Calories burned with GW4

[theobject]

I've noticed that with Samsung Health on the GW4 my calories burned have increased by quite a bit. For example, a 20 mile bike ride I did with my AW2 burned 705 calories. The same exact 20 mile ride with the GW4 I burned 952. That's a significant increase.

Anyone else take notice of more calories being burned with the GW4?

A bit more, but not to the level you're seeing. My six mile run used to burn 550 calories on the GW3, and on the GW4 it tends to be more like 650. I wonder if the algorithm now accounts for body fat or something of that nature.
