Does it tell you the amount of calories burned?

Yes, it tells the amount of calories burned. It tracks steps, distance, calories burned, and fat burned.

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

Yes, and if something sounds too good to be true, then its probably false. The only calorie monitors that truly indicate an accurate measure of work are called ergometers. Those instruments are found only on fitness machines (usually stationary bikes) costing at least $2000. The reason why meaninglessly inaccurate "calorie monitors" abound is because customers still demand them. If a brand offers a "calorie monitor" on a $40 fitness machine then its competitors are forced to offer one too. They always give highly overestimated readouts, which makes the machine look (deceivingly) super effective for fitness. I never pay attention to "calories". I always set the consoles of my fitness equipment to instead display either time or cycle rate.

It tracks an "estimated" amount I think based on your height/ weight, and adds to this number based on your steps. So, yes, it records calories burned even while you sleep.

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

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.

You can do any excercise with it. Having said that, it will only tell you how many calories you've burned and what your heart rate it. There is not a function that will tell you how many stairs you've climbed or what pace you're climbing them.

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."

No, it does not count calories. It acts as a stopwatch and counts your heart rate.

Yep. Once you have it set up via the fitbit site and it knows your height/weight, the Zip shows you the following by default: Time, number of steps, estimate of calories burned so far today, distance walked today, and a "smiley face" that depends on how many steps you have walked. The calories burned and your distance is based on your height and weight and are not overly accurate. Via the fitbit site, you can have your Zip display all or any of these values. Very convenient once it is set up the way you like (a one time setup is all it takes).

The watch features a week-long bar graph that shows daily information (steps, calories, distance, sleep) but ONLY in graph form. I haven't found a way to see the numbers for those days (ie number of calories burned).

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]

You can "click" through while working out to see several different stats, with calories burned being one of them. You don't have to wait!

I think it does. I had to input my weight when setting it up so I figured it was to calculate calories lost.
709296
No it doesn't. It does calculate the % of calories burned that come from fat though,

Yes, it will account t for calories burned while your sleeping or sitting at your desk. I thought my unit was broken, I would get ready to wear my FB and it would have the sleep calories already log on the unit.

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 shows the number of steps taken, the cumulative distance traveled, and the amount of calories burned.
