Firmware 4.40- active calories massively understated

NYanakiev7 over 5 years ago

Finally got back home after a long week.
I had my VS4 on my wrist all day and the stats are as follows:

-21,700 steps; 17.80km covered; 456 calories burned

FYI, I walk pretty quickly as a rule so the low active calories count surprised me; For comparison purposes:

Yesterday: 10,206 steps; 378 calories

Day before yday: 14,109 steps; 493 calories

Two days before yday: 16,800 steps 546 calories

Anyone else seeing this?

It is possible to have lower calories if the HR and speed were lower on 20000 steps than was on the 15000 steps. The higher the HR & speed (during walking), the higher calories reported.

That's a good suggestion but I normally walk at a pretty brisk pace.

The tracker recorded accurately the HR in 20000 steps? If so, I am no further ideas. For me, VS4 record HR accurately only a inch up from the wrist. I also shaved the area where the HR sensor touch my skin.

It is a good idea to start manually the walking sessions - for situations like this.
