My workouts are clocking 400 calories per hour is where as with my old Fitbit it was more 500. I can feel my heart pounding out my chest after some heavy squats yet watch is telling my 95 bpm ????? Really not impressed with the sense

Hi @Knobby1 - unfortunately the watch is not known for its HR accuracy during exercise which will of course affect the calorie calculation.

Smart watches are not reliable in counting burned calories to being with, so you shouldn't rely on that info. Mostly, they exaggerate by a significant amount the calories spent.
