[new Fenix owner]. I just used my Fenix for the first time on a bike ride. I also have an Edge 705 (old!). I like to track calories burned during activities, bike or other. I never used the figures on the Edge 705, as they seemed waaaay to high (and many others on the forum agreed with this). Now, my first ride with the Fenix 5, calorie calculation seems waaay too low! I have gathered my own figures from the web (averages) based only on rider weight, average speed, and time. So, that is pretty crude, does not include wind, hills, but it is in line with the usual figures you hear for calories burned on a bike. But, look at the three results i get for this 2h17m ride, average speed 11.9mph. They're not even in the same ballpark. Not even close!
Edge 705: 1,681 cal
Fenix 5: 738 cal
My own calculation: 1,346 cal
So, just wonder, do folks find the figure calculated by Fenix for calories to be good, usable, reasonable? Or, is there some consensus that it is too high, too low, too inaccurate, etc?
Thanks for your thoughts!
