Does the calorie counter take into account your weight and gender?

I don't believe it does, I bought it just for the heart monitor when working out.

Yes, when you first set up your watch you input your age, gender, height, & weight.

No and no. The scale sits on the floor and u hold the handles to get ur actual whole body numbers. Hope that helps

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

I think it does. I had to input my weight when setting it up so I figured it was to calculate calories lost.

Hmm...I think so. Does he still have the instruction booklet? I'd read up in that if you can. The only thing I can think may be off is maybe the target rates are different for men and women...but I really don't know. I think the treadmills at the gym do not ask if you are a man or woman...so it probably would be okay. I would give it a try and see if you notice anything wrong.

It let's you input your weight but not your height. I believe there in another model that would more acuratly track calories burned with a heart rate monitor and more personalized information.

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.

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.

Yes you can enter your weight. It also does tell how many calories are burned based on speed and distance.

Yes, it can also give the same results in the metric system, as can most of their other models. Hope this helps and I wish you the best in your exercise and calorie tracking.

As far as I know, it records the last weight measured and compare it with the current weight measured. It does not records anything specific to a person.

Each time you stand on it. It recognizes the person by the weight. Unless you have a significant weight loss in a short space of time, it will remember you. You also need to stand on it ( a few seconds) until it calculates the various functions.

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).

Hi Anita!I did not keep the scale, I returned it, because it as NOT accurate. I compared the weight and body fat to other scales I have and use and it was off so it was of no use to me.However, from my recollection, it does NOT tell you how many calories to consume to maintain your weight.If you are interested in knowing that you can go to www.myfitnesspal.com or Calorie Counter, they are apps you can download to your phone or programs you can monitor via your computer. You can input your ideal weight and it will tell you everything you need to know: how many calories to consume as well as carbs, proteins, etc.Good luck!

Yes. This pedometer has settings for height, weight, and also your step stride length. It can track your activity all day to give you results for the entire day. It also has a memory function to keep past re-outs.

No. It's just GPS. It does estimate calories burned but I really don't know based on what, since this depends much more on intensity of work rather than time...

Only if you wear the breast strap, which would be rather uncomfortable. I have the Basis now, which does that, but is not very good at measuring calorie consumption during activity. In any case, calorie count during sleep is rather uninteresting - the Basis shows I burned some 500 cal between midnight and 6:30 am and I would bet that this is within 10% of what it shows any other day, even after a hard workout when the actual consumption is higher.If you look for calorie count, I'd go with a Polar for workout and a Fitbit or similar with MyfitnessPal for the rest.
