Fitbit watch vs Mobile tracker burnt calories?

Hi,

 

I don't have any Fitbit watch yet, but I use the iPhone app and mobile tracker. 

I'm not allowed to weer any watch within work, so the mobile app is how I measure my steps/calories burnt.

I was wondering: Does anyone have any experience with wearing a Fitbit in the gym while having your phone with you too? I would be afraid that my calories burnt would double count. 

For example: if I would walk from one strength exercise to another, a few steps, while having the exercise started on my watch, would it double count the burnt calories (steps on mobile device/activity on watch)?

Hi @Larissi28. Welcome on board. It's nice to see a new face around.

 

Thanks for letting me know that you're using MobileTrack, and I'll be happy to help you with your inquiry. If you get a Fitbit device, it'll have priority over MobileTrack, so when you sync, the data recorded by your phone will be overwritten by the information recorded by our device during the time you wore it, but not duplicated. You can find more information here.

 

I'll be around if you need anything else.
