Because watches help the runner pace themself, the sanctioning body may consider them an illegal assist to the runner. In this scenario, the issue is not the heart rate monitor function, but the equipment it operates on. It depends on the sanctioning body, whether they allow watches or not.

Heart rate monitors have not caught on in high schools yet but are mainstream in ultra-long distance events. I know several people that use them and they are not a huge advantage from a rules standpoint. It is just more info to help you as a runner.

I doubt that a pacing device would be allowed. You really shouldn't need a heart rate monitor to run though. If it’s a watch, then it’s perfectly legal. I doubt that a pacing device would be allowed.
