With regard to calories, does it consider your weight in its calculation?

Yes. This pedometer has settings for height, weight, and also your step stride length. It can track your activity all day to give you results for the entire day. It also has a memory function to keep past re-outs.

I am not sure, but one of the items you input when you set it up is your weight.

I think it does. I had to input my weight when setting it up so I figured it was to calculate calories lost.

Yes you can enter your weight. It also does tell how many calories are burned based on speed and distance.

It calculates calories based primarily on weight and distance (with an age adjustment, I believe). It uses relatively simple formulas just like a treadmill. That's fine for running and walking. It's not going to do much for you in most other workouts.

It does, but showing you tentative calories lost is just a way to fool yourself into thinking you actually DID lost that many. It is highly inaccurate for many reasons, as some people lose more or a lot less depending on their exercise level. Moreover, you continue to lose after your work-out which may also account for additional calories lost. Do not rely on it.

No. And I luv it! Make sure big toe and heels R on metal. And weigh 2-3 times to confirm accuracy. I skip my nutritionist thanks to this scale :D

In pounds?? No, but there is a conversion chart supplied with the instructions. Just do a little basic math and you're good. As for kCals, after the research I did, I found out there is no real difference between "kCalories" and "Calories" when it comes to weight loss. So just count whatever kCals you've burned as regular calories.

Your weight, body fat %, and water % will be displayed on one "screen." Then it will flash and show your estimated daily calories. It also determines your fat % category (Low, Optimum, Moderate, or High/Overweight). There is an option for athletes which can have % fat overestimated. Lastly, unless they made an improvement since my purchase last spring, it does NOT calculate BMI.

Hi. The watch tracks your distance and strokes. You program your weight into the watch in setup, and the owners manual says that it uses this information to calculate calories burned based on distance and body weight.

yes it does. it assumes a certain amount of calories burned based on the profile you fill out, i.e. your age, height, weight, whether you are mostly sedentary (have a desk job, etc.), then will add to that amount if you do certain activities, which you can log -- riding a bike for 30 minutes, run on a treadmill, etc. The Zip doesn't track your sleep, but I wear mine anyway at night, and when I get up in the morning, for example, after only a few steps it already had logged 300+ calories burned, so yes, it estimates normal activity throughout the day. If at the end of the day you haven't logged enough steps, though, I believe it will adjust. yes it does. it assumes a certain amount of calories burned based on the profile you fill out, i.e. your age, height, weight, whether you are mostly sedentary (have a desk job, etc.), then will add to that amount if you do certain activities, which you can log -- riding a bike for 30 minutes, run on a treadmill, etc. The Zip doesn't track your sleep, but I wear mine anyway at night, and when I get up in the morning, for example, after only a few steps it already had logged 300+ calories burned, so yes, it estimates normal activity throughout the day.

To be honest with you I don't recall.. I can't imagine that it does not, but I was not satisfied w/the results in pounds (when compared to other scales I had) so I returned it for lack of accuracy.The lack of accuracy would have reflected both in pounds and kilograms so the issue was moot to me.I highly recommend that you read all reviews before deciding to buy this product!

To quote the manual it has a Total Excersize Time & Calories burned setting (CA) Says it uses an advanced algorithm based on your personal Profile to estimate your maximum heart rate and calculate calories burned. If that will work with weight training as well as cardio I'm not sure.

BMI is calculated/reported after your weight on the scale itself. The app only tracks weight and BMI, but you can always export or transmit the data to other apps that may calculate out water, bone & lean mass for you.

Yes, it can give your weight in pounds, to the nearest 0.2 lbs. There is also a button on the back to select kg or stone.

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.

The instructions for the computer indicate that it does have a calorie accumulator. But I have not tried to use this feature.

No, it actually estimates body fat which is far more useful to evaluate progress. BMI is a statistic used to measure likelihood of excessive body fat.

You are able to enter your weight (between 66 pounds and 330 pounds), which allows it to calculate how many calories you burn during your activity. Heart rate is displayed in real time as you are working out.
