Weightlifting mode: Pause or not?

[NescoX]

Hello everyone, thanks for reading this post,

I recently bought a fitbit blaze, and I've been trying it out in full geek mode. One question that I do have concerns the weightlifting mode, and accuracy of calories spent. In any weightlifting session (mostly strength training) I do sets of 6 reps, followed by 1-1,5 minutes of pause. My question is, during these pauses, should I pause the fitbit weightlifting mode too, or should I keep it running until the last set of the last excercise is completed?

Hopefully someone experimented with this already. In any case, I welcome any feedback.Thanks in advance!

I lift for either half an hour or an hour depending on the day. I don't do "sets". I do 10 reps of one thing, then move on to another, then another, etc. If I need a breather, I take 30 seconds or so. I don't pause the tracker unless I'm stopping for a more extended period of time. If i'm stopping long enough for my heart rate to return to normal (going to the rest room, etc.) I'll pause it, but if I'm just grabbing a quick drink, no.
