does it count calories

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

Yes you do . It counts calories by heart rate. It is comfortable and you won't even know you have it on.

Octobergirlfma, no it doesn't. It gives time, heart rate, and a few other things, but no calories burned.

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...

No, it does not count calories. This is an old model computer and I'm not sure it's even for sale anywhere. I have three of these on three different bikes and one is a replacement for one that went haywire. My next one will use digital wireless signal instead of analog like the Vectra, which sometimes freezes up when I use a high-power headlight.

Yes, it does. Also the date, how many calories you have burned, how many miles you have walked, how many more steps to meet your goal and how many steps you have taken each day.

Yes it does. I just got mine going 2 weeks ago. I like it. It is several programs or you can ride manually. It does track calories, has a timer, a pulse rate monitor and can be used to give a recovery report based on pulse. The calorie counter is the 3rd number from the bottom in the functions it is monitoring. My calories counter always runs when in use in the manual mode and I assume always.

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.

This particular Fitbit will not track calories when not moving. It is primarily a pedometer. Fitbit does have other gizmos that can measure you when you are sleeping.

I think it does but I can't be sure..... Hmmm I'm sure it does, I used it while on deployment and I remember monitoring calories burned during my workouts.

Nope. It counts your steps without a foot pod. In addition, it keeps track of your calories and reminds you to move when you've been idle for too long.

Yes it does. Besides the number of steps it also provides the # of hours slept, how many miles you have walked and # of calories burnt.

I don't believe it's meant to be used for tracking a whole day's calories, only because you tell it when to start and then you have to hold the button down for it to take your heart rate and update. I stopped using it not long after I bought it. The batteries don't last long, which means it doesn't track correctly at times and loses the info.

Yes. Calories is one of the items it monitors and shows on the screen. I've never ridden with it displayed, though. I usually have the 'clock' or 'distance' on display.

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.

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.

It does not chart it. If you want to chart it do it yourself. I use mine to count the calories.
