It does not track heart rate. I bought it because I wanted to complete my first half in a certain time and needed something very simple and affordable to keep pace. It works really well for that. It has different "buzz" sounds for when you are ahead of pace, on pace, and behind pace. You can display pace only, pace and distance, pace and time. It is a very basic Garmin and if you want it just for pacing, it is a good price for that purpose. It does take a little bit of time to start up and by that I mean to "find your location" so make sure you start it at least 5 minutes before your race start (and watch for when it goes into sleep mode). It can be set up to stop/pause when you stop running for a break. I got it on "super sale". Hope this helps. And, yes, despite horrendous rain, I met my goal finish time.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Forerunner 10 does not offer pace alerts and does not have the ability to track heart rate. If you are looking for these features you may want to look at a Forerunner device in the 200 series or higher.
