I use a SURGE, my husband uses the HR and I also use Walktracker on my phone when we go out for a walk each day.  SURGE always counts my calories used for my 3.5 mile walk at about 400, the HR counts lower (even through he is heavier than I am), and my walking tracker even lower.  How do I know if my SURGE is correct? or the HR?  Thanks!

I've noticed you are new around @ldkfj, so let me give you a warm welcome to our Community. Woman Happy

 

That's a really good question @ldkfj! I'd suggest to take 2 screenshots of both activities so you can attach them, since we should check that information before to give a conclusion. When talking about calories burned you might have to take in count that heart rate may be affected by any a number of factors at any given moment, such as temperature, humidity, stress level, physical body position and caffeine intake are just a few things that can affect your heart rate.

 

And if you have specific medical conditions and take medications it can impact your heart rate and the amount of calories burned. Smiley Wink

 

I'll be waiting that information!
