does this race trainer heart rate monitor count an individuals calories expended?

The answer is no but realistically there's no reliable calorie counter that is affordable. Besides it's irrelevant. Work out- burn calories.

I think the calorie count is way off. I used it a couple of times in kick boxing cardio class, which is really intense cardio, and it would only show that I burned like 350 calories. I'm sure its much more than that. If counting calories is what you really want I would get the strape that goes around your body instead of the watch. Its supposed to be much more accurate. Hope this helps!

No, the only way it will show calories burned is if you use a heart rate monitor

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

No in that it only displays info as it changes and is not recorded. I use it with my True treadmill to monitor my heart rate and allows treadmill to maintain desired heart rate during workout.

I have never used it to count calories actually I used it as a timer, a watch and a heart beat monitor. it did that well when it was working

Short answer: yes.Long answer: when you begin your work out, you hit a start/stop button. This starts a timer and begins keeping track of the various other things: calories, avg hr, etc. If you don't start the timer, you don't get those things tracked.It also has a lap button, to help with tracking pace, if you're a runner, swimmer or cyclist. I don't use that feature myself, so can't speak to it.

The calorie count is based upon the heart rate feedback from the chest strap. You cant have one without the other.

Yes, it is like starting a stop watch/timer. Once you click to begin the workout, your heartrate is continously monitored until you stop the tracking by ending the workout on the watch. This is much better than any other heart rate tracker, and I compared results from the MIO to a standard heart monitoring device with a chest strap. The results was almost identical. Calories burned is slightly off from other devices.

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

No, it stores min, max, average heart rate and calories burned (and percentage of fat) but there's no way to transfer that to a computer. Still a great heart rate monitor.

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.

Unfortunately, you cannot see calories burned during the workout while the chrono is running. When you hit stop, you can scroll to "review" and hit the start/lap button until it shows "total cal."

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.

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

When i wore this device with the heart rate monitor and did crossfit, it said i did 68 calories for a 17 minute session, so i dont believe it does monitor calories very well unless your covering a distance. crossfit is a high intensity constantly varied workout

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that question. I can tell you that this watch doesn't come with a heart rate monitor. I bought 2 of them. I'm not sure where Amazon got that picture from showing the watch with a monitor cord.
