is it can calculate calories after we work out?

No, unfortunately it does not. It is a very basic monitor. A good monitor to start with though.

It calculates calories based primarily on weight and distance (with an age adjustment, I believe). It uses relatively simple formulas just like a treadmill.That's fine for running and walking. It's not going to do much for you in most other workouts.

Yes. Heart rate will be tracked even if you are standing still, and calorie burn is based on a complex algorithm based on your heart rate and time so it will work just fine in P90X. I've used it in various "classes" at the gym with great accuracy.

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.

Yes, it continuously records your time, distance, pace, calories burned and heart rate. It calculates elevation as distance above/below sea level (as per the User's Guide)

It will since you are moving more it will assume you are taking more steps. Where you will see this is in the active mode? The application for this calculates a number of things, steps, miles, active minutes, calories burned, sleep activity. I only do steps and miles. Calories isn't good because it does this by calculating what it believes someone with a specific weight would burn over a given period of time. Actually if you sat on the coach and swung your arm back and forth it will assume those are steps as well.

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.

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

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

Yes if you buy the blue hr monitor you can monitor hr and calories burned ... You can also use almost any fitness app you have or want witch is a awesome plus . I just use the wahoo app it ended up being my fav app anyway ... I love this hr monitor I use it at the gym and when I road and mountain bike it is the greatest fitness tool I have ever bought . If you cycle the blue tooth cadence sensor is great too .

Yes. Calories burned are calculated based on your heart rate, so you must wear the chest strap to count them.

Yes, you have to use the chest strap to read your heart rate. It calculates everything (calories burned, etc.) from you heart rate.

No, and you don't need a "calorie counter". The numbers that heart rate monitors and exercise machines report as "calories burned" are basically just made up "estimates". Every body's metabolism is different, and even for the same person your metabolism does not work the same all the time. "Calories burned" is estimated so loosely that it is for all intents and purposes total guess work. Instead pay attention to how much time you are spending in your target heart zone. Your max heart rate is 208 - (0.7 x your age). Ultimately your target zone should be 70% to 80% of your max heart rate but you will of course have to start somewhere less than that and work your way up. You need to pay attention to how much time you spend in the target zone - 20 to 30 mins per day gives you the maximum cardiopulmonary benefit, above and beyond that is for endurance training or competitive purposes. This doesn't count stretching and warm up at the beginning or cool down and stretching at the end. All told, for cardio-pulmonary health, about an hour a day will give you most of the benefits possible. You can of course exceed that, but you won't get that much more in the way of cardio-pulmonary health. Regardless of how much time you spend working out, the "calories burned" estimates really don't mean a thing. Just train to your target zone, stay in there at least 20 to 30 mins, don't forget stretching and warmu-up/cool down, and everything will fall into place. Pay more attention to inches lost than weight loss - as you put on muscle mass, it takes up less space than the fat so inches will melt off faster than the weight. You are replacing flabby fat with firm muscle and the muscle does weigh more. Anyway you don't need to worry about "calories burned" - pay attention to your training zones because that's where the benefits are. None of these devices can give you an accurate estimate of how many "calories" you are "burning".

In pounds?? No, but there is a conversion chart supplied with the instructions. Just do a little basic math and you're good. As for kCals, after the research I did, I found out there is no real difference between "kCalories" and "Calories" when it comes to weight loss. So just count whatever kCals you've burned as regular calories.

Just press mode one time and it will show you your HR then press the button "sel" until you see "cal" that will show you your calories burned and to reset it just press and hold "set" for a couple of seconds and you will be ready for a new workout session ;)

Its in the paper that came with the watch. Basically through your workout , take your pulse. I usually do every 5 minutes. When you are done, press stop on "exercise" feature. Then press the button on the right for 2 seconds until little bars show up on watch. 5 bars. Lowest to tallest represents how hard you worked out. I do insanity and t25 so I keep clicking the right button BC is difficult. Then watch calculates your calories burned. Does this make sense? Hope it helps!!

No it doesn't. It does calculate the % of calories burned that come from fat though,
