How accurate is the heart rate?

I believe its quite accurate....and I've had for some time and measured at doctors office with him. I paid 19 dollars, got a black and a white one.

I think ok, I don't have anything to compare it too. Taking being inactive and taking it after a walk, there was a big difference.

Yes Yes and Yes. I have checked with other heart rate monitors for sport use and after averaging and allowing scientific deduction I am sure ,this is most accurate continous heart rate monitor.

I haven't had that problem at all. If anything, it is a bit inaccurate in the beginning of a run while my heart rate is just kicking in. After a few minutes at most, mine works well - as accurate as my Polar without the irritating strap.

I beleive it does. You will need to enter your weight and age and height and resting heart rate and I beleive it determins it from those numbers. There is a wealth of info on their website to help. Customer service is fantastic. They also offer live chat. I hope this helps.

I would say not really. I think most oximeters will have problems at high heart rates unless they are specifically designed for sports. I noticed that it takes awhile to get a reading until my heart rate comes down below 150 BPM.

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.

Only if u are setting it to keep track. You would have to also periodically check your pulse for a reading. This is strictly used for when you are exercising

Mine shows my heart rate over 100 most everyday. The oxygen count mine has shown no more than the 99%---but 100 is the most it could show. Check on it, but I think 99% is standard.

It's a great unit. It measures your HR thru a chest strap which works perfect. I've never had any issues with it. Yes, It can measure your HR out of the box but to get an accurate calorie count and max HR you need to perform a test which is really simple and it gives you the instructions on what to do. The calorie and HR count are accurate. Great buy. :)

Yes, the chest strap is the only way to detect your heart rate. It works well with this watch. The first time I used it while on one of the treadmills at our fitness center, I noticed that the chest strap also automatically syncs wirelessly with the treadmill, which shows your heart rate on its display screen. Hope this is helpful!

Not that I know of but the heart rate will link with certain gym equipment. You can enter the data in a fitness app though.

Do not worry ! It works very well. I use it every day during exercise, it perfectly comes with the chest strap heart rate.

Absolutely. You don't have to move arms to measure your heart rate. I had was with a transmitter - it wasn't functioning right & I sent it back.

I work in healthcare and it is no different than what I would use to measure a patient's heart rate. It is a tad slower to register but if you actually use the sensor on your fingertip it is much faster, however in continuous monitoring mode during exercise it seems to work pretty close to the monitors we use in my clinic. I held out for a while for the Basis Band and honestly prefer the Gear Fit and Neo 2.

I found this device to be very accurate. In fact, the reason I bought it was precisely what you're experiencing. I used to have my doctor take my pressure before, during and after my checkup. I refused to take medication so my doctor suggested this device. If anything, at times my pressure is somewhat low. This model of Omron also has a memory so you can reference previous readings and keep a log if you want.

I've used this watch for all different types of work outs. Anything from running outside, sprints on the treadmill, weight training, and crossfit style workouts. Overall I think the heart rate given is pretty accurate. As far as calories burned, I can't imagine it beig 100% correct but either way I'm sure it's a good estimate and always pushes me to work harder. It tracks your workouts and has some other features I haven't even used yet but for what I need I think it works great!

Hi, the heart rate monitor works just fine for me and I've used it for maybe 7-10 runs and get VERY sweaty.
