Does the monitor track and display calories burned?

Heart rate only. You want something like the Nike fuelband or fit it for tracking calories burned.

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.

No, but the ability to log your activities has a section where you can chart non-walking activities. If your bike is at the gym you should be able to estimate how many calories you burn, as most gym bikes have this. Then enter it as an activity along with the calories and you can make it a "favorite" so you can enter it each time.

If you set up an online account, you can log in and see how many calories you have burned on your runs. I have mine set up to sync to my computer and upload the data whenever I come near my computer.

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

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 seems to measure your calories burned based on you checking your heartrate. I have noticed while in the midst of exercising and I check my heartrate with the watch, after it gets a clear read on my heart, the calories burned display shows either more or less calories in the totals.

Hi Sandra - this watch (the Polar F7) will allow you to view the calories burned, as well as your heart rate and zone. The data for these are on different screens, so they won't show simultaneously, but you can view the information easily by scrolling through the screen displays. (I believe there are around five screen displays, showing time of day, calories burned, time spent exercising, heart rate/zone). Good luck!

yes it does. display shows steps, remaining steps to goal, distance, calories, time, and date.

It can be used to track calories burned while walking. Doesn't count steps taken

It comes with a strap with this piece that you snap on it and wear it in the middle of your chest. They actually sent me a new one because it just wasn't working right and I still have the same problem. Basically, I cannot see the calories burned while I am working out and that is the main reason I wear this monitor. I really want to see how hard I'm working out during my workouts. I can't see the true calories burned until I end the workout.

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

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.

You have to wear the chest strap for it to indicate your heart rate. I do not think this device would register calorie burn.

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

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

I'm not aware that it will track calories burned, however, it is a great heart rate watch.
