Active Calories not correct

Hello all,

I have been encountering the below problem on my vivoactive 4s for these past 2 days. I had a workout in which totaled to 500cal. During the whole day I only burnt a total of 504 active cal according to the watch. It's extremely impossible that I only consumed 4 active calories during the whole day. - same with yesterday - is anyone else having the same issue please? I usually burn around 100/200 cal on any given day without including a workout.

thanks

Maybe your 500 calories for the workout is including passive calories?

no it's only active calories in this case - the passive ones(resting calories on vivoactive) are working fine

How do you know that? Have you tried to start an activity and let it record calories for an hour without doing any exercise? I think it records active plus resting calories.

because i have had the watch for 2 years - and this change has only been happening for the past 2 days - my active calories are always recorded including the workouts i do- so normally for a day i get 500 + 100 (for example) active calories, without including the resting ones.

this morning i had a workout where i burnt 300 active calories(showing on the activity), but my active calories ingeneral on the watch are 235

I tried the same. Took a lazy morning walk that recorded 270 calories, and the total active calories for the day are less than 200 so far. That tells me that the 270 calories reported from my walk includes the resting calories during the activity. For me, the resting calories are around 87 per hour.
