Active calories way too high

Hi, 

I've noticed that sometimes active calories are completely off, here's an example. I had a rather average day yesterday with a 50 min run and 14 000 steps overall during the day.

Heart rate went to 159bpm once (during the run) but stayed below 120 the rest of the day.

The run is given for 530kcal, and my resting calories are around 2080kcal each day. However, Connect is saying 2744 active kcal for a whopping total of 4819kcal during the day. The day before was already quite high for no apparent reason. 

I really don't see where this could come from.

Using an Epix Pro Gen 2, software version 25.11, with Connect 5.24. I had my HRM 600 during the run.

Thanks 

  • Is the HRM 600 paired with Garmin Connect? Some users reported similar problems, and the excess Calories came from the HRM syncing them to Connect. Normally, it should not happen, Physio TrueUp should take care of it, and personally I do not see it happening with my HRM 600 (though I have a different watch), but I recommend that you remove the HRM from Connect, and then test again. You should also contact the Support and report it to them.
