Calorie Overestimation on charge 6

[Raneklav]

I just got this charge 6 and I'm wearing it today and it's calculation of calories seems outrageously off.

From 9am-10am it thinks I burned 487 calories. I spent about 20 minutes escorting a snow blower through light snow. It was not hard work. If I go to spin class and the bike says I burned 487 in 50 minutes I'm drenched and tired.

From 9pm-10pm it thinks I burned 357 calories. I walked for 3 minutes at 4mph and ran for 10 minutes at 7mph.  I'm 5'10, 185. That should be about 160 calories (22 + 138).

Why is the watch so wrong and is there anything I can do to fix it? The whole point in getting it for me was to more accurately track energy use.

Hello @Raneklav 

I moved your post from the Get Moving forum to the Charge 6 Product help forum where you're more likely to get help from other users.

Since I personally don't track calories, I can't help with your question.
