Does it count the calories burned as you run?

It only counts them as you put your heart rate in. It is very sensitive so you cant move your arm around while you are trying to capture your heart rate, I actually have to stop running for a minute and press the buttons to get a reading. It will then calculate the calories burned based on the time elapsed at the heart rate that you captured, so for example if you run for thirty minutes you would need to stop a couple times during your run to get a heart rate reading and if you stop the timer before your last heart rate reading it will not calculate those calories. So long story longer I like it to get and "idea" of my calories but it is a pain to stop several times to get the heart rate reading and I question how truly accurate it is since it is not real time for the heart rate only when you actually press the buttons to capture the heart rate...but I hate chest straps so this is the next best thing for me. Hope that helps

Yes it does after you set the timer to begin your workout and while your working out and you take your heart rate it will show you how much you have burned and than it will go back to timer and keep recording until your finished, I love mine and wear it all the time for any workouts I do!

Mine does not directly count calories but it does give me a very useful and generally accurate index of my level of activity during the day often at variance with what I had believed to be my level of activity. I can then interpret my activity into calories consumed in a general and useful way. It thus helps me balance my activity with my food intake and my body weight. Overall, I have found it surprisingly useful.

Yes I think it only work on running because the GPS tracks ur movement and calculates the amount of calories used for that distance, speed, and time.

I'm sure you can wear it to get a measure of your calories burned throughout the day, but I believe this device is most accurate when used during your workouts. However there are other devices that can do this for you -- I recommend checking out the FitBit. :)

Yes, I just tried it to see. It will count distance,calories, pulse, everything in either direction.

Hi, I believe calories are only displayed after you have finished training. During training, time is displayed as well as heart rate. Heart rate is on a linear scale with designations for fat burning levels and maximum heart rate level. I also use Cardio Trainer (app) on my smartphone when I run or bike outside. And I use My Fitness Pal (app) as well (after workouts) to track things like calories, exercise. Hope that helps. Kathy

It seems to measure your calories burned based on you checking your heartrate. I have noticed while in the midst of exercising and I check my heartrate with the watch, after it gets a clear read on my heart, the calories burned display shows either more or less calories in the totals.

You have to wear the chest strap for it to indicate your heart rate. I do not think this device would register calorie burn.

No, the only way it will show calories burned is if you use a heart rate monitor

Yes. The chest strap monitors your heart rate and that is how it calculates calories.

After each mile, your pace displays. When you're done, you see your distance, average pace, calories and maybe one other thing. Once you plug it in to your computer, you get even more information. It's great!

I would expect so. When you log into the dashboard of flex, you can see the differences by steps and/or calorie burn (whichever you prefer to see, you can flip back and forth between them), and it will show you how many minutes were of each (faster/slower) - it shows: "light, moderate and intense" minutes and calories burned during that time. (I don't jog, but I do cardio / hiit training and it shows the differences)

No. I went on a run and half way through I checked my count and it was still 0. It is more how much you thrash your arm around, which is counted. I use this more to keep track of my heartbeat during workouts. I wouldn't recommend this one.

Hi Pam! No, this particular model doesn't tell you the time that you walked/ran. It gives you an all day total of steps, and how many miles those steps equals.

Yes, it does measure calories burned. . .I just can't say what it's calculated off of. It displayed calories burned for any activity, but I doesn't seem to be at a different rate for slow-paced walking vs. sprinting. I can't recommed this product for anything other than the clock.

I'm not aware that it will track calories burned, however, it is a great heart rate watch.

It does count calories, steps and miles walked. I'm still getting used to all functions. I'm going to do accuracy check with a friends monitor to see how close readouts are. Hope this helps. I don't regret the purchase.
