Is the heart rate monitor also waterproof

It can take some water but no it is not fully water proof so you can not wear in the water?

No, you need the chest strap for it to take any BPM reading. This is the best and most simple HRM that I have found.

Hi, it is waterproof. It says it on the instructions and I also swam in it yesterday so it was submerged in water for long periods of time and still worked. However (and this might not apply to what you're asking) my transmitter (around the chest) kept losing signal so I need to figure out if there's something I need to do better to avoid that. But the watch itself worked just fine under the water.

Hi Kelly, I have not used this watch/chest strap in the pool. When I was researching this watch, other people mentioned that it is water resistant but will not perform under water. Hope that helps.Thank you,Sarah

They provide a separate heart rate monitor you have to wear. I haven't personally tried it.

Yes it comes with a chest strap that monitors your heart rate on your watch. When I am on the treadmill my heart rate shows up on the treadmill monitor also. V

In the watch it is written water resistance 50M, but in the monitor, there is nothing, so I do not believe it is

I bathe/shower with my watch on all the time. It does state that the watch is waterproof up to 30 m in a pool but i definitely wouldn't recommend any deep sea diving with this watch on.

All chest HR monitors are sweat-resistant. In fact, they MUST be a little wet to work properly. But if you're looking for something to track your HR while swimming, this won't work.

No, unless I have missed something which I don't think I have. The heart rate moniter is just that. There is a palm contact type built into the handle grips that ok for a quick check or when you are using the lower handles ( which I rarely do)It comes with a wireless chest strap that has a readout on the screen but is not interactive with the resistance programming.I really like the machine, there are four of us using it on a regular basis.

Asfar as I know it's waterproof. I wear mine 24/7 since I had it, and nothing has happen to it yet. I wear it working out , swim, and shower.As time goes buy the halogram will probably pop off. Nothing last forever!

I don't think it is water proof. Not really sure, but I know my son subjected his watch to rough play and it still works.

Yes; the chest strap is the only way this watch can monitor your heart rate and calories. Without it, it's just a watch with functions you can't use

If you are sweating or wet, it will continuously attempt to take your pulse. If there is dampness between your wrist and the watch, it will do this. The good news is that yes, there is a simple way to turn the pulse feature off and on.

i use the Alpha Mio continuous heart rate monitor watch while swimming. it reliably gives heart rate while swimming without pushing buttons. i can keep track of my heart rate without stopping and looking directly at the dial because there are colored LED lights that flash my approximate heart rate which are easy to check during the swim stroke. After the swim/run/bike ride, the watch will give me average heart rate during the workout and length of workout. I am not a mio employee.

No...... this device isn't water resistant in that sense. I ran w it in a light rain and the bezel had some difficulty,,, there is a Garmin that is water resistant, but not this one. Hope that helps.
