how does the heart monitor work ... does it measure heart rate directly from the wrist?

Hi! That is correct. Here is a link to a YouTube vid on the watch. Watch "null" on YouTubehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8FZFzTOHIA

No. You have to place the index and middle fingers on the sensors that are next to the watch display. In a few seconds it will show the value of your heartbeat and the percentage relative to the maximum for your age.

Nope. You have to push two buttons on top at the same time to get a reading any time you want the HR. These are the two silver buttons at top right and bottom left. So does not work well if you are jogging, for example.

The watch has got sensor button on the surface where Drive+ is written on the top surface of the watch. Just press that sensor with index finger and heart shape figure would appear on watch and in four to five seconds heart rate will appear on the watch.

You need to put your index fingertip of the opposite hand in the metal around the watch. You hold it there for maybe 1 to 2 seconds and it gives you a reading. The metal has a sensor to read the heart beats.

You have to wear the heart monitor around your chest and it links up to the watch. Mine can link up with my smartphone but the watch cannot do heart rate by itself

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that question. I can tell you that this watch doesn't come with a heart rate monitor. I bought 2 of them. I'm not sure where Amazon got that picture from showing the watch with a monitor cord.

Wrist monitors are too far from the heart for an accurate reading. Mine was showing at least 10 points higher than it actually was and it stopped working four days after i got it. I returned it and got the Omron upper arm cuff which was just as easy to use and matched the readings taken by my physician,

This product does not show your heart rate. There is an option for it if you sync it with a Garmin though. I don't have a Garmin, therefore I only use my Polar watch and band.

Yes For continuous heart rate monitoring. For spot check of your heart rate you just push the silver butting with your index finger and it gives you ECG accurate heart rate.

It has a strap on your chest with a sensor which sends the reading to the watch. It has a setting on the watch which can be set to "constant" and it will give you a readout all the time. There is a function which I haven't tried yet which will give you the duration of your exercise and maximums you reach.

First of all it is easier to use than a arm monitor. I never could get the arm monitor adjusted correctly on my upper arm. Also it is known, you BP is not always the same in both arms. Wrist Blood one says to put on right wrist, based on the readings and if you didn't put it on right, you will definitely get a weird reading or it won't take at all, it will say there is an error. Also you should take BP reading right after you have eaten or drank something cold, suppose to wait at least 1/2? or 1 hour? before taking BP reading. All my readings seem to be about what the Dr. had recorded in his office, so I figured I was doing it right. First of all it is easier to use than a arm monitor.

Yes. No. Yes. No. Or I guess but what exactly "continuous heart monitoring" mean? Think about it. I mean really think about it.. Unlike most smart watches employ this heart heart tracking feature but not advertised as "continuous..." Not trying to be blunt but I couldve asked better questions than that.

The heart rate monitor goes around your chest and the watch is worn on your wrist. You can just wear the watch w/o the chest strap but it won't monitor your heart rate or calculate your calories.

No, just heart rate. It has a zone feature also keeps time when not used as monitor

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

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

I find that the heart rate monitor works quite well. Sometimes it takes a little longer than normal because of it changing while I am working out, etc.And sometimes if I am super sweaty I have to wipe some sweat off first for it to work.

Strap goes on your chest ( below sternum ) & watch on wrist. Strap gives data to watch, which in turn will record heart rate data. Watch will display heart rate , calories burnt etc.
