My calorie count is permanently incorrect on my Inspire watch. I wake up in the mornings having burned anywhere between 200-800 calories! (And I don’t wear the watch to bed) - My settings ie height/weight are all correct and I’ve reset the watch but seen no changes. Has anyone else had this? Thanks

Fitbit counts your BMR (basal metabolic rate) calories that you are always burning just by being alive.  These are always credited, even when you are not wearing the tracker.

See How does my Fitbit device calculate calories burned? 

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
