Is it good for weight workout calorie count?

Yes, it does a good job. To get the most accurate reading, I suggest you get the new and improved chest strap as sold on the Amazon site. Is well worth the $18.

For your second question, I've used it when my power was out, and although it did move, I wasn't able to increase the resistance, view calories burned, and view all the other features that I've grown accustomed to seeing. So to answer your question, yes you can use it, but without being able to increase the resistance your workout won't be as effective. Sorry

I use my polar f6 for swimming in the pool and it measures my heartrate well. I do not know if the calorie count is accurate in the water since heart rate usually lowers. Maybe I just need to work harder?

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

Yes, but to get accurate reading you must touch the screen during your workout to get precise calorie burn reading.

Yes, it can also give the same results in the metric system, as can most of their other models. Hope this helps and I wish you the best in your exercise and calorie tracking.

Yes. I use it for my most intense cardio sessions. Drink 15 mins before, it works fast!

Wow...I have no idea! You may need to check a website that has a list of calories for each exercise. Sorry couldn't help you more. Great for toning.

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.

Yes, but like all exercise it depends on the length and intensity of your workout. Since you cannot increase resistance or elevation on the machine you might try faster pacing and hand/legs weights to increase calorie burn. Also experiment with different hand holds and leaning.

Yes, if you connect it to My Fitness Pal it will tell you you have burned so many calories and now have them to enjoy! There is a fork and knife on the UP application that you can put your foods eaten into. I haven't used it, but it tracks your foods. It is seriously one of my most favorite posessions, and many people at work are now wearing them.

When i wore this device with the heart rate monitor and did crossfit, it said i did 68 calories for a 17 minute session, so i dont believe it does monitor calories very well unless your covering a distance. crossfit is a high intensity constantly varied workout

This solely won't help you lose weight. I use it with a workout while trying to burn fat, but retain muscle. If you want to lose weight, I recommend using the myfitnesspal app (http://www.myfitnesspal.com). It does take work because you do need to track all of your calories of everything you eat per day. It gives you a caloric goal to lose 1-2 pounds per week. I've lost 35 pounds with the app. Do research about why protein is important in a diet and use this to achieve your daily protein requirements.

I think so cause the piece that clips onto the chest strap measures your heart rate. That's what helps it read your calorie burn more accurate.

I have had luck using the supplement in combination to tracking calories on my fitness pal. I would like to say I have been successful in increasing my exercise level, but alas that would be a lie. I have done the calorie thing before but always got frustrated and quit because there was little progess and I was hungry all the time - which led to cravings and snacking. With the supplement I have found it easier to skip the snacks and not be thinking about food all the time.

You actually can use it for both pre & post workout. But, if you do decide to do that make sure you eat something light before the pre-work. For post workout drink fortress once again, but along with heavier food thats healthy.
