Steps calories too high

Former Member over 5 years ago

Steps calories give abnormal calories burned, 756 steps gives 201 calories while should give around 30, 1462 steps gives 512 calories while should give 58.

Did a boot camp last night using both my vivoactive 4 and a Samsung gear fit 2. The Vivo said 632 calories whilst the gear fit just 327. I believe the Samsung more at this point. Is there something Erinn…

Same problem for me

I think my Vivoactive 3 is giving ridiculous values for "step calories." On days where I run, it seems to almost double-count, giving a daily number that is way too high.

Bump, please provide some solution This kills the purpose of having a fitness tracker, I bought this device to loose weight and get an estimation of calories Burned vs how much I can eat. If this estimation is not accurate this device is useless.

same with galaxy active 2. x2 times less than garmin. Overall along day - x3 times than samsung. I'm sure, it's wrong.

Where do you do this? This problem is completely rendering having a Garmin useless. I know I didn't burn 900 calories yesterday. I didn't even leave the damn house and I got 4000 steps. It's so absurd.
