how does read heart rate

The heart rate monitor is attached to a strap that fits around your chest, right under your bra, and syncs with the Vivofit. I just wear it when I exercise. Although it bugged me a little when I first started wearing it, I usually forget I have it on now.

You'll need to wear the chest strap for the Vivo to read heart rate. It does save the data as you exercise and it is neat to see the graph of your work-out afterwards.

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.

The heart rate reading is continuous. You can also specify high and low readings of a zone and a tone will sound if you are above or below that zone. Also arrows indicate if you are above or below the zone. Note: It does take a few minutes, properly wetting the chest belt, to get it started.

Hi Brian, good question. Basis bands detect heart rate in real time on the wrist and show minute averages on your online dashboard. You can track you stress by monitoring your elevated heart rate but the band is not meant to diagnose any health conditions.

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

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that question. I can tell you that this watch doesn't come with a heart rate monitor. I bought 2 of them. I'm not sure where Amazon got that picture from showing the watch with a monitor cord.

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

It is a wristwatch, and it comes with a chest strap to monitor your heart rate. The chest strap wirelessly communicates with the watch, so your heart rate is displayed on the watch.

Yes, it does read systolic, diastolic, pulse, and your pressure rating. It detects irregular heartbeat, too.

No, you can only display heart rate on one screen. I actually use a Polar receiver (watch) to receive the signals from the Omron Chest strap. The polar readout allows you display stop watch, heart rate and calories burned on one screen. The polar receivers are good, but the transmitters are worthless. They go defective after about a month and battery replacement doesn't solve the problem. The Omron transmitters are good quality.

The heart rate monitor works one you push the start icon. It takes a few moments to measure then displays your heart rate. -Word of caution: It is not accurate but the Samsung SActive phone sensor is very accurate.

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.

It measures you heart rate by putting your index finger on the face of it. Works great! Got it for my 14 year old daughter who needed to monitor her heart rate. It's also least expensive at Amazon.

There is no truly accurate formula that doesn't rely on monitoring your heart rate.Most monitors include a method for determining your target heart rate and max heart rate.Your age, fitness level, and resting heart rate are usually factors in most calculations.You can google up a variety of them. However, if you know where your heart rate is when you work out, you will soon get an idea for how hard you're really pushing yourself. Everyone has a different peak, valley, and sweet spot. Just use Google and find a calculator for Target Heart Rate.

Hi Kathy, I have this pulse-ox, the oxygen reading is on the top, the bottom reading is the heart rate. I use one for work. It does what I need. Bleach-rt

The watch shows your heart rate in real time. The percentage function is something you can setup for different types of training. Hope this helps.

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.
