Hi

just got my fitbit flex today and tried it out whilst doing some wii fit exercise using EA active exercise game

 

at the end of the game the wii fit shows 130 calories burned but the fitbit is showing over 900 calories 

why such a big difference ?

Fitbit displays the total calories burned from midnight 'till now, including calories burned from walking / running (when having walked,..) and calories from logging activities.

 

The Wii Fit displays the calories burned from doing the specific activity only.

 

Since the Flex isn't capable of automaticly tracking a activity such as wii fit, weight lifting.. (activities which are not walked / running based), feel free to log the activity seperately.
