Will it work for running on the treadmill (no GPS)?

Yes it does but there will be no information on distance covered. In fact, you should turn off GPS.

Some of the training modules will work on the treadmill, but you can't add your mileage. Some of the mileage workouts (like in a half marathon training) you need GPS.
1365395
Yes. There are even workouts in the app built specifically for the treadmill.

They have some workout programs for treadmills , stationary bikes and other indoor workouts. Pear is always adding and improving on what they offer.

I use it on a gazelle elliptical using one of the run walk interval training programs. Works great. It gauges your heart rate to measure your effort and workout calories.

yes you can but i recommend you to turn off the GPS. If you want to track how long have you run, I recommend you to get the foot pod, I just got one and it is awesome, it tells you what is the frequency of your steps and even it can measure the distance that you have run without the GPS. I hope my answer helped you.

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.

No. Not for outside runs. I think you can for treadmill runs if you need that.

It would depend on what the front of your treadmill is like. Probably better on a shelf in front of it.

That is an overstatement. I do run with mine in a pocket that is in the back of my running shorts, and it works OK. It drops out if I bend over or the battery is low, but it otherwise holds a signal. The manual does advise wearing on the front/right side of the body, and my rear-pocket appears to be right at the limit of where the blue tooth will connect. I also noted that there appears to be some additional interference from my Garmin GPS watch, so I have fewer issues when I'm on a treadmill indoors. But it is an overstatement to say that it ONLY works when using an arm band.

I have a treadmill on mine. It works great for that piece of equipment. The mat is a good thickness.

Yes, you can use it without using one of the workouts in the app. It comes with a "Free Form Workout" in which is just monitors your hear rate and tracks your GPS location.

It is not a GPS so it will not track steps/distance if your arms are still. Makes sense as it would record your movement in a car, etc... If you walk on a treadmill it is fairly accurate provided you calibrate and then move your arms in stride when working out. If you hold the side rails or hold your arms still it will not record accurately but overall it is fairly representative of your workout and active time.

If you have slot for micro SD Card it will work without adapter. But most Garmins have the standard SD Card Slot requiring the adapter.

I only use it for walking, and it works fine for that. Not sure about running. Sorry.

I just do a fast-paced walk on treadmills...not brave enough to run. It seems to be OK for my "speed"Sorry I couldn't be of more help

I don't think so. I have a Garmin watch that tracks miles when I run. I bought this as a heart rate monitor. It works pretty good but you do have to hold your finger over the face of the watch for approx 5 seconds.

On the treadmill it will only record Heartrate (in addition to time). This can either be done by manually going into the settings and turning the GPS OFF, or after a while of not finding GPS signal, the watch will ask you if you are indoors. Selecting YES at this point will turn off the GPS and allow you to workout indoors without getting incorrect GPS data.

No, it would not give you an accurate read. It is meant for running/walking.
