Fitbit Versa LITE - All-Day Calorie Burn - why comparing shows lack of this function?

[Lindziak]

Hi. Why when I compare Fitbit Versa LITE with other models, the website shows me, that Versa LITE doesn't have function "All-Day Calorie Burn"? I have ordered Versa LITE and I'm worry about this function, because I use Charge 2 and I thought all Fitbits have this. So, how does the device measure calories? Will it show me the same amount every day based, or will take steps and activity? What is the main difference in calorie counting between Versa LITE or for example Charge 2 or Charge 3 (which have this function in specifications)?

Hello @Lindziak and a warm welcome.  The Versa Lite does have All-Day Calorie burn.  Absolutely.  I'm sorry that you found incorrect information on the site.

If you can find it again, can you post a screenshot of the page?  It needs to be corrected.

@Lindziak   I'm sorry for not responding sooner.  I looked at the Fitbit store and I think I know what you are seeing.  If you use the Compare feature, the Versa Lite says it doesn't have a Daily Activity on the device itself.  That is incorrect.  I am including a link to the Versa Lite manual.   Check out page 16.  You swipe up on the screen to see your daily stats.  It hard to see on the manual page, but you swipe left on the steps to see distance, calories and active minutes.

To answer your question about calorie burn, Fitbit uses your age, weight and sex to estimate your basal metabolic rate calories.  Then is uses algorithms that use your heart rate to estimate activity calories.   All heart rate devices calculate calories the same way.

Does this help?
