Does this track your calories all day?

    I think it would if you left it on. I don't want to wear my battery down so I hadn't tried it.

    No it should not be used to track all day. I believe "FitBit" or something similar might though. The FT7 is best used just during your work outs. I have one, and I love it. I didn't need to track all day though.

    I only use it when exercising... and I love it!

    Yes. I've done this a couple of times with my F6 out of curiosity - it's been a couple of years so I've got no idea if it was anywhere near my BMR # but that would be a neat thing to test on a typical day.

    It can I suppose but it's for use when exercising. If you want an all day monitor I'd suggest a bodybugg or fitmedia(?).
