Is there a way of displaying the heart rate with calories and time, this was a feature of another polar watch?

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

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

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.

Just press the MODE key, it will shuffle around to show distance, time, calories, etc.

Hello Beth,For the model I have (Model: 8RS00) there is an additional heart rate strap which needs to be purchased/worn to monitor heart rate. I think there is another model which has it built into the watch, but I'm not sure which one. I've really enjoyed this watch and for my purposes, running, swimming and biking, it's awesome. Good upload onto my iPhone App and good reports for distances, speed, etc. Hope that helps!

The watch comes with a sensor and chest strap to monitor your heart rate, but you can choose to not wear the sensor and use it as a watch only if you wish. Cory is right; although the heart rate is accurately recorded, the calories burned is not. Don't rely on it for that.

Yes. After your run, save it by holding down the "save/stop" button. When the watch goes back to its main screen (time , date, location) hit mode until you see " run data," select the day/file hit "ok/view" 3 times and the calories are the bottom number below your average speed.

I have only used mine for running. It shows your calories burned on the display, however the heart monitor is sold separately.

No. It calculates the estimate by skin temperature, movement, and some other things through the sensor. I use both armband and a polar hrm and they are pretty much the same for my activity. Sometimes the hrm will be moreand ssometimes it's less.

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

I have the female version (gray with pink stripe) forerunner 110 and it DOES track calories! It displays once you've completed your run and saved it. Calories will appear underneath your time when you view your runs under the "History" option.

The treadmill's console shows calories burned, steps taken, miles walked and other info. If you have a heart rate monitor will also display your heart rate. It is a good sturdy machine.

I use the Polar Heart rate sensor and the runtastic Cadence sensor. They are both reasonably reliable and would recommend them

You will need to attach the Polar device on your chest for monitoring your heart rate. It can only store one memory and will overwrite once you start the next exercise. No GPS, no able to transfer the date to your computer. Hope it helps.

The heart rate monitor comes with an adjustable strap. You wear the strap around your chest just below your bust. The monitor itself snaps to the strap and will then sync with your polar band. Very simple.

no calorie counter...no way to let the watch know what activity you are doing

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