Is the heart rate tracker a continuous tracker or only when a button is pushed to track it? I have AFIB symptoms occasionally so am looking for something that will track my heart rate automatically throughout the day. null

Two modes, one were it tracks HR only when you push the button and one were it takes intermittent HRs throughout the day. It won't record continuous all day though like an EKG. As a nurse i can say it might catch moments when your heart rate is elevated but it won't be able to track going in and out of afib if that's what you're hoping for.

Yes it does track continuously if you choose that feature. You can also shut of the auto heart rate monitor if you want to track it yourself.

By default it tracks your heart rate every 10 minutes if you're in resting, like sitting down. However, you can trigger a check manually whenever you want.
When you have a workout running like walking, running, biking etc'. It tracks the heart rate continuously and gives you a report on your heart rate throughout the exercise at the end.

It does both. You can set it to manual where you hit the button to get your heart rate or you can set it to automatic.

Mine tracks it automatically although the times it takes it varies. Sometimes its every 10 minutes other times its longer in between. It will tell you the last heart rate taken and show the minimum and maximum. If you can get S Health on your phone it will tell the times it was taken and what it was as long as your phone is connected to it by bluetooth.

It checks your heart rate info every 10 min. You can set up a short cut to have it launch the heart rate monitor with a double press of the button though. It's really cool how it shows you almost a sinus rhythm as it's getting its readings. It's very accurate. My heart skips and flutters too. It doesn't record it, but it can show it to you in real time.

It takes your pulse fairly often automatically

Shadows · Answer

The heart rate sensor activates about every half hour. It's not continuous, but it does happen throughout the day without you having to press the button.

It can be done manually, or set to take your heart rate every hour automatically

There is a feature on the tracker that will automatically track heart rate every ten minutes.
