Does this model remind you when you are sedentary for more than a set time?

Unless I missed something in the directions, it doesn't remind me when I'm idle, but when I sync the Polar bracelet at the end of the day, it shows on the diagram, all the time periods that I've been active or inactive.

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.

yes it does. it assumes a certain amount of calories burned based on the profile you fill out, i.e. your age, height, weight, whether you are mostly sedentary (have a desk job, etc.), then will add to that amount if you do certain activities, which you can log -- riding a bike for 30 minutes, run on a treadmill, etc. The Zip doesn't track your sleep, but I wear mine anyway at night, and when I get up in the morning, for example, after only a few steps it already had logged 300+ calories burned, so yes, it estimates normal activity throughout the day. If at the end of the day you haven't logged enough steps, though, I believe it will adjust. yes it does. it assumes a certain amount of calories burned based on the profile you fill out, i.e. your age, height, weight, whether you are mostly sedentary (have a desk job, etc.), then will add to that amount if you do certain activities, which you can log -- riding a bike for 30 minutes, run on a treadmill, etc. The Zip doesn't track your sleep, but I wear mine anyway at night, and when I get up in the morning, for example, after only a few steps it already had logged 300+ calories burned, so yes, it estimates normal activity throughout the day.

When you wear it on your shoe, it recognizes the circular movement, I guess. If you cycle/walk/run for over 10 minutes in a row it counts this as a workout, if not it just counts steps.

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

Try the SportCount Countdown model.... it is made specifically for PT. You can set the time for two minutes and do as many sets as you like.

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 gives the time as default, you push a button to see steps, miles, and calories, and the time comes back after a little. There's also a button to light up the face momentarily.

I think so cause the piece that clips onto the chest strap measures your heart rate. That's what helps it read your calorie burn more accurate.

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.

No! That's the beauty of Fitbit!!! Just put your info in & your good to go. I generally charge it up once a week so it is very easy to use. Happy walking/running!

Steps is what it measures, and rigorous steps are rated higher on the scale, so it depends on whether I'm really punching it or meandering. It tells me what time it is, but I don't think it actually tracks time. Sorry, not really an expert; chek the stats on the web site. The smiley face knocks me out; it also has one with its tongue out and a frowny face when I let it set incactive for too long. The comfort is great; I never even know I have it on.

Yes, it tracks seconds when you use it as a standard watch and when you track workouts.

I use mine continuously while exercising! Just a glance at your finger and you have your readings!

I extensively tested wearable trackers both on the wrist and below the waist. Worn on the wrist I consistently lost 1000 to 2000 steps daily. So if you fall short of your goal, you may have actually hit it.

I just took a look at mine. I don't see a timer per se. But it will tell me how long I was walking (in minutes) and how many minutes of that was aerobic (based on steps per minute).Not the more complicated technical device of its type I'm sure, but very informative for me.Hope that helps.

It does. You can set it to say the time of day and date, and scroll through calories and steps on the main screen. It can also do military time.
