I just got a fitbit versa 2, my husband has a fitbit versa. The calorie count on my fitbit is very different to when I am wearing his.

I wore both fitbits during a 45min workout, on the same arm and my fitbit read 307 calories whereas my husbands fitbit read 507. Same workout, same arm, difference of 200 calories.

How can there be such a difference for the same person doing the same thing? Has anyone else experienced this?

One difference is weight which is a big factor in calories burned.  It takes more calories for a heavier person to walk same distance at same pace.  When you are wearing husband's tracker, assuming you have not switched the account it is connected to, it would be using his weight, age, etc in calorie calculation.

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