I don't know the ans on how to convert heart rate for length of time into cals burned, but I know there are some HRMs that do it, so there has to be a math formula somewhere. The more expensive HRM will do it for you. But I would think it would have to do with the time you were at a certain heart rate, so you would have do to a bunch of calculations. Say one for the warm up, one any easier parts of the workout, one for the parts where you are really working, and one for the cool down. I think it would be easier to get the more expensive HRM, which is exactly why I haven't gotten one. I can't seem to get my debit card to give up the dough for that one. Maybe try a google search. There HAS to be a formula somewhere.

I don't know how right it is, but kinda interesting. Even if the calorie counts are right for the activity, they should be right relative to one another - walking vs running vs sitting. Interesting anyhow

I have a Polar F6 and it tells me how much calories I burned. What brand and model do you have? Maybe someone with the same model can help you out.
