How do HRMs count calories?

Which one do you have that is accurate for calories?

Are the calories burned the same for everyone based solely on HR or do your age, weight, gender, and height play into it?

    HRMs count calories based on your individual stats. When you get one, you program in your info and it totally goes based on age, weight, gender, etc. It counts calories burned based on how high your heart rate goes and stays in a calorie burn mode, and that will be different for every person and every activity.
