Does it track total calories burned even when not continuously taking heart rate?

You put your fingers on it at intervals. It worked great for about a month. Sweat interferes with it now and I am disappointed.

Don't know. I only use it for heart rate to check my pacemaker's function while walking in the morning. Digits too close together to easily read. Just OK.

This particular Fitbit will not track calories when not moving. It is primarily a pedometer. Fitbit does have other gizmos that can measure you when you are sleeping.

as far as i know this watch/health pedometer does not show heart rate. it shows calories, steps and miles and time.

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.

Hi, I believe calories are only displayed after you have finished training. During training, time is displayed as well as heart rate. Heart rate is on a linear scale with designations for fat burning levels and maximum heart rate level. I also use Cardio Trainer (app) on my smartphone when I run or bike outside. And I use My Fitness Pal (app) as well (after workouts) to track things like calories, exercise. Hope that helps. Kathy

Yes it includes speed, cadence and heart rate. Also calories burned but I question it's accuracy because its calorie number is alor less than the numbers I get with Polar and Sigma monitors.

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.

Yes it does. I just got mine going 2 weeks ago. I like it. It is several programs or you can ride manually. It does track calories, has a timer, a pulse rate monitor and can be used to give a recovery report based on pulse. The calorie counter is the 3rd number from the bottom in the functions it is monitoring. My calories counter always runs when in use in the manual mode and I assume always.

I do no think it counts calories. It does a great job of heart rate. Telling time. Stop watch and others. Way to use I have a separate device I use for calories. Put a new battery in it pretty quick. Mine went dead fast with the original but great after replacing

If you remain active while wearing the monitor it will calculate calories burned. Just remember the strap runs on a watch type battery and longer it calculates information the faster the battery will expire.

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.

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. :)

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)

The 305 doesn't calculate calorie consumption based on heart rate. It used distance traveled, weight and age in a similar way that a treadmill does. You can run inside on a treadmill using the footpod accessory, which calculates distance without the use of the GPS. (similar to the Nike product). The footpod works very well and will give you your desired results. This is clearly stated on the Garmin site within the features of the product.

I attach it a few inches above the back of my knee when cycling and it's able to measure something. I can't say how accurate the burned calories are but it seems like it's close (comparing what it says to myfitnesspal's moderate cycling--my pace--for 45 minutes gives about the same numbers).It would be helpful if someone with a heart rate monitor compared its calories burned with those burned using the BodyMedia on the leg. I'm betting they won't be identical but will be pretty close.

No. It just logs the data and you can see it in graph form after you upload it. You need a HRM watch to see your heart rate as you exercise. Here's a link to a wide range of HRM's... http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_24?url=search-alias%3Dsporting&field-keywords;=omron%20heart%20rate%20monitor. You can get a good one for $35 (Omron). If you want GPS or more workout information then you pay more for a Garmin or Polar (or similar) unit.

Not that I know of but the heart rate will link with certain gym equipment. You can enter the data in a fitness app though.
