I‘ve noticed that many of my workouts show really similar calories after I changed the workout type in the Connect app on iOS (I‘m using a Vivosmart HR+). Since I was suspicious, I made the following test. I recorded a 5min cardio workout and did nothing. The app showed 3 calories. So far so good.
But then I changed it to indoor running and — magically — got 35 calories. And when I then switched back again to Cardio, I ended up with 26 calories.
It seems to be as if — after changing the workout type — the app is calculating the calories only based on time and workout type, and not on my actual activity!
This is terrible and it happens regardless of which workout type I choose.
And since the HR+ itself lets me only choose 4 different workout types, all those fancy categories in the app are useless because choosing them in the app after the workout messes up and destroys my date.
Thos clearly seems to be a bug (and a huge one), but I didn‘t find anything in the forums. Does anyone have the same problem or ca reproduce this?
