first a bit of backround about me.10 years ago I decided to loose weight, I went from 140kg, to 84,
since then I kept my weight, with the help of watches like garmin, coros, polar, suunto etc, I know no watch gives a precise calorie burn number, but atleast if gives my pretty good idea. but since I dont really care about all the "exttra "data that garmin etc provides, I decided to try the versa 4, since I really like the fitbit app
.I have one 5 km trail, that I walk daily, and have done so with garmin,coros, suunto, polar watches, and they all give me about the same calorie burn, 300 - 350 active and around 100 bmr calories making the total calorie burn 400 - 450.
when I walk the same trail, the same pace, with the versa 4, it estimates my calorie burn to 780 calories.I know fitbit combines active calories and bmr in their estimate, but thats still twice the calorie burn compared to any other watch I have ever used., and since I take several walks a day, my daily total is way way of
f.and yes, I have set up my age, length, weight etc in the fitbit app.so Im really disappointed with fitbit,
I really like the app, but for me its ueseless, since the calorie burn is way way off, so sadly Im returning the watch:

Question, would a google Pixel watch 4, be just as bad in regards of burned calories as the versa 4, because it uses the same algoritm or something, or is it better? Asking since like I previously said, I really like the app, but that inaccurate calorie burn makes it way too inaccurate for me, ie, I wore both the versa 4 and Garmin 255 , when removing bmr calories from a full days activities from fitbit, it was 1600 active calories off compared to Garmin
