Does it have alarms/alerts/warnings when your heart rate goes above a preset rate?

Depending on the program you sink it to, it can. The HRM itself does nothing but send information.

Hi. I'm the HRM itself doesn't but the application you use should. Such as Endomundo or Sports Tracker.
1881092
Not on its own. You will need to link it to an application that has have these options.
1881093
I'm not sure. I use the Endomondo app with this product and I haven't seen a setting for it. I would think any alarm/alerts/warnings would be app specific and not necessarily a feature of this product.

This HR Sensor provides the data to your device (such as your smart phone). It is up to the application that you are using on your phone (and/or device). Some applications do have the setting to alert you when your heart rate is above specific rate and some do.

No, your application would have to provide those features. As far as I know, it only sends heart rate and battery status to the paired device.

Actually it depends on the application that you are using. It basically connects to mobile through bluetooth and sends your heart beat.I use windows phone 8 and the only application that runs correctly is the run.gps (as far as I know). Last sunday I was running the half marathon of Rio de Janeiro and at the end it stops working - I check and there were much humidity on the contacts... I clean and it starts working again but I think the contacts should be a little more protected. Other than this, this device is very good. I do recomend.Samuel

Yes it has a read out and also tells you if you are in acceptable range. Also shows pulse. Love this machine

Also, read the other answers: this device DOES NOT offer continuous heart rate monitoring. I think the description is a little misleading about that. For me a deal breaker.

Yes. You select which zone you want to be in, 1, 2, or 3 and it beeps if you are out of that zone either heart rate is too low or too high.

Yes, it detects irregular heartbeat. The one thing that this model doesn't do, that my prior device did, was record date and time, for historical purposes.

yes, it has an alarm. you can go the menu/organiser. it is on top of the list.

No, the chest strap has an attached monitor that detects your heart beat/rate.

No, there is no alarm...you just have monitor frequently. Check with your doctor to determine what constitutes "too low" for you...it varies depending on the persons' lung function.

yes it does. you can show both range. in bpm or percentage, wherever you want. actual rate with or without sound. statistic for bpm or % like a average, peak max or peak min in a loop

I don't know if it gives an audible warning as I always turn the audio off. I find it annoying. I have my 720 set to give a visual alarm at 5mph over the limit. It appears on the left edge of the display. It displays the speed limit and your speed below the limit. With a few exceptions the actual speed limit and the GPS displayed limit agree. Never trust any GPS 100%.

Yes, the device measures heart rate anytime on demand. The extra benefit to this device is you can set your target zone of heart beat so the monitor alerts you either when you are above or below that range.

I use this heart monitor but not with the app suggested. It will work with multiple apps so I'm sure there is probably one that will alert you to a specific heart rate. I use mapmyfitness.

I set my heart rate range and it beeps when I am not in that range, I don't remember how I did it though, the instructions were a bit confusing at first and now it's just set to go.

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 ☺ ☻ ☼

No, there isn't any type of alarm features on the Pulse unfortunately, I usually forget to turn it off in the morning too. That would be great if they included an alarm setting.

No. You have to place the index and middle fingers on the sensors that are next to the watch display. In a few seconds it will show the value of your heartbeat and the percentage relative to the maximum for your age.

According to the documentation it will detect an irregular heartbeat and will give an indication; a pulsating heart. Great question. Best of luck.
