does it count calories

If you set up an online account, you can log in and see how many calories you have burned on your runs. I have mine set up to sync to my computer and upload the data whenever I come near my computer.

Yes it does, it is not the best though because it is a little conservative but it does the work perfectly

It doesn't count your intake of calories, but with the right app it will track how many calories you are burning during physical activity.

This ped does measure distance & calorie count, but it also does a bunch of other stuff that I don't need. It also is set up to show the time of day... but that has become wrong, probably due to being shut down for awhile... and now I can't figure out how to reset it to the correct time.

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.

I think that is how it actually measures calories loss is by heart rate, but since it downloads the data, it doesn't show you anything real time. The Bluetooth version might, but I'm not sure. Its an awesome unit ... love it.

It DOES show calories burned. The two people below are wrong. After you completed the workout you get a summary of how long the work was, how long you were in the "zone" (set up by you), avg hr, max hr, calories burned. I had this watch for about 4 years now.

You have to wear the chest strap for it to indicate your heart rate. I do not think this device would register calorie burn.

No, it does not track steps or miles, just heart rate. But it keeps track of your calories burned, hours spent in activity and how long you are in your target heart rate zone.

Yes it sure does. It tells you the amount of calories that you have burned and is read as kcalories.

Calories yes! But the heart rate you need an ANT or Bluetooth HR monitor in addition to this device. I have to advise in good conscience that I returned this device TWICE after weeks of trying to make it work. The issue was the wildly off distance and GPS readings, it would under-report by a couple of miles, the motorolla customer support didnt have a clue why its happening. I returned the original one with the hopes the replacement will work but same issues. Its a shame, the device is beautiful.

Yes it will track calories. But why would you buy gps tracker just to track cals. See Times hrm.

Yes...and no. It counts Kcals for steps (running or walking) taken...so if you are on...say a rowing machine, the count will be off.

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.

It does ask for weight, but I always take calorie counters with a grain of salt since there's no REAL way of knowing just how accurate it is. I've found that if I do the same workout on this machine at home as I do at the gym, they're usually within about 50 calories of one another.

I think it does but I can't be sure..... Hmmm I'm sure it does, I used it while on deployment and I remember monitoring calories burned during my workouts.

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.

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.
