Versa imageMy Versa 2 sometimes shows an incorrect calorie count that is wildly excessive. This morning, when I woke up, it showed over 4000 calories burned. It has sometimes showed over 6000 calories. This does not happen every day, the heart rate counts look OK,  and my settings, such as weight, are correct. I have the latest firmware update. Any ideas as to what causes this?

Wanted to update that I figured this out. I hadn't checked the heart rate history. As it turned out, I'd been putting the watch on a night stand (I don't like wearing it at night) that also had a white sound generator. The vibration from the white sound generator was tricking the watch into thinking I had an extreme heart rate all night long! Ths, the excessive calorie reading.
