Are you planning on only using it to monitor temperature and not control a heater? Continuous heating ‘mode’ is just an alarm setting that will go off after ‘x’ amount of hours when the unit has been calling for heat but temp has not changed.
I use it as a monitor/alarm for temps outside of a certain range and have my apex actually control the heater. The top and bottom ranges are greater and lower than the Apex, so it doesn’t call for heat unless the apex fails, hence no continuous heat alarm unless the apex temp probe poops out.
if you are using it to control the heater, then you want the continuous alarm set to a reasonable timeframe in case of failure.
