Does it tell you the amount of calories burned?

Yes, it tells the amount of calories burned. It tracks steps, distance, calories burned, and fat burned.

Yes it sure does. It tells you the amount of calories that you have burned and is read as kcalories.

Yes if you wear the band. This is only a display of your numbers. You MUST wear the Body Media armband. The display will then show your calories burned. It's also easier if you purchase the monthly online service because it will show in graphs, etc. how you are doing, including sleep. Again, this is the display only so it doesn't track anything unless you wear the band. I use a different device now but I have always said that the Body Media armband is the "cadillac" of calorie/step monitors. Amazon sells the armband from Body Media. Check that out to get the full scope of information.

Nope. You have to find an online calculator to calculate calories burned based on heart rate.

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

This watch doesn't count calories. It tells you the calories you've burned according to the steps you've taken in a given time. Say you walked/ran for 30 minutes and that was roughly 3000 steps (I am guessing here) it would say you've burned 200 calories (again a guess in the number) hope this helps

not sure what you mean by metabolism. But if you are asking whether it tracks calories burned - then yes. And it does it two ways. First it has a baseline that is determined by the height and weight information that you enter. And then, when you take your heart rate - it will calculate the calories based upon that for a time period (not sure how long it takes to go back to the baseline). It's the only one I found in this price range that does that.

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

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).

While the watch can calculate (recorded to be exact) heart rate during any activity (given the HR strap is used), i'm not sure whether the calories burn calculation is accurate. You can check TomTom watch's FAQ or ask the question directly.

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.

It's keeps track of calories burned and gives you the percentage of fat burned.

It will since you are moving more it will assume you are taking more steps. Where you will see this is in the active mode? The application for this calculates a number of things, steps, miles, active minutes, calories burned, sleep activity. I only do steps and miles. Calories isn't good because it does this by calculating what it believes someone with a specific weight would burn over a given period of time. Actually if you sat on the coach and swung your arm back and forth it will assume those are steps as well.

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.

No it doesn't. It has 3 possibilities for activities--steps, miles, and calories. It also will give heart rate by pushing and holding one button. I don't know how it calculates calories.

These GPS units will still calculate calories burned based off your speed and distance but it is a minimum calories burned based off the information and not accurate.

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

No. It's just GPS. It does estimate calories burned but I really don't know based on what, since this depends much more on intensity of work rather than time...
