how quickly the heart rate is measured and does this function work well for more than one year?

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.

Hi, when at rest I can get a read in about 15 secs. While working out I've learned to wipe my hands before requesting a read. After that it takes about 45 secs.

Yes it does. Thats exactly what it was designed for. I recommend you go to your doctor and get a reading from his/her device, that way you'd be able to get an accurate reading from this machine.Strange enough that I also do have an irregular heartbeat many many years now (1997 or so) and the doctor ran some testing for over a 2 weeks period to see what was wrong. Finally he told me thats the way my heart beats. To this day I don't ever worry about it and it does not worry me, and I'm 55 yrs young and going strong ☺ ☻ ☼

USUALLY 1 YEAR. But my concern is the accuracy of my meter. I take a reading and it is 184 , I take a second reading rightaway and it is 132. I am looking for another type of meter. John F.

The book with it says it detects irregular heart beat. I havent used it much to run into that

I'v had mine about a year without any issues like you described. I have found I have to turn it on and let it warm up for about 15 to 20 minutes before it will give accurate readings.

Absolutely. You don't have to move arms to measure your heart rate. I had was with a transmitter - it wasn't functioning right & I sent it back.

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

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.

Yes it does, with day, date and last two digits of the year. I use it to measure heart beat at gym. I don't use the pedometer to measure how many miles I have run.

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.

it does monitor heart rate if you push and hold a button. I would not trust it to be completely waterproof. I am on my second LifeTrak, and with the first one, I trusted the claim of waterproof. It quit working after two months. LifeTrak customer service was great and replaced it, but I don't trust the new one to be completely waterproof.

Mine shows my heart rate over 100 most everyday. The oxygen count mine has shown no more than the 99%---but 100 is the most it could show. Check on it, but I think 99% is standard.

No. However, I have had 2 (different colors) for more than a year - both still measure pulse accurately whether sitting or working out. Occasionally, I have to allow it to reset, if I have checked my pulse often during a workout. Not a big deal. I have overall been very pleased with mine.

I have used the swimming function and used it to count strokes, track my distance, track my time, and to obtain my SWOLF--but I never used it to count laps because I like to count myself. As for the other metrics, it seems to count my stroke okay (stroke cycle--one hand, vs counting both hands), and of course the time of my swim. However, the distance is off by about 15-18%; I now adjust the pool size from the actual 25 yards to 22 yards and now get much more accurate distance. The watch is not the BEST as a dedicated swim watch, but does offer great overall functions, including swim, for the money, compared to everything else out there.

I have found it very accurate when compared against other devices like treadmill sensors which you hold on to and even when I compare to a blood pressure monitor.There is a little heart which flashes on the top right so if you hold your other hand to the pulse at your neck you can get confirmation that the heartbeat measured on the watch coincides with the actual heartbeat you are experiencing.

I use it for spinning, aerobics, Zumba, everything I do in the gym. Can't be 100% sure how accurate it cause I have nothing to judge it against. Because it's measuring the beat through your chest it is certainly more accurate the using a watch version and measuring the BPM through your finger.

1. The battery lasts about 6-8 months...if you use it regularly like I do.2. Lap memory? If you are asking if you can recall what laps you've done the previous day, I would say yes....as long as you do not reset your lap count. 3.The monitor will tell you if your pulse is out of the 'zones' that you set for your heart range. There are 5 zones; from the lowest pulse range you want to be notified (with a constant beep), to the highest range (also with a beep).
