Apple Watch fitness unit measurement wrong.

Is anyone having issues with their Apple Watch with the units of measurements? My watch has changed from calories to KJ’s & despite both the settings on my phone and my watch having the unit of measurement set as “calories”, it continues to display as kj’s instead. Any advice?

calories count is inaccurate since last update 10.1.1 I have an apple watch SE second gen, and since last update to 10.1.1, the calories are not counted correctly any more. Graphic representation seems to be similar to previous days, but the calories do not add. So overall calories and active calories have significantly dropped since the update. Example yesterday, being a slightly more active day than average, got an active calorie count of 24 and a total of 807. Before the update on a similar day I got 499 active for a total of 2384.

Apple Watch resting calories incorrect during workout but correct at end workout My Apple Watch Series 4 has always worked great, especially tracking my workouts. Since the last update I’ve noticed that during the workout the resting calories being burned are recorded as incredibly high and blatantly incorrect, but when I end the workout the resting calories display as what I would expect the accurate count to be. For example, during the workout my active calories will be at 50 but the resting calories will be at 450, but if I end the workout the display will show active calories 50 and resting calories 80. I’ve already repeatedly checked health/workout settings (none of which have been changed), restarted my phone and watch (together and separately), and neither require software updates. Help!

Apple Watch series 7 calories burned too low Just upgraded to a series 7 and the calorie count (total calories) for my workouts is about 200 less on my new watch compared to my old Apple Watch. My old watch reading da were def correct as I’ve tested them against numerous other devices and gym equipment. I’ve checked everything advised to fix online, health app data correct, HR is reading correctly, calories are selected (not kj), selecting correct workout, calibrated, wrist detection and location services on and still no difference. When I compare my workouts history, just a simple Watch upgrade has now resulted in my calories burned being significantly less. Anyone else having these issues?

Try to set it to calories, after that restart your watch and your paired iPhone (make sure that the setting is correct at your iPhone as well) to see if the issues persist
