Really Great info.. I looked at some online calorie/hrm calculators. The treadmill run you reported was (I just added 200lbs weight i made a guess) very close when I added your metrics in. Seems between the exercise routines selected in S3 has a huge impact on how calories are reported. I...

Yes that is strange. Was the calorie counts much higher or close? Also what target range was your hrm in for the run. It appears more calories are calculated if you are in your target zone. When I did extreme cardio my count went down because I figure i was out of the target zone. Which at...

Yes sounds like we are having a similar dilemma in that we really like the S3 but not so much on the fitness aspect. Maybe its bc we came from a dedicated fitness watches it is harder for us. But samsung does have a fitness watch the gear fit or fit2 I think not exactly sure. If i am not...

I understand what you are getting at. I guess the issue for me if they had actually looked at what fitness watches/apps give for data and just at minimum give similar data. Especially since they are recording these metrics already. That's why so many people are clamoring to port their data to...

Oh to clarify I realize this is a smartwatch. But it is being advertised that the fitness apps are as good as any fitness watch with added benefit of being a smartwatch, albeit the price increase.

I hear ya.. I have the LTE version and it's great on some things I was looking forward to. I.E. built in music for running, gps, solid construction no plastic, hrm on wrist no chest strap, and for me bluetooth to download data. With my older fitness watch I have to use Cable to download. Plus...

I have the Frontier LTE version and after having it a few weeks decided I won't baby it. I own an older Sunnuto fitness watch that I almost never took off for yrs and its still running fine albeit a few scratches. I dont want to have to worry about every little thing i do with the watch other...

The calorie counts are unfortunately terribly inaccurate. I am in same scenario as I have an older fitness watch 'sunnuto' with chest strap. Which uses age,wgt, and hrm to calculate calories based on time and HR during a workout. Supposedly they use a specific algorithm to calculate calories on...
