Would this work to calculate heart rate and calories burned when weight lifting?

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.

It does. Provided you use this with a Heart Rate Monitor. You might want to consider the Multisport cardio which has a built in HRM.

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.

I use the app called digifit. I paid for all the upgrades...I think it was $8 and I don't know if I even use all those capabilities ! But that keeps track of heart rate and calories burned, I also have myfitnesstracker app and I can connect my calories burned into my daily food diary. It's really awesome all he stuff you can do. I love the Jarv!

I am sure it will. I am not sure what information you are wanting to track, but the FT40 will give you calories burned, time elapsed, minimum and maximum heart rate, percentage of calories burned from fat, daily & weekly summaries, fat burn/fitness percentages, etc. So with all of this information and more, I am sure it would be useful for HIIT programs.

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.

I don't think so. Whenever I use the pulse monitor to check my heart rate it gives me a ridiculous number like 93 in the middle of a cardio workout. When I use the exercise function it gives you a calorie burn number that sounds reasonable but there is no way to know if it is accurate because it is based on settings in the watch that are supposed to be described in a manual that I never received. I think it was a waste of money

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

Yes, It also tells how many calories are burned based on speed and distance.

I would think so. Depends on the functions you are looking for. Distance, pace, speed, etc all work great. FYI, the pace calculation is not instantaneous pace, but an average over about a minute or so.

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

No, unless it states that to does in the description. It does calculate your minimum/maximum heart rate and length of workout. This stored for reference.

Yes, it continuously records your time, distance, pace, calories burned and heart rate. It calculates elevation as distance above/below sea level (as per the User's Guide)

Sort of. I turn on the treadmill mode to track my heart rate, but I question how accurate the calorie count is. Also, the treadmill mode will think you are on the treadmill, so you would have to discard/ignore those metrics. When I log into the third party software fitness tracker "map my fitness" and put in the time spent weightlifting, it will automatically approximate my calories. A couple of side notes. Tomtom says that sometime in July they are adding a "generic" activity to monitor activities other than run, bike and swim--but they have not done so to date. However, for the time being, when I do a gym workout in treadmill mode, I then select training option "laps" and then select "manual". This way, after every set, I tap my watch to reset the lap timer to help me monitor the rest time between each set. So I track my heart rate, total time, and time between sets.

I'm sure you can wear it to get a measure of your calories burned throughout the day, but I believe this device is most accurate when used during your workouts. However there are other devices that can do this for you -- I recommend checking out the FitBit. :)

No in that it only displays info as it changes and is not recorded. I use it with my True treadmill to monitor my heart rate and allows treadmill to maintain desired heart rate during workout.

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

Highly doubt it. That was not my intention on using it, but I know whenever I am exercising at a high pace, this monitor malfunctions and gives a false reading. Not reccomended for high energy workouts.
