Does the watch show "actual" heart rate or just a percentage?

It will show both actual and percentage. Just select which display you want in the HRM set up mode
1376443
yes it does. you can show both range. in bpm or percentage, wherever you want. actual rate with or without sound. statistic for bpm or % like a average, peak max or peak min in a loop

You can program it either way when you do your HR set up. Its easier for run/bike to use percents if you want to stay in a zone, and it has zone alarms. I wear the watch in the pool but not the heart rate monitor. It will take time to get used to the watch and its functions, but read and re read the instructions. You will be fine. My only issue with it is the intervals. But otherwise like the watch.

I don't remember. I actually sent it back because it doesn't allow you to input the proper weight, height and gender into it so my calories burned was based on a150 lb man. Sorry I couldn't help more

Yes you have to put your fingers on it, although at times i see a heart rate average and I have not put my finger on it. So, it may monitor it, but I put my finger on the watch.

Yes. The strap around your mid-section is barely noticeable which measures your heart rate. The watch itself is about that same size as any other sport watch.

It includes the strap for reading the heart beats and the watch shows your heart rate. So, it's both. I'm very pleased with the one I have!

I think the calorie count is way off. I used it a couple of times in kick boxing cardio class, which is really intense cardio, and it would only show that I burned like 350 calories. I'm sure its much more than that. If counting calories is what you really want I would get the strape that goes around your body instead of the watch. Its supposed to be much more accurate. Hope this helps!

Not to my knowledge. I would suggest getting the samsung gear watch. I have one as well and its amazing. They also sell other brands that keep track of your heart rate, and most of them do have a pedometer, but not this one. If it does I couldn't find the app.

Yes it does if you enter the info about your personal heart rate in your set up mode. Hope this helps

While the watch can calculate (recorded to be exact) heart rate during any activity (given the HR strap is used), i'm not sure whether the calories burn calculation is accurate. You can check TomTom watch's FAQ or ask the question directly.

No, but it shows all the numbers very clearly as shown. This is the best product which I am using. If you have money you can try what ever you want to buy with high technology like showing heart rate etc but if you don't have money like me and if you want some decent product you should buy this.

That is not one of the functions of the Omron monitor that I have. The monitor tells you the number of heart beats per minute. I am a retired nursing instructor and nurse practitioner. I can tell you that we always teach our students to feel the pulse at the wrist in order to determine whether the pulse rate is regular or not.

I don't think so. It has other charts but not that. I do like mine. I go to the gym. Since I move between exercises, a chart for me would be somewhat erratic. However, it does a good job of measuring my effort in three levels of intensity based on the percentage of maximum heart rate. At the end, I can see the maximum and average heart rate for the day. Good luck.

No..It has to be downloaded to your computer to view. I use a polar watch to display while exercising (same polar heart rate strap sends to Oregon). All in all for the price it is a good deal

It bases power on heart rate with an algorithm so calibrating it won't make it more accurateDo google searches for more info about how it figured out power what it assumes about the workout they estimate that it is within 15% of a real power meter but it can be +/-

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.

I've never used it as you describe, but it starts showing your heart rate once you place the band on your chest. You would need to wear watch and band.

Jaclynne hello. It takes your pulse all day long. You can press the silver button in the front of the watch to see your heart rate. Enjoy...for you won't be dissapointed.
