Same barre class exercise handled differently when logged on Android & iPad

[00hoya]

I'm really into Pure Barre, and I assume I should not wear my new Fitbit for the Pure Empower classes because being wrapped up in wrist weights might hurt it (but if it's working for anyone else, please let me know). I logged the 45 minutes of Pure Empower as a barre class yesterday on my Android phone and it was counted as 3 calories/minute and no active minutes..  Today I logged the same 45 minutes of Pure Empower as a barre class on my iPad and it was counted as 6 calories/minute and 45 active minutes.  Is this a known error (and is there a workaround), or could this have happened since before logging this morning's Pure Empower I used the workout app for the first time (with a Pure Barre Classic class) and calorie burn was calibrated more accurately because of it?  I lean more towards the error, especially since one class was counted as active minutes and the other wasn't.  Has anyone else experienced this?

HI there @00hoya, welcome aboard to the Fitbti Community! I was reading your post about the activities logged in your iPad and your Android and how the information are showing variations on your stats specifically in your calories and active minutes.

Usually this variations are not caused by the platform where you are logging the activity but are based on your daily activity since you are not using your tracker. The activity will be an average of your exercise based on your total count of your whole stats. To give you an example how the algorithm will compile your data, calories will depend of the amount of the steps you have and active minutes will be based on your amount of calories to  project an average on your numbers.

If you go back and review the days where is showing different data, you'll see the total count on the day you have 0 active minutes is because your calories are lower than the day you have more active minutes. Also since this is an activity that is not primary step-based, the information as I mentioned before is just an average not based in actual numbers capture by your tracker since calories, active minutes and other data will be based not only on your steps but also on your Heart rate if your tracker has this feature. If you want to review your days, I recommend doing this on your web-Dashboard since is more easy to spot these differences.

If you are not wearing your tracker due to the wrist weight, depending how much room you have left on your arm and the size of the wristband of your tracker, try to wear your tracker three fingers above the wrist bone and your wrist weight, this will improve the way how is reading your information your tracker and you will keep away your tracker from any damage that can be caused by the wrist weight. Is just a thought since I'm not sure how tick are the wrist weight.

Let me know if you have other questions. See you around!
