Swim tracking - estimated calories a joke!

[Gs_62196]

Why is Fitbit app support SO BAD for swimming? First off, estimated distance is a joke with my device so I take it off when I'm doing laps.  But with my heart / activity, night and weight, you bet that should be able to provide a better estimate calorie burn, even when I manually track an activity. 61 calories for 2400 yards / 1 hour? You're kidding. It's not like I'm over here doing some niche activity, fix your data!!!!

Hi, @Gs_62196 & @amjad15 welcome. I'm a keen daily swimmer (two hours in the water and covering 3750 metres). I've used and compared Garmin, Inspire 3, PW2 and am now using the new PW4. The Fitbit devices give a consistent 20% reduction in calorie burn compared to the Garmin. I am content with this result, as when factored into my daily nutrition, I can reduce & gain weight as required. In the final analysis, our scales are the gold standard.

I hope this helps.

Cheers
