist. You can just wear the watch w/o the chest strap but it won't monitor your heart rate or calculate your calories.

Strap goes on your chest ( below sternum ) & watch on wrist. Strap gives data to watch, which in turn will record heart rate data. Watch will display heart rate , calories burnt etc.

You can do any excercise with it. Having said that, it will only tell you how many calories you've burned and what your heart rate it. There is not a function that will tell you how many stairs you've climbed or what pace you're climbing them.

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

Nope. It counts your steps without a foot pod. In addition, it keeps track of your calories and reminds you to move when you've been idle for too long.

Yes it does. I just got mine going 2 weeks ago. I like it. It is several programs or you can ride manually. It does track calories, has a timer, a pulse rate monitor and can be used to give a recovery report based on pulse. The calorie counter is the 3rd number from the bottom in the functions it is monitoring. My calories counter always runs when in use in the manual mode and I assume always.

Yes. Calories burned are calculated based on your heart rate, so you must wear the chest strap to count them.

This model does not include the heart rate monitor and strap. They do have a model that does, but this model is only the watch.

It works without the heart rate monitor strap, but it will make a significant difference in accuracy if you do have one. I wear mine with just the loop bracelet and put on the chest strap for workouts and heavy activity. This is the best combo, and why I purchased it in the first place.

It does count calories, steps and miles walked. I'm still getting used to all functions. I'm going to do accuracy check with a friends monitor to see how close readouts are. Hope this helps. I don't regret the purchase.

Yes; the chest strap is the only way this watch can monitor your heart rate and calories. Without it, it's just a watch with functions you can't use

It will count it as steps but it also picks up rigorous activities. You will have to sync it with your computer in order to view your stats. I love mine! I have it synced with myfitnesspal app. It keeps track of steps, calories burned, water in take, calorie intake, sleep, and you can set timers to remind you to move. It really is a great product. Only thing I don't like is that the hot pink doesn't stay hot pink long. I've had mine 2 weeks and already buying a black band because the pink looks dirty and I can't get it cleaned.

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.
