calories burned

[vcFB]

I don't think the FB Charge 6 is calculating calories burned correctly. I walked 36 minutes, 1.6 miles, Avr pace 22'/mile, 3600 steps and it's showing I burned 241 calories.  I checked this with a few websites that calculate calories burned and the FB is close to 140 calories too high! Actually I'm starting to doubt all the calculations it's generating.
Thoughts ?

Websites won't know how much effort you put into the walk. Do the same walk, same pace a few times and see if the Charge 6 is consistent.

I'd believe the Charge 6 over the website calculators. The calorie consumption is based on your weight, and heartrate too, which those websites don't have.

Yeah I get it, thanks for your thoughts.

I guess I have a hard time believing a person can burn that many calories walking moderately. I did my weight training today, 50 min avr HR = 112 peaking at 135 at times and I only burned 372 calories.  Another interesting tidbit - when I walk, I get intermittent heart rate reading in 135 range. I know for a fact that is wrong. ( my resting HR is around 48- 52 when I'm at 135 I can feel it). Anyway I guess it's only a rough estimate and I should count on a 20% discrepancy.

I've been doing that evening walk pretty constantly. The numbers are always in that ballpark. Tonight I'm going to have my wife wear it for our walk and see what it calculates.

Today's walk 1.9 miles 503 calories burned, heart rate peaking @ 150 ... ha ha yeah sure 150 HR strolling with my wife ...this thing is a joke.When I do my morning HIIT and I'm almost on the floor I'm lucky if I hit 140.
