Do you only get the calorie's burned reading with the Heart rate monitor watch, or does the non heart rate monitor watch tell you calorie's burned as well?

These GPS units will still calculate calories burned based off your speed and distance but it is a minimum calories burned based off the information and not accurate.

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.

Nope. You have to find an online calculator to calculate calories burned based on heart rate.

There is a defect in these watches. Mine was the opposite my heart rate was rarely target or high when working out and ut qould say I was burning 10000 to 140000 calories on some days, which is impossible. I had to return mine.

I have only used mine for running. It shows your calories burned on the display, however the heart monitor is sold separately.

The heart rate monitor goes around your chest and the watch is worn on your wrist. You can just wear the watch w/o the chest strap but it won't monitor your heart rate or calculate your calories.

While the watch can calculate (recorded to be exact) heart rate during any activity (given the HR strap is used), i'm not sure whether the calories burn calculation is accurate. You can check TomTom watch's FAQ or ask the question directly.

I have never used it to count calories actually I used it as a timer, a watch and a heart beat monitor. it did that well when it was working

as far as i know this watch/health pedometer does not show heart rate. it shows calories, steps and miles and time.

Yes, if you connect it to My Fitness Pal it will tell you you have burned so many calories and now have them to enjoy! There is a fork and knife on the UP application that you can put your foods eaten into. I haven't used it, but it tracks your foods. It is seriously one of my most favorite posessions, and many people at work are now wearing them.

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.

Yes it does after you set the timer to begin your workout and while your working out and you take your heart rate it will show you how much you have burned and than it will go back to timer and keep recording until your finished, I love mine and wear it all the time for any workouts I do!

The watch will tell you how many calories you burned..as far as how much you EAT (take in) ..NO. I give this watch a B , it's good to keep your heart rate on check and tells you how long you've been working out and how many calories burned. So, YES it will tell you how many calories burned...you just got to read the manual as it can be confusing ..and make sure you wet the band ..hope that answers your question.

No heart rate monitor is required. It will read your heart rate while on your wrist. It tracks your calories by how much it estimates based on your movements. So even if you dont wear it, you will find estimated calorie burn in your watch. If you are looking for actual calorie burn while work out then this watch is not helpful. Also step counter is not accurate. It sense based upon the movement of your hand not step.

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.

Yes, it is like starting a stop watch/timer. Once you click to begin the workout, your heartrate is continously monitored until you stop the tracking by ending the workout on the watch. This is much better than any other heart rate tracker, and I compared results from the MIO to a standard heart monitoring device with a chest strap. The results was almost identical. Calories burned is slightly off from other devices.

No. And it doesn't do calories burned. It does not have a heart rate monitor. If it has this feature, I never paid attention to it because it was not something that was/is important to me.
