FAQs

Will my heart rate data be recorded while I’m charging the heart rate monitor?****
No, your Forerunner will not record data while you are charging the heart rate monitor.
Can I use my Forerunner to record my heart rate data?****
Yes, you can use your Forerunner to record your heart rate data while you are charging the heart rate monitor. You can also use your Forerunner to record your heart rate data if you have an external ANT+ compatible device that transmits your data. However, you cannot use both devices at the same time, because they will interfere with each other. For example, if you have a third- party ANT+ chest strap and want to use it with your Forerunner, remove the Garmin strap from your chest and place it on another part of your body (such as a leg) during the recording session.

Where is the best placement for a heart rate monitor?****
An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) may be prescribed by your doctor in order to identify or diagnose an irregular cardiac rhythm. To track the electrical activity of a heartbeat, sensors or electrodes are sometimes affixed to the chest or a limb.
Should I wear a heart rate monitor all day?****
Modern fitness trackers benefit from being wearable throughout the day because heart-rate chest bands often come off as soon as you finish exercising. Even if you wore a chest strap all day, it would probably start to feel uncomfortable after your workout.
Is heart rate monitor Same as pulse rate?****
Both of these deliver the identical data and do the exact same measurement. The only distinction between the two is one of technical nature. The number of beats per minute is estimated by heart rate. The pulse rate, on the other hand, gauges the force and frequency with which the heart pumps blood to various body parts.
