I am not using this watch any more. As far as I know you can run it continuously. While the chest strap is reasonably comfortable you would have to be wearing that continuously also. you can go to the polar.com website for more information and I'm sure you can call theirsales or support line for this information. Sorry couldn't be more helpful

As far as I know, there's no limit for each session, it does have memory limit, when full you have to erase sessions. Enjoy it

I ran for 14 miles with it.. Never encountered a limit... I imagine the on-screen timer will loop back to 0 eventually, but the information uploaded should remain accurate. If you want something that runs all day, consider an armband instead of a chest band, as the latter requires you to keep your chest moist. Ew. Re: battery life, I estimate 60 hours (of exercising) or more per watch battery. Ditto, chest strap. HTH.

yes, it logs several runs and keeps them on the watch too, even after downloading. i tend to download after each run because i like to check all the stats and see the cool graphics as soon as i can, but if you needed to you could logs several runs and download later when you have the chance. i am not sure of the number it keeps logged, but i have 7 currently in my memory.

When you are not tracking an activity, it is like a wrist watch with just the time showing -- it does not use much of the battery for this. I track my runs and swims 3-4 times during the week, and recharge the watch after each use. When I am ready to track the next activity it has always been at 100%.

I used the Bluetooth to connect for heart rate in cyclometer. It worked fine in the past. I just upgraded to cyclemeter elite a few minutes ago and I can't seem to get my heart rate to show up. I'll keep working on it and let u know.

I don't know about value for HRV, but I know if you connect the emwave 2 with the computer, it will give you graphs, comparison for each time you use it and many many more. I don't use it often enough to know all the features. Sorry about that.

These answers seem to contradict the listing and the advertising on the Jarv's box which says "Tracks heart rate, distance, pace, and more!" Also, if you use Runtastic Pro, you can use the the History Add function to download length of time and Calories burned, so will the right app download more?

I cannot add anything to the answer that you received from "Garth". The instructions for setting the time are definitely not clear (as you probably know already) and the design of this watch makes setting the time a challenging task. I purchased this watch strictly for the heart rate function (I only use it when running the treadmill) since I use a different watch for keeping tracked of time. Sorry that I can't provide more assistance.

I have run up to 4+ hours with this watch and the heart rate monitor has worked the whole time. It may get interrupted briefly, but resumes right away so no missing data on the post run record.

When you setup the timer you can adjust the "exercise" time and the "rest" time. That gives you two different time intervals that will run/alternate continuously. I hope that answers your question!

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.

Select Settings &gt; User Information Weight: Enter your weight. Height: Enter your height. Date of birth: Enter your date of birth Sex: Select MALE or FEMALE. Maximum heart rate is the highest number of heartbeats per minute (bpm) during maximum physical exertion. Change the default value only if you know your laboratory-measured value. Not sure what you mean by setting it for 5 zones...i hope someone else can help!

The display doesn't tell you anything about your sleep, but it does all of the rest. I would recommend writing out your own nutritional assesment for about 3 days to see the average amount of calories you take in. After that you can set your own "mental" goal of how many calories you would like to burn in a day. The subscription was good for changing your goals because they were also uploaded to your armband and you would get alerts from your display when targets were met. If you can somehow get a free trial membership or even pay for one month to go online and really set your goals and targets, I think it would be beneficial. It is rewarding to get that instant feedback when you meet your calorie goal for the day. But to answer your question, yes you could do without the subscription. Keep in mind that you will have to write your info down at least every two days because although the display holds several days of info, without the subscription you can only view the previous day's info in addition to the present day.

I can use it for watching heart rate & O2 sat, I have not used it for more than a couple of mins., but I do shut it off and do not wait for it to 'log off' . It can be moved from one hand to the other w/o shutting it down...Hope that helps ?

Another good question. Also, can you set it to record for X hours? Still reading...

Not sure if I understand your question. You can set the auto lap interval to any distance you want. So for cycling you can make it for two or three miles. Just a word of warning, there is no cycling function on this watch yet. I assume They will add it during an update, but it is strictly running now.

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.

Frankly, I do not use it. I simply take my pulse for 6 seconds (using the clock on the bike) and add a zero :) 13 beats in 6 seconds means I'm at 130 BPM, works fine. I use the bike a bunch and ride it hard, great piece of equipment.
