In the last week, doing the same exercise, my calorie count has dramatically reduced. For example, on a 30 min walk I used to burn 200 calories but in the last week it’s reduced to 20 or 30 calories. Has anyone else had this dramatic change this week?

@Juasp At 20-30 calories in 30 minutes it appears the unit is only counting your Base Metabolic Rate (BMR) almost as if you are not wearing the unit. Is the step count and heart rate the same as your previous walks?
