Vivoactive HR

Former Member over 8 years ago

Hi All,

I dunno if this is the right forum for my question, please excuse me if it isnt.

I recently purchased the new Garmin Vivoactive HR and have a question regarding the calories it posts to MFP. I have noticed that if i activate an activity such as running on the watch it will log my calories for that event. Same for biking etc. I have also noticed that during these activities my step count is also being affected and i get calories posted based on my step count for the day.

Now my concern is that im being "rewarded" for both the excercise and steps, wouldnt the calories given to me for steps already be given to me for the running :sF

Thanks

Tip of the iceberg. The more you use the watch and apps the more you'll see how really inaccurate all the stats are. It's a real shame.

You may want to disconnect from MFP for a bit and see what the watch decides on it's own (MFP isn't bug free by any means!)

The Garmin data is accurate, and after you understand that, reconnect to MFP, as you will probably have to change a few settings there....
