Active calories are off

Former Member over 9 years ago

I have a fenix 3 hr and my wife has an vivoactive hr.
We noticed that that active calories are always less on our watches then in garmin connect.
Right now I was out for a walk and when I look at my active calories on my fenix 3 hr it says 244. When I sync with Garmin Connect it says 285 active calories in GC.
My resting calories are on spot. It´s just the active calories that are off. A few weeks ago this was not a problem.
Has something changed in the new software?
What active calories are the correct ones?

Same problem

Same for me. Vivoactive HR calories on the watch from an "activity" are 25% lower than from chest strap/Digifit.
