Daily calories burnt?

[Dan Rodman]

Hi everyone

I got a gear fit 2 yesterday as it came free with my S7 edge, as soon as I put it on the watch told me I had burned 1800 which I don't get how?

This morning (I had the watch whilst I was asleep) I told me I had burned 619 calories?

So does this watch work out my TDEE or is my watch just a bit wacky?

Hiya,
It estimates how many calories you use naturally as well as how many you burn through exercise etc.

You will typically burn about 2000 calories (depending on height, weight, fitness, etc) a day just by breathing, heart beating, etc.

I do wish that the app made it clearer when it's telling you your day total of this figure PLUS any actual work-out calories, or just one of the two. You have to remember which of the displays is showing the day total so far including "Background", which one shows the total of, say, walking, and which only shows the total of specific workouts, i.e. when you tell teh watch you're engaging in a specific activity. It's not hard to work out once you get the hang of it, but it could be clearer. I wonder if the different data are available to watch-face designers maybe someone could come up with a screen to show the various totals next to each other, or as a stacked bar graph.
