Latest calorie burn comparison

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

I've had my Surge for two years and for the first couple of months tracked a comparison between my Polar FT4 with chest strap and my Surge.  Wasn't happy with the huge difference then and still am not happy with what I perceive to be is inaccuracte calorie burn with my Surge. 

 

FT4

Duration 52:21

Cal 484

Avg HR 120

Max HR 144

In zone peak minutes 46:22

 

Surge

Duration 52:27

Cal 902

Avg HR 137

Max HR 158

In zone peak minutes 31:00

 

A difference of 418 calories is an entire meal.  I trust the old FT4 more than the Surge.

Hey there @SFDonovan. Good to see you in the Community!

 

I'm sorry that the information when it comes to heart rate doesn't seem accurate for you.

 

If you haven't done so, I would recommend restarting your tracker by pressing and holding the left and lower right buttons for 10-12 seconds and your  tracker will reboot. Then try it out and see if there is any change in your calorie estimation. Also make sure that all your personal information has already been entered correctly in your account settings and then see if this makes a difference.

 

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need more help with this!
