How accurate is the Venu for calories burned?

Former Member over 3 years ago

Hi! I was told that the Venu is not compatible to do a HIIT workout and to instead use the cardio activity if doing a HIIT workout. I did that and the calories burned for an entire intense HIIT workout (~50 minutes) seemed pretty off, only measuring 360 calories. Has anyone else had any issues with the Venu miscalculating calories burned for a HIIT workout (using cardio activity) or any other activity in general? How accurate is the calorie count measurement in the Venu?

I guess the Venu is basically a Vivoactive 4 with different display. My Vivoactive 4S tends to overrate heart rate and calories burned in the cardio activity. Other activities work fine. I guess the calories are computed based on your heart rate, weight, age and gender. If the heart rate is correct, the calories are probably quite close to correct as well.

You better ask in the Venu forum and don't crosspost all over the forums !

It was a mistake to post in this form, please don't react so strongly. I am switching over to the other Venu forum.
