Theoretically, this is certainly possible, but I don't think you'll have that much fun with it. This pulse belt practically doesn't slip (non-slip surface) and is not very flexible - which makes perfect sense in the water if you don't want to fish it off the bottom all the time. So it will probably chafe quite a bit on dry land and cause skin irritation. Perfect for swimming, though. If you want a belt for both land and water, Garmin also offers a corresponding model. However, I don't know this from practical experience.
