You have to push the mode button until your pulse come up the the cal shows up then it will tell the calories burned and the to reset the calories you need to do the same then press the set button and hold for about 20 seconds

It only works if you have your heart strap on, but you would push the bottom button on the right side of the watch. Continue to push the button until you see calories counted. It may take about 3 pushes of the button to get to it.

Just press mode one time and it will show you your HR then press the button "sel" until you see "cal" that will show you your calories burned and to reset it just press and hold "set" for a couple of seconds and you will be ready for a new workout session ;)

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

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.

I use runkeeper and mapmyrun. They both give calories burned; however, the purchased app gives more functions.

Same as below, adjust the sensitivity in the set up process. It is not perfect, running on the treadmill with my watch hand holding my hair off my neck and it missed counting steps. Pretty accurate though!

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.

There is no login that I saw on their site, but you do need an account to activate it. So, I believe it pumps the data to their server, but I don't believe you can download it, short of ...allot of coding. They do have some tricky algorithms based on how I am seeing my activity tracked (i.e. less activity points but more calories burned) so I am not sure the data would even be real useable if it was captured. But, I do love it! If you are looking for a way to mine your life data in other ways than intended, probably not the solution. If you are looking to track sleep, activity, and be encouraged to take an extra walk or a jog once in a while, it does that exceptionally well.

In case anyone is curious on how closely the BB and Go Wear Fit monitor calorie burning, I am in a boot camp style exercise class with another woman who wears a body Bugg. Our calories are nearly always within 5 of each other when we set them at the same time at the beginning of our workout.

It DOES take the Heart Rate Monitor into consideration. The vivofit estimates calories burned from activity in addition to resting calories (aka metabolic calories, aka being alive) calories. WITHOUT a Heart Rate Monitor the activity calories are based on steps (and height/weight/age/gender). WITH a Heart Rate Monitor the activity calories take heart rate into consideration. So at the end of the day you have a pretty accurate estimate of how many calories you've burned. (Well technically you have to wait until midnight because that's when the steps/calorie count resets.) There is a detailed review with more info here: http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2014/03/garmin-vivofit-review.html#how-calorie-tracking-works

Hi Anita!I did not keep the scale, I returned it, because it as NOT accurate. I compared the weight and body fat to other scales I have and use and it was off so it was of no use to me.However, from my recollection, it does NOT tell you how many calories to consume to maintain your weight.If you are interested in knowing that you can go to www.myfitnesspal.com or Calorie Counter, they are apps you can download to your phone or programs you can monitor via your computer. You can input your ideal weight and it will tell you everything you need to know: how many calories to consume as well as carbs, proteins, etc.Good luck!

When you're looking at the display with calories in the middle, click up or down. It should give you other sources for the main display.I have it set on distance. Once you've got what you want, go back to metrics/display. . Click left. You now have a choice of what to put in the upper left side of the screen. I chose duration. Then go back and chose something for the right. I picked pace. Then cycle back through and your watch should remember all three choices.

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.

Wow...I have no idea! You may need to check a website that has a list of calories for each exercise. Sorry couldn't help you more. Great for toning.

The answer is no but realistically there's no reliable calorie counter that is affordable. Besides it's irrelevant. Work out- burn calories.

Hi Cassie - sorry to say I lost nothing :0( I was hoping it would help - I exercise weekly and watch my calorie intake, so I was very disapointed. Even 10 lbs. would have been nice :0(

Get on the internet and get the instructions for the cc-rd430dw. They are on-line. I found those instructions to be complete and easy to follow. As others have observed, the instructions with the 410 unit are incomplete. I assume that the 420 instructions are also incomplete because, as I understand the 420, it also does not come with the heart rate sensor.

I have been using my fitness pal...(lost 65 lbs, gained back 30...currently lost 40) for over 2 years and love, but I don't know how to use the Tickr with it...or the wahoo blue that I have been using for over a year. I use the wahoo fitness program for all my exercise/run/walk/calorie burn count. I use my fitness pal to track my diet. They both work great for me!
