I am very skeptical of its ability to count calories by (supposedly) using electricity to monitor changes in blood glucose. If it could do this accurately, it would be a game-changer for many, especially folks with diabetes, and the product would be far more popular.
From this review, it looks like the estimates could be off by as much as 20%, which is far too wide a margin of error to be useful, in my opinion.

Fraud. Two people can eat exactly the same meal, with exactly the same calories, and one will have blood glucose that moves very little, while the other can have BG that goes through the roof. And everything in between. This gadget would count wildly different calorie intakes for all those people.
There really isn't a magic gadget. I love my Fitbit -- it helps keep my activity up on days I otherwise would be more sedentary. But the calories counts it gives me, I just ignore. They aren't close to being right.
