I have an inspire 3. Fitbit tells me my average steps per day for the week is 8952 with calorie burned at 2785. By any other calculator it should be more like  360.

I have done a restart on the watch but still  way off.

@reedvern Fitbit is showing you the calories that you burn from activity plus your Basal Metabolic Rate (or BMR). Your BMR is the calories you burn just staying alive. If you think that is being calculated incorrectly, you can check that your weight and height are correct in the Fitbit app.
