Upgraded to vivoactive 4 and calorie count is higher than vivoactive 3.

For example Usually a 10k run would be about 800 cals for me but now it’s over 900 on the 4. Why is this? Is it using a different calculation or something.

You know devices are just guessing calorie usage? Its not some magic device that knows how your matabolism works.
Dude, garmin devices have no idea if you are sleeping or awake. And you teling me it can calculates how mutch calories you burn xD

100cals is nothing to cry about.

Surely it’s a calculation based on gender, age, weight, height and heart rate. So therefore should not change between devices as long as the equation is the same. Anyway I’m putting down to Christmas alcohol upping my heart rate. Did another run yesterday which was more normal.
