Can I monitor my heart rate all the time?

Do I have to be actively in one of the sports modes for the heart rate to be recorded or can I do that all the time? I'd like to see what my heart rate does over the course of a day.

There is no constant recording, it takes a reading once every 10 minutes for the activity tracking, but that is it. If you put it in gym mode (no GPS, HR only) you will get close to 24 hours on a fully charged battery (depending on the age of the watch) which may serve your purpose.
