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.

When I use mine it did. I would take it at regular intervals and it did detect irregular heartbeats. And I knew it was working because there were differences in the readings.

Ours is pretty accurate with the readings our physician gets. Make sure you follow all the suggested directions.

Hi Brian, good question. Basis bands detect heart rate in real time on the wrist and show minute averages on your online dashboard. You can track you stress by monitoring your elevated heart rate but the band is not meant to diagnose any health conditions.

Yes it does. Thats exactly what it was designed for. I recommend you go to your doctor and get a reading from his/her device, that way you'd be able to get an accurate reading from this machine.Strange enough that I also do have an irregular heartbeat many many years now (1997 or so) and the doctor ran some testing for over a 2 weeks period to see what was wrong. Finally he told me thats the way my heart beats. To this day I don't ever worry about it and it does not worry me, and I'm 55 yrs young and going strong ☺ ☻ ☼

I can't really answer that because I didn't wear it often. I didn't find it to be that user friendly so I went back to using my Polar watch w/ heart rate monitor. You may want to ask other purchasers and/or do a customer review search to get a better cross section of opininos.

According to the info given in the instruction manual. It does measure irregular heart beat and if you have irregular heart beat, a symboldepicting your heart beat will appear on the monitor.

Hi Jack, I have a Micro-life monitor and am quite pleased with it - easy to use etc, though a larger cuff for larger people would have been handy as I had to but one especially. Your AFIB? Not sure what that stands for, so can't make a comment. However, the monitor does detect irregular heartbeat, if that's any help to you - all these gadgets are clever, but they don't replace a Dr or specialist. Cheers, Warren. p.s. let me know how you got on?

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.

i am not sure of an irregular heart beat-doubt it, but you get your oxygen level and heart rate...

Hello, The device does not warn you about an irregular heartbeat, but, there is a green led light array (as seen on the pic) which "beats" according to your heartbeat in real-time. This may give you a clue about any irregularity.

My answer would be a big YES... it seems very accurate and I often compare it to the one my Step-mom uses daily at her Hospital job.It's consistant within 2 or 3 percent. My husband and I are in our late 50's and we both use it once every morning...again after our daily workout at the Gym...and again a few hours after the Gym workouts. six times a day and it has never failed to give good solid readings.

Does this product measure the amount of time that elapses between heart beats?

As long as it reads 300 to 400 outside it gives me confidence that it is fairly accurate. And it Alway has stayed in that margin outside. In a dark room you can see the infa red pulse every few seconds and seam to adjust corispodingly. Hope that helps.

According to the manual, this unit will fit arm circumferences of 9" to 17". When the monitor detects an irregular rhythm two or more times during the measurement, the Irregular Heartbeat symbol will appear on the display with the measurement values. An irregular heart beat is defined as a rhythm that varies by less than 25% from the average rhythm or 25% more than the average rhythm detected while the monitor is measuring the systolic and diastolic blood pressure. This info is quoted directly from the manual.

Not really sure how accurate but did catch movement when on bike, placed on shoe string. However, now I use a fitbit. Got it for Christmas and like the heart beat reading .. Good luck to you !

Also, read the other answers: this device DOES NOT offer continuous heart rate monitoring. I think the description is a little misleading about that. For me a deal breaker.
