Charge 3 didn't track calories burned

I’ve just done a 15 minute run and only burned 14kcal. Surely this is wrong. Why isn’t it tracking calories burned during a workout properly? I selected the run option and everything. Help! Think I need a new one!

@NiaB Did it burn where the heart rate monitor is on your wrist?  It could be a buggy HR sensor, which is why active minutes and calories aren't registering correctly.  I would contact Customer Support and I wouldn't wear the device if it's burning you.

Welcome to the Community, @NiaB.

 

It's weird to hear that your Charge 3 only registered 14 calories burned. Did you make sure to sync the device properly? Did you manually log any type of activity? Can you provide me with a screenshot of your information?.

 

I hope to hear from you soon. 🙂

Hello
I think it’s something to do with the active minutes? Please see photos. 
Yes it definitely synced properly. And I selected the run exercise using my Fitbit watch.
Thanks
