Indoors I walk, and outdoors, I do run/walk combo. Will it know the difference and give me decent estimates of speed &amp; calories burned? TIA

I use it for the same reasons and after you calibrate the pod, it gives you a fairly accurate reading. I really like that it counts your cadence, it is a very good tool, especially for the treadmill. I hope this helps.

If you want you have the option to not choose a program and just set the speed and incline. As you walk you can track your distance, time, and heart rate.

If you mean you want to know how far you walked that time, it certainly displays that information on the screen. But if you mean cumulatively over time, it doesn't display that. Like other users mentioned in the comments, I've had trouble syncing the thumb drive to my online membership. For some reason, it never transfers the data. But I go online after each use and plug my information in (which really only takes about a minute or two) and the online system has kept track of my information for over 2 years now. So I can see monthly, yearly, and overall data on usage. If there's a way to track cumulative distance on the treadmill itself, I don't know about it.

Yes I think it only work on running because the GPS tracks ur movement and calculates the amount of calories used for that distance, speed, and time.

It tracks how many steps you have taken, how many miles you have walked, and calories burned in one day. It can also track your sleep patterns. You receive a weekly activity report via email. I just love it and it encourages me to walk more because I hate to get my average for the week down.

Yes, it does measure calories burned. . .I just can't say what it's calculated off of. It displayed calories burned for any activity, but I doesn't seem to be at a different rate for slow-paced walking vs. sprinting. I can't recommed this product for anything other than the clock.

Yes . Just calibrate it with the treadmill a couple times. Otherwise if you go outside as well it seems to take strides differently on the treadmill

For each run, it does calculate calories burned. But you cannot keep a running count of the calories.

This watch counts calories not matter what exercise you are doing, time working out is what counts for burning calories, biking, running, walking, swimming. It's the amount of time you are working out, not distance nor particular exercise. I'm a professional trainer and I should know! I you run 2 miles in 10 minutes or walk 2 miles in 1 hour the amount of calories burned are about the same because of the time spent working out, not the distance nor speed.

Yes and No. It will track your distance for the day and tell you what the number of steps equate to in miles. Online it will show a breakdown of how much time was sitting, walking slowly-moderately and/or running. If you make note of your number of steps prior to your run and immediately afterwards, you can figure out your distance by googling the equation.

It doesn't have an specific set up for walking, but it will monitor your heart rate and calories burned while walking

Yes, I just tried it to see. It will count distance,calories, pulse, everything in either direction.

Well, I've tried both but for me neither 1 has worked. Now it may work for you, but not for me. I eat right, even eat less, and exercised, walking mostly. Like I said it may work for you, but I wouldn't recommend either 1.

I might be wrong, but I think the top speed is 4mph. That might be something of a jog, but not really running. The speed increment is 0.1mph - it's really meant for walking / fast walking.

Not at all! Although most of my testing is on stationary bike (with considerable instrumentation) neither stationary nor real bike even gets the calories burned to budge. Even pushing 200+ Watts and sweating like a pig, nothing. Without footsteps it records nothing. Now, interestingly - after hard bike workout then I can get on treadmill at minimum speed and zero incline and it records medium intense activity, where I'm clearly loafing. It also records elliptical at much lower rate than actual expenditure. Basically I think it's a glorified pedometer only slightly sensitive to energy usage. And customer support doesn't even respond to any queries about these issues. Not at all!

Yes, you can track your distance, pace, BPM while running! I'm really happy with mine.

I use this if I work at home (I'm a programmer), or if I'm video gaming in my off time (I'm a gamer). I received mine late March 2014, and I've used it roughly 5 days a week since, for 1 - 4 hours each session (usually around 2 hours though). I usually walk at 2.0 mph. Using those ball park numbers, it gives an idea of the amount of miles I have on my unit at the time of writing this. I've had no issues, odd sounds, ect.
