As a dedicated Fitbit user with a premium subscription, I've noticed a significant issue with calorie overestimation compared to my new Garmin watch. Despite a brief walk and a moderately busy day without additional exercise, Fitbit consistently shows higher values than Garmin. For instance:
**Fitbit Data:**
- Steps: 13099
- Calories: 3333
- Distance: ~10 kilometers
**Garmin Data:**
- Steps: 10967
- Calories: 2349
- Distance: ~9.5 km

Actually, there is no overestimation with the Fitbit calories. I highly recommend reading this article as it goes into great detail about how your Fitbit measures calories burned.
