    I believe it does, I just looked at 70 minutes of running at a 10min pace and it said 902 calories. Then I entered a new weight much lower than my current weight and for the same exercise it said 721 calories.

    Well dang! That is why the estimates are so very high for my swimming laps! I had no idea it was set to a persons weight. Now it makes sense.
