does it have irregular heartbeat warning?

I don't believe it does. We had to return ours because the blood pressure readings were inaccurate. They couldn't replace it and we bought a different type. But my husband has a-fib and never got a warning, even though he's about to have a defibrillator implanted.

There is a high and low heart rate alert. It will alert you when you are below the low alert and when you are above the high alert. Hope this helps...

I'm not having any trouble with my Smarthealth watch. I check my pulse about 4 times a day to make sure I'm still alive. Actually, checking your heart rate often helps your watch calibrate and customize its other functions specifically for YOU.I love this thing.

Yes it does. Almost anything anyway, as long as you have a heart rate monitor strap. I even used it whilst sleeping to see how low my HR would go!

So far I haven't used the Garmin while cycling with any specific alerts. It vibrates to alert me I've gone a mile. Then when I switch to running it still vibrates to alert me I've gone a mile. Is that what you mean?

Yes, it has both a high and low heart rate alarm. You can set your low range and your high range to stay in your target zone. If you are trying to stay below a rate, set the low below your resting heart rate (then it won't go off), then set the high at your limit.

If you wear the heart rate monitor all day it does. Keep in mind it is a strap around your chest and it is not comfortable for extended uses. I only wear mine during workouts and it works very well.

It has a little heart that shows your pulse, if you watch it carefully, you could catch irregularites IF they were not hidden like extened q-r length or s-t segments. Basically it would show only the regularity of the beat, which you could get just as well if not better taking your own pulse and feeling for any skipped or fast beats. I would buy a stethoscope, which they have here on Amazon at very reasonable prices. I used to be an EMT and EKG Tech. I got both on this site and am very happy with the quality and professionalism they show.

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.

I have had my 205 for about 4 months and it appears to be pretty accurate most of the time . The last 2 weeks the heart rate monirtor is very erratic. It starts out, and stays, at about 68-70 and reamins static for about 5 minutes It will then kick in and stay in tune with another polar that i have. It will then proceed to be inaccurate and bounce around. I have changed the battery on the chest unit twice. No difference. Any thouhgts?

It records irregular heartbeat, but when inflated, it seems like uts not gonna deflate to the point of psin. It just remains tight and takes longer than usual to elicit readings.

It reports simple heart rate. It cannot detect specific patterns or anything like an EKG.

It does record irregular heart beats. The heart icon on the readout will blink when those beats are present. I'm an RN and have used it when I was having arrythmias and definitely saw it on the monitor!

Yes it displays a shaking heart if you have atrial fibrillation but you have to look at the heart rate to determine if the heart beats too fast or too slow.

Yes, but only in 2 of the 6 display modes. There are 4 horizontal modes, and you can choose to have larger numbers or the pleth waves. If you choose the pleth, you can further choose to have it displayed on top or bottom. The wave is nice to see the amplitude of your pulse, and graphically display an irregular heartbeat.

According to the manual if it detects an irregular rhythm 2 or more times while being inflated it displays a irregular heartbeat symbol. Irregular is defined as more than 25% slower or faster than the average rhythm.
