Does this track cals burned as well?
2079360
The sports tracker app tracks calories burned. The heart monitor just links to the app to track your heart rate during your activity
2079361
The software that you are using on your mobile calculates that from the heart beat it counts.

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

Still learning how to use it, but it tracks steps, miles, active minutes, calories burned and other things if you set them up. You put it on you somewhere (pocket, bra) and it will track this activity each day. I have already synched it to myfitnesspal and the new Aria scale that I just set up today. If you use myfitnesspal, it will add the calories burned from fitbit to your total calories allowed to give you a net consumption each day. I am still testing this all out, but I think it is a good way to track your activity, food and weight without having to enter information in multiple places. I like that the fitbit synchs to my computer and iphone via wifi. Still learning how to use it, but it tracks steps, miles, active minutes, calories burned and other things if you set them up.

Yes. You must have the exercise timer going, take your pulse it will show you what your heart rate is and how many calories burned. Can do it as many times as you like as long as exercise timer is going. Great watch for price paid. I

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!

No, the Fitbit Zip does not. However you can sync it with MyFitness Pal for the food and it will show calories burned vs. calories eaten.

I only use it while I work out to see calories burned during exercise so I know how much to eat to recover. I don't know how accurate it would be to monitor calories burned all day long as I doubt it takes in resting energy expenditure /basil metabolic rate.

No. It calculates the estimate by skin temperature, movement, and some other things through the sensor. I use both armband and a polar hrm and they are pretty much the same for my activity. Sometimes the hrm will be moreand ssometimes it's less.

Plug it in if you have the adapter and start peddling ... it beeps, it tells you in the green lighted bar sporadically how many miles you have gone, the calories burned shows up just above where it says: 8 week weight loss : on the solid plate below the green lighted readout bar. You have to turn it on by using the adapter or battery...I don't use batteries so I am unfamiliar with that process. HOPE I HELPED YOU. It is a sporadic read-out...it runs across the screen at random.

Yes. Calories is one of the items it monitors and shows on the screen. I've never ridden with it displayed, though. I usually have the 'clock' or 'distance' on display.

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.

No, though it will give a calorie burn count based on revolutions and resistance.

I have the female version (gray with pink stripe) forerunner 110 and it DOES track calories! It displays once you've completed your run and saved it. Calories will appear underneath your time when you view your runs under the "History" option.

It's definitely not this one. I've had to resort to "guesstimating" distance by number of steps taken using known distances to give me a target number of steps. Haven't been happy with this pedometer, but the price was good and accuracy isn't really a detractor for me as I just need approximate distances. Calorie counts? Forgedda about it!

Yes. Heart rate will be tracked even if you are standing still, and calorie burn is based on a complex algorithm based on your heart rate and time so it will work just fine in P90X. I've used it in various "classes" at the gym with great accuracy.

I think that is how it actually measures calories loss is by heart rate, but since it downloads the data, it doesn't show you anything real time. The Bluetooth version might, but I'm not sure. Its an awesome unit ... love it.

(9/4/2013) I think that may be something unique with the more expensive ones. I've found that with the cheaper ones, I have to wet my finger sometimes to get the rate to register. So far all my workouts have been rather sweaty but not overly heavy, so I guess it depends on how much sweat since I did read in the instructions not to submerge this one in water or take a shower with it or anything. I usually keep one of those dry sweat towels with me anyway (you know, the kind that wipe away your sweat but don't seem to ever get soaking wet no matter how much you wipe). I haven't had the watch for a full week yet, though, so let me put it through the wringer at my gym and out on the track a few times. Then I'll update on the results. Update: (9/18/2013) I've sweated up a storm with it and it keeps going. However, I'm a bit concerned with the accuracy of its measurements. I've had to set mine at the lowest sensitivity level possible and it still has a tendency to register almost double what a machine registers in burned calories. For example, I used the elliptical at my gym for an hour (using grips to register HR after having told it how much I weigh, etc.). I told the watch the same thing and used the finger pulse thing every 5-7 minutes during the workout. The HRs registered about the same on both the machine and the watch but the total calories burned was almost double by the time I made it to the end of the workout. My coworker bought one too, so I'm having her test hers out to see if she gets the same results then I'll report back again.

It is not "truly 100% accurate" but cose enough for most people's needs. A device that accurately measures your calorie burn is expensive and cumbersome and would need to measure more than just your heart rate.
