Calories count EDGE 810 vs Vivoactive 3

Former Member over 6 years ago

Hello all,
I'm a new VivoActive 3 user.
I've used it in a test ride with my e-mtb in parallel with the Edge 810 and while distance, HR and speed are really close, the calories count shows a huge difference.

832 C the VA3
648 C the Edge

Which one is the more reliable?
Is it possible to make the two devices closer to each other acting on some configurations/options?

Garmin calorie calculation live it’s own life. I had the same on VA3 and edge 1000. The edge always gave me much more calories burned, despite i always used a chest strap, and the settings was the same on both devices. So witch is right ? Probably none of them .
