Im using my suunto heart rate chest strap and on walk it gave me 260 cals and charge 5 gave me 90 cals

On my crossfit suunto gave me almost 600 cals and Charge 5 gave me 130 cals.

 

What is happening why the cals are so low on my charge 5

2 possibilities I can think of right off to check:

1) Check your weight in Fitbit; if it entered way too low, that gives lower calorie burn.  Could be a decimal point off or wrong units.

2) If you are relying on exercise auto-recognition, check in your exercise summary that the whole workout time was recorded.  If you used the Exercise App, that shouldn't be an issue because you tell it when you start and end.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
