How is this possible? My husband and I do the same walk together which means same distance and same time and yet his calories burnt is more than mine.

Apple Watch Series 4 Incorrect Calories So I am female, about 5’7 250 pounds and I’ve been tracking my indoor walking in one hour intervals using the exercise app. I usually burn around 300-400 calories during these walks and walk 2 miles. Today, however, after my workout I saw that I had indeed walked 2 miles but I had supposedly burned 650 active calories. I really don’t think this is accurate but I haven’t seen any way to fix this. I’ve already updated my watch and calibrated data so I’m not sure why there is such a large inconsistency.

Apple Watch fitness calories not accurate Hello i recently purchased a s6 watch its been working perfectly, so my girlfriend got persuaded into buying an SE version mainly for her fitness needs. We recently started working out together and her watch shows that she only burns half the calories that i burn. So we swapped watches, she had mine and i had hers for todays workout and the same thing happened. She burned twice as much calories but with my watch, could this be because the sensors underneath are different for the s6 and SE model? Thanks in advance hope someone can help.

Series 3 apple watch calorie discrepancy Hi, I have an apple watch series 3. However I feel like i’m burning more calories on my watch that i am . I compared my watch to a friend and i am a bit taller and heavier it’s showing i burn just under a 100 calories more when we are doing the same workout. How do i check that i have everything set up correctly? thanks [Re-Titled by Moderator]

A brisk walk speed is different for everybody as the watch takes into account your age,sex,weight and heart rate which why it is important to calibrate the watch when you set it up from new and have the correct details set up in the health app.
