It gets the heart rate from your having both hands on the metal plates embedded in the handles. I don't see how a chest strap could be attached to the handles' metal plates.

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.

Do not worry ! It works very well. I use it every day during exercise, it perfectly comes with the chest strap heart rate.

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

From my reading of the manual I believe the foot pedals are fixed. There is an optional wireless chest-strap heart monitor available from their website; I believe it's about $35. I haven't received my machine yet (ordered it Jan 4 during the Gold Box deal), so can't comment on it yet.

any polar compatible or analog heart rate strap should work. Digital or coded straps will not work. I currently have the sigma strap, and also a dual coded (analog and digital) suunto strap. I have also used a polar in the past

The strap is a sensor--it has everything to detect your heart rate--but you of course have to buy the display unit. It'll work with a Garmin or other ANT device.

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

The treadmill comes with a chest strap that monitors heart rate and transmits it via a built in blue tooth connection to the screen on the treadmill.

Hi, there are (3) sensors that come with the unit, one is a strap you attach to your chest for heart rate, one to your front fork for speed, and one on to your chain stay (near your crank) for cadence

i do not think so. forerunner has "ANT" and sigma does not. i have both and the sigma chest strap does not register on the forerunner when i tried it for giggles. the polar (non-coded) and sigma chest straps register to each monitor, though. cheers.

I don't even see where a chest strap would plug in. I do see that reference in my manual, but you might want to call Schwinn to verify this. (Page 19 talks about "Remote Operating Controls will not work" and I don't know what they're talking about, as it didn't come with a remote control - so I'm wondering if some of these notes don't really apply to the 420 model.)

Strap will work with anything that is ant+. Using this heartrate strap with a garmin 510 and also with a Wahoo Kickr.

Hello Mr. Pinto. No, the monitor wiill not work without the chest strap. The chest strap has to be fitted farily tightly around your chest and the strap and the electrode should also be moistened. This improves the performance of the monitor. Also, the strap and electrode should be cleaned as per the supplied instructions and stored separately after use. Hope this answers your question. Good luck.

Yes but hrm can be used but chest strap comes off when doing turns. Gps is not suggested to use but could be put in cap.

The chest strap is sold separately. I had one from my old Garmin 305 that works great.

You have to wear the chest strap for it to indicate your heart rate. I do not think this device would register calorie burn.
