Is this customized to your weight/height, etc for a more accurate count on calories burned?

Yes. There is a weight setting and it does count your calories. What I like most is that you won't be overwhelm with features.
284961
You can enter your weight in the watch as well as on Garminconnect. It doesn't take your height though.
284962
It let's you input your weight but not your height. I believe there in another model that would more acuratly track calories burned with a heart rate monitor and more personalized information.
284963
No. And it doesn't do calories burned. It does not have a heart rate monitor. If it has this feature, I never paid attention to it because it was not something that was/is important to me.
284964
No it's not but it is great for calculating moh and distance. I am an avid walker and this watch was well worth the $$. It does read in military time which I cannot figure out how to change but that is not a prob fir me

I've only been able to enter my weight. And my assumption is that without having a field for height it is not too accurate especially without the heart rate monitor feature. The watch is what it is. An inexpensive GPS watch that tracks your runs.

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 think it does but I can't be sure..... Hmmm I'm sure it does, I used it while on deployment and I remember monitoring calories burned during my workouts.

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.

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 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.

No it doesn't. It does calculate the % of calories burned that come from fat though,

Yep. Once you have it set up via the fitbit site and it knows your height/weight, the Zip shows you the following by default: Time, number of steps, estimate of calories burned so far today, distance walked today, and a "smiley face" that depends on how many steps you have walked. The calories burned and your distance is based on your height and weight and are not overly accurate. Via the fitbit site, you can have your Zip display all or any of these values. Very convenient once it is set up the way you like (a one time setup is all it takes).

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.

This one does distance, steps taken and calories. I always question how accurate the calories are on these little pedometers but then I question that on any exercise machines also. Let's face it, if we eat too much we know it.

No need for that. In general, it does a very good job counting steps. It has a default stride length that works well if you're close to average height for your gender; if you're particularly tall or short you can set a custom stride length in the online profile that you can set.
795845
Yes. Calories burned are calculated based on your heart rate, so you must wear the chest strap to count them.
1643381
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.
482894
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.

You have to wear to the heart strap detector to measure your heart rate and hence calculate the calories. I hope this helps.

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.

It will count the steps and base the calories, etc on steps, but whether it counts it as workout minutes depends on whether you move for 10 minutes straight without stopping. I have yet to have it pick up any of my workouts as "workout minutes/calories" because I do not move constantly when I am working out. I will admit that I am rather disappointed with this particular feature. I workout at the gym for an hour 2-3 times per week but because of knee issues, I use machines, so there are breaks between the exercises. Thus, my workouts never get recorded as such.
