Charge 6 - Calorie discrepancy between device and app

Hi all, 

Since the most recent update with my Charge 6 I have had a problem with calorie burn tracking.

 

The watch and the front screen of the app shows one number, but then the calorie graph shows a much lower count when you click through, and that's what food is being measured against. For example on one day, for the majority of the day the app was recording 75cls/hr burned, which is basically my sleep reading, despite being much higher and doing over 16,000 steps in waking hours.

Its very annoying and making calorie tracking pointless. Anyone else had this or got a suggested fix? 

Thank you, 

Laura

This continues to be an issue for many users as far as I have read. It would be appreciated if this were a high priority!
