Will it track calories burned throughout the entire day or only when you are exercising?

If you leave the pedometer on, it will track calories burned based on steps walked

Hello. Sure it can definitely track your golf course activities. I would suggest that you put it on Walk and once you upload the data onto the run.goyourlife.com website with the sync tool you can see distance walked, calories burned, elevation, and even pace. The watch itself will also tell you those stats when you set up the different stats on a page within the watch settings. Each page you create can show you up to three different stats with the ability to make up to 4 separate pages with different combination of stats. I hope this answers your question.~Team PAPAGO!

Yes. You have a choice of methods. Fitbit may count "steps" while you are using the elliptical machine, but the other way would be to track "Activities" where "elliptical - high resistance," "moderate" and "low resistance" are choices. You would input the amount of time and resistance level, and Fitbit calculates calories burned. It would also negate any steps counted during the time period.

If you want an accurate read on number of calories burned, steps taken, distance walked in a day then yes...but I only wear during my workouts to get a sense of what I've done during that workout. It's really up to you.

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.

Only if you wear the breast strap, which would be rather uncomfortable. I have the Basis now, which does that, but is not very good at measuring calorie consumption during activity. In any case, calorie count during sleep is rather uninteresting - the Basis shows I burned some 500 cal between midnight and 6:30 am and I would bet that this is within 10% of what it shows any other day, even after a hard workout when the actual consumption is higher. If you look for calorie count, I'd go with a Polar for workout and a Fitbit or similar with MyfitnessPal for the rest.

It tracks your activity based on the sensors it has, and gives you an average based on your activity level such as movement, perspiration level, e.g. Comparing my heart rate monitor average heart rate and calories burned to the Armband it has tracked my workouts accurately.

The watch will tell you how many calories you burned..as far as how much you EAT (take in) ..NO. I give this watch a B , it's good to keep your heart rate on check and tells you how long you've been working out and how many calories burned. So, YES it will tell you how many calories burned...you just got to read the manual as it can be confusing ..and make sure you wet the band ..hope that answers your question.

Yes it does. It tracks duration, distance, avg.pace, avg. speed, max speed, and calories.

It can be used to track calories burned while walking. Doesn't count steps taken

Yes it will track calories. But why would you buy gps tracker just to track cals. See Times hrm.

It tracks steps, miles walked, and calories burned. Once you get your account set up on line you can track these items plus track your calorie intake (with a little effort on your part). The FitBit has helped me to lose 16 lbs so far and it keeps you "honest".

It does an estimated calorie count based on the amount of steps you take. It won't factor in any other activity.

Hi Sandra - this watch (the Polar F7) will allow you to view the calories burned, as well as your heart rate and zone. The data for these are on different screens, so they won't show simultaneously, but you can view the information easily by scrolling through the screen displays. (I believe there are around five screen displays, showing time of day, calories burned, time spent exercising, heart rate/zone). Good luck!

It tracks an "estimated" amount I think based on your height/ weight, and adds to this number based on your steps. So, yes, it records calories burned even while you sleep.

I attach it a few inches above the back of my knee when cycling and it's able to measure something. I can't say how accurate the burned calories are but it seems like it's close (comparing what it says to myfitnesspal's moderate cycling--my pace--for 45 minutes gives about the same numbers).It would be helpful if someone with a heart rate monitor compared its calories burned with those burned using the BodyMedia on the leg. I'm betting they won't be identical but will be pretty close.

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. :)
