does it reflect calories burned

Karen, The only thing it claimed to do was measure my pulse. It could only do that if I was sitting quietly. It would never register if I had been working out. It died the day after I got it.

It doesn't do anything accurately. If you want a heart monitor that works, don't buy this one.

No. However, I have had 2 (different colors) for more than a year - both still measure pulse accurately whether sitting or working out. Occasionally, I have to allow it to reset, if I have checked my pulse often during a workout. Not a big deal. I have overall been very pleased with mine.

There is a mode on the watch that will provide the calories used along with a bar graft indicating the intensity of your workout... 1 bar light workout, 2 bar moderate, etc. As far as knowing the accuracy of the reading on calories - the caloric result is based on the amt of time and your heart rate at the end of your workout session. If your finger is not dry or at correct pressure on sensor of watch, you can get a misread on your pulse. It took me a little bit to get used to the sensitivity of the sensor. It is satisfying to get the caloric reading after working out or biking, whatever.

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

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.

This watch doesn't count calories. It tells you the calories you've burned according to the steps you've taken in a given time. Say you walked/ran for 30 minutes and that was roughly 3000 steps (I am guessing here) it would say you've burned 200 calories (again a guess in the number) hope this helps

No, though it will give a calorie burn count based on revolutions and resistance.

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.

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.

When combined with the app MyFitnessPal. Then it will give you the calories burned. But it really doesn't know if your running or just moving your arm fast. It does a great job of tracking steps and movement during the day and sleep. But you have to tell it if your working out.

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.

No heart rate monitor is required. It will read your heart rate while on your wrist. It tracks your calories by how much it estimates based on your movements. So even if you dont wear it, you will find estimated calorie burn in your watch. If you are looking for actual calorie burn while work out then this watch is not helpful. Also step counter is not accurate. It sense based upon the movement of your hand not step.

not that I ever noticed but the dial does indicate the numerical setting - the display MIGHT show increase of calories burned as resistance is increased but darned if I know for sure. I just so far, have just increased the speed a bit but @ 75 years old just keeping a bit of conditioning. [trip when I walk - stroke]

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.

Yes it does. You will have to reset each day though cause if you don't it will keep count of calories burn all the time and doesn't reset itself.

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.

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)

Yes. The chest strap monitors your heart rate and that is how it calculates calories.
