Hi, Polar loop needs the heart sensor to measure your heart rate.It cannot do it by itself.It does count steps and estimated calories (proximate) based on the initial data you set and the counted steps.Using the heart sensor allows the loop to make a better calories estimation.

In order to measure your heart rate you must wear the heart rate monitor. Yes, it will count your steps and calories without the chest strap.

It does count calories burned. It also is a workout/run timer, counts steps taken and seems to be fairly accurate so long as you set it up correctly.

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.

You have to wear to the heart strap detector to measure your heart rate and hence calculate the calories. I hope this helps.

I believe so! To be honest I haven't tried to get an accurate HR without using the chest strap!

The heart rate monitor is optional. You can purchase the wrist unit without the heart rate monitor, or both. If you purchase the wrist unit without, you can buy the chest strap heart rate monitor later.

I believe the difference is the foot pod. You cannot use it without a chest strap for heart rate, but you can use the foot pod without the chest strap.

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!

No, the only way it will show calories burned is if you use a heart rate monitor

The watch will tell you how many calories you burned..as far as how much you EAT (take in) ..NO. I give this watch a B , it's good to keep your heart rate on check and tells you how long you've been working out and how many calories burned. So, YES it will tell you how many calories burned...you just got to read the manual as it can be confusing ..and make sure you wet the band ..hope that answers your question.

It will monitor resting heart rate.So long as the chest strap is properly positioned it will monitor your heart rate.

Yes, it does measure calories burned. . .I just can't say what it's calculated off of. It displayed calories burned for any activity, but I doesn't seem to be at a different rate for slow-paced walking vs. sprinting. I can't recommed this product for anything other than the clock.

Yes! It measures your heart rate doing various activities. There is a strap that you wear under your clothes that sends a signal to your watch.

No, it does not count calories. It acts as a stopwatch and counts your heart rate.

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.

No, it does not track steps or miles, just heart rate. But it keeps track of your calories burned, hours spent in activity and how long you are in your target heart rate zone.

It depends on what you mean by not exercising. It does monitor heart rate as low as 69 beats a minute. But I doubt if it will go down to a really low reading, I haven't tried that. It doesn't monitor sleep, which may be what you are trying to find out.
