when it says continuous heart monitoring , does it show HR non stop while working out ?

Yes it does, but in my case it just was not accurate for me. Maybe my wrist are too thin or something? I have a second one but it's not strapless, however my strapped monitor is very accurate.Hope that helps.

Yes - once you start it, it does not stop until you turn it off or take it off--A real plus to this is if you put the App on your smartphone it can record your HR showing every second, good data if you run a lot or work out really hard-

Yes. When in HR mode, current heart rate is displayed at all times until HR mode is cancelled/exited.
1653213
Yes - it shows continuously. With the watch on your wrist, you push the HR button on the RHS, it says FIND on the screen and then the HR is picked up and displayed in large font (as per the marketing pictures). It is easy to see whilst working out and responds to changes quickly. Hope this helps. Craig

Yes, it is like starting a stop watch/timer. Once you click to begin the workout, your heartrate is continously monitored until you stop the tracking by ending the workout on the watch. This is much better than any other heart rate tracker, and I compared results from the MIO to a standard heart monitoring device with a chest strap. The results was almost identical. Calories burned is slightly off from other devices.

Yes. No. Yes. No. Or I guess but what exactly "continuous heart monitoring" mean? Think about it. I mean really think about it.. Unlike most smart watches employ this heart heart tracking feature but not advertised as "continuous..." Not trying to be blunt but I couldve asked better questions than that.

Only if u are setting it to keep track. You would have to also periodically check your pulse for a reading. This is strictly used for when you are exercising

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.

No, but it shows all the numbers very clearly as shown. This is the best product which I am using. If you have money you can try what ever you want to buy with high technology like showing heart rate etc but if you don't have money like me and if you want some decent product you should buy this.

It DOES show calories burned. The two people below are wrong. After you completed the workout you get a summary of how long the work was, how long you were in the "zone" (set up by you), avg hr, max hr, calories burned. I had this watch for about 4 years now.

If you mean that it indicated that your maximum heart rate during a workout was 215, occasionally you get a glitch like that. It doesn't mean anything

The device comes with a heart rate monitor included and it does give the max and average heart rates. The device actually gives quite a deal of information. Runners world, when they did a review of the previous model of this watch called it "The Data Miner." I mostly use it with a footpod so it gives pace, speed and distance etc.

No. I went on a run and half way through I checked my count and it was still 0. It is more how much you thrash your arm around, which is counted. I use this more to keep track of my heartbeat during workouts. I wouldn't recommend this one.

Yes as a matter of fact sometimes after exercising I wind up leaving it on for a while just to measure my resting heart rate. It works fine

Yes, the chest strap is the only way to detect your heart rate. It works well with this watch. The first time I used it while on one of the treadmills at our fitness center, I noticed that the chest strap also automatically syncs wirelessly with the treadmill, which shows your heart rate on its display screen. Hope this is helpful!

Hi, I believe calories are only displayed after you have finished training. During training, time is displayed as well as heart rate. Heart rate is on a linear scale with designations for fat burning levels and maximum heart rate level. I also use Cardio Trainer (app) on my smartphone when I run or bike outside. And I use My Fitness Pal (app) as well (after workouts) to track things like calories, exercise. Hope that helps. Kathy

You can program it either way when you do your HR set up. Its easier for run/bike to use percents if you want to stay in a zone, and it has zone alarms. I wear the watch in the pool but not the heart rate monitor. It will take time to get used to the watch and its functions, but read and re read the instructions. You will be fine. My only issue with it is the intervals. But otherwise like the watch.

Most of my workouts are on stationary or road bikes and in the gym. Without the heart rate monitor, these workouts don't really count. It's best to get the monitor, unless you are moving a lot on non-stationary objects.

The watch has two stop watch / chromo functions for timing your workouts. I have been disappointed with the heart rate function

It takes not more than five seconds to show your heart rate. I have tested under different condition at different times and it gives good result. I am regularly using it for last few months and feel satisfied.

Not really because the watch is primarily meant to monitor distance covered in a specific period of time with the additional heart monitor which is paired with the watch. What I'm trying to say is that there is nothing wrong in using it for non-running cardio workouts, but if you do, you ignore other functions this product offers and therefore should maybe look for a different solution.

Yes it does. It goes on how fast your heart is beating and how long the workout was. I find it is pretty accurate. Just don't shake your hand while you are doing the pulse.
