does it dispaly calories burned ?

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

It DOES show calories burned. The two people below are wrong. After you completed the workout you get a summary of how long the work was, how long you were in the "zone" (set up by you), avg hr, max hr, calories burned. I had this watch for about 4 years now.

No it doesn't display calories, but is syncs with most gym equipment that does. As a personal trainer, calories burned are usually an indication of what your heart rate has been over a period of time. That is the best indication, not what you see on a machine. Look up your desired heart rate for your age/weight on the internet... don't trust a gadget.

This unit works really well, however, the numbers it comes up with for amount of calories burned is faulty. I wouldn't buy it again

No, it does not count calories. It acts as a stopwatch and counts your heart rate.

Not at all! Although most of my testing is on stationary bike (with considerable instrumentation) neither stationary nor real bike even gets the calories burned to budge. Even pushing 200+ Watts and sweating like a pig, nothing. Without footsteps it records nothing. Now, interestingly - after hard bike workout then I can get on treadmill at minimum speed and zero incline and it records medium intense activity, where I'm clearly loafing. It also records elliptical at much lower rate than actual expenditure. Basically I think it's a glorified pedometer only slightly sensitive to energy usage. And customer support doesn't even respond to any queries about these issues. Not at all!

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

You can crank the resistance as much as you want. I ride it while watching TV and end up burning 600 0r 700 calories without realizing it. I keep mine on level 2 resistance only because I don't want to enlarge my thighs, just burn calories.

Yes, it will account t for calories burned while your sleeping or sitting at your desk. I thought my unit was broken, I would get ready to wear my FB and it would have the sleep calories already log on the unit.

Octobergirlfma, no it doesn't. It gives time, heart rate, and a few other things, but no calories burned.

Yes. Mine doesn't calculate the calories correctly or the mileage. There is something wrong with the panels with this model. I was extremely disappointed; however, I made a decision to keep it since it still gives a good work out.

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.

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 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.

It normally gets all the revs as steps, I have used it many times with an elliptical. But it doesn't know the difference between steps on an elliptical and regular steps to give you more or less calories burned.

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 calories burned by the user is a different (and greater) quantity than what is shown on the display. If you stop moving, the machine registers -zero- while you are still breathing and consuming calories (though not very many). However, the display is certainly useful in measuring your effort, and improvement as you get in shape.

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.
