will the pace signal do 180 BPM?

You can record until 200 BPM. But if you want to measure the pace while you running, you need a polar o garmim watch.

What activity are you doing when "it starts reading"? 78-80 bpm seems pretty reasonable for a relatively fit person to exhibit when they leisurely walk across flat ground. That's where mine starts reading after I walk from my house to my garage and get ready to start my bike ride. My resting heart rate is about 51 bpm (just before I get out of bed). You can verify the accuracy by feeling your pulse with your index finger on your jugular, counting the number of beats in 10 seconds and then multiply that by 6. I routinely check my timex monitor like this and it's pretty bang on accurate. The only time it's not accurate is when I ride my bike in sub zero weather.

Absolutely, I have mine hooked up to my heart rate monitor and speed/cadence sensors. Works flawlessly.

I don't know the answer to this yet. I have the heart rate monitor on order and should receive it in a week or so. I will come back and post an answer when I try it.

Only your heart rate. Remember the closure on the band is weak. I actually lost mine walking to work. Think twice if you are going to be very active with this unit.

To my knowledge it does not. . It only shows the current pace... I will have to check the settings. If you are looking for a simple watch this is the one for you. It's a great watch. ..

As far as I know, I believe it will run 10 min. continuously. I haven't really tried to. The pulse reading must get to 91 or 92 before the alarm stops. I hope this helps.

I think it will. I know you can use centimeters instead of inches to set your pace. Here is a link on YouTube that explains how to set it. http://youtu.be/jJRh-_TKzlc

It does. Provided you use this with a Heart Rate Monitor. You might want to consider the Multisport cardio which has a built in HRM.

Yes. It can go way past 180. It cranks all the way to where your legs would be behind you (360, I guess!). That looks extremely painful!

Karen, The only thing it claimed to do was measure my pulse. It could only do that if I was sitting quietly. It would never register if I had been working out. It died the day after I got it.

According to the product's manual, it's possible! But remember according to the amazon website "When paired with the HRM-Run monitor1, the Forerunner 620 provides feedback on running form by measuring cadence, vertical oscillation and ground contact time". You could use another belt (garmin's), but probably losing this informations. There is one more issue the price of the total equipment is $449 and without the HRM $399. After that, to buy only the HRM Run it will cost you $100.

Check it against your pulse rate - if your rate is that high u need medical assisstance

It lets me know what bpm after I have finished walking.I just bought another phone and I didn't realize it checks your heart rate, so I haven't been using it lately. I hope this answers your question.

I don't feel the heart rate monitor is accurate or practical. While moving I am unable to get any readout. I would NOT recommend this product to anyone looking for something more than a time piece.

I don't think so. Whenever I use the pulse monitor to check my heart rate it gives me a ridiculous number like 93 in the middle of a cardio workout. When I use the exercise function it gives you a calorie burn number that sounds reasonable but there is no way to know if it is accurate because it is based on settings in the watch that are supposed to be described in a manual that I never received. I think it was a waste of money

Mike, Honestly I don't know the answer. The device will show the mph and reflash very offen. I did not count how many second about it because my car, I believe every car, should have own speed info. Therefore, I don't care about how much second for interval. I hope I answered your question. Thanks
