Does the watch count your calories while you are sleep as well?

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.

No, and the battery lost power so fast, I nearly can't use it. It's keep in some drawer in my closet!

It does, the watch by itself will help you track distance as a GPS would, but any other information you need this sensor, it will help you track HR and calories burned, if you want an all day long monitor, you need the Nike Fuel band, though it is not as accurate as the Sportswatch+ the HR monitor.

In my understanding the watch is sensing my hand moving and assuming that i am walking if my hand has a wavy or rhythmic motion. So I'd think it will sense your lifting weights also as walking. Also hence the calories credited will not be corrected. ButI think their customer support can answer this best.

It does count calories burned. It also is a workout/run timer, counts steps taken and seems to be fairly accurate so long as you set it up correctly.

I'm not aware that it will track calories burned, however, it is a great heart rate watch.

It only works if you have your heart strap on, but you would push the bottom button on the right side of the watch. Continue to push the button until you see calories counted. It may take about 3 pushes of the button to get to it.

Yes if you wear the band. This is only a display of your numbers. You MUST wear the Body Media armband. The display will then show your calories burned. It's also easier if you purchase the monthly online service because it will show in graphs, etc. how you are doing, including sleep. Again, this is the display only so it doesn't track anything unless you wear the band. I use a different device now but I have always said that the Body Media armband is the "cadillac" of calorie/step monitors. Amazon sells the armband from Body Media. Check that out to get the full scope of information.

Yes, hours, minutes, seconds, date, steps taken, calories burned & pulse rate. I LOVE this watch!!!!

Yes. It records 12 hours of data so you can monitor your heart rate and blood oxygen through the night while sleeping.

I'm sure you can wear it to get a measure of your calories burned throughout the day, but I believe this device is most accurate when used during your workouts. However there are other devices that can do this for you -- I recommend checking out the FitBit. :)

No, it automatically tracks it for you as long as you have the watch on your wrist and turned on.

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

It seems to measure your calories burned based on you checking your heartrate. I have noticed while in the midst of exercising and I check my heartrate with the watch, after it gets a clear read on my heart, the calories burned display shows either more or less calories in the totals.

There is a mode on the watch that will provide the calories used along with a bar graft indicating the intensity of your workout... 1 bar light workout, 2 bar moderate, etc. As far as knowing the accuracy of the reading on calories - the caloric result is based on the amt of time and your heart rate at the end of your workout session. If your finger is not dry or at correct pressure on sensor of watch, you can get a misread on your pulse. It took me a little bit to get used to the sensitivity of the sensor. It is satisfying to get the caloric reading after working out or biking, whatever.

I do walk/run as well. The watch tracks distance, elevation, and pace speed. If you are behind, on, or ahead of the pace you set, the watch will alarm, and show which you are. Good Luck!!

The watch comes with a sensor and chest strap to monitor your heart rate, but you can choose to not wear the sensor and use it as a watch only if you wish. Cory is right; although the heart rate is accurately recorded, the calories burned is not. Don't rely on it for that.

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