Vivosmart HR review -- intensity minutes on a treadmill walk (0)

More experiential data this am:

 Notes -- 

 Went for a 40 minute treadmill walk.  
Earned around 4800 steps, 0 intensity minutes.
My HR was bouncing around 80-95, but had one spike (probably inaccurate) to 134 (when I started on the treadmill at a slow speed).
Started around 2.5 mph and worked up to 3.3 by the end, 0 incline with 3% by the end.

 The IM meter started flashing a couple of times, but clearly not enough activity to kick it into counting.






Conclusion: a walk may or may not kick in the IM count.  I successfully had it count on an outside walk with some significant hills - distance of 1 mi, time of about 15 minutes.  A 40 minute walk on the treadmill didn't work this time.

More and final thoughts for now: http://www.midpackgear.com/2015/11/vivosmart-hr-review-more-about.html

    For some reason I notice the walk outside kicks on the intensity minutes more reliably than the treadmill walk.

    Perhaps it kicks the hr to a trigger point orr because there's more arm swing when walking out doors.

    Well I did 20 mins on treadmill at 3,0 incline; speed 5:0 & recorded no intensity minutes.

    I just did a brisk walk around my acreage for 12 minutes maintaining pace - just to test the IM - zip IM.

    I just swapped from Fitbit to Garmin & not real happy as this is my weight loss motivator. I got my heart rate to 140 during that walk so would have thought this may have activated it.

    Intensity minutes drove me crazy because of their inconsistency. As a result, I've switched to the 235 for activity and hr tracking. No IMs, but no loss given the faulty and unreliable metric.

    Most people want a high motor power (2.5 continuous duty HP or higher). Keep in mind that a 1.5 HP motor has to work twice as hard as a 3.0 HP motor. So it probably won't last as long. Get More Information
