Fitness/calorie tracking

[doublestack1]

Six days with the Galaxy Watch.

Pros:

1. Aesthetically pleasing
2. Battery life around 4.5 to 5 days
3. Awesome screen
4. Notifications
5. Bezel is awesome. Like it more than gen 3 Apple Watch
6. Charging dock

Issues:

1. Calorie tracking is way off. On the low end. Only tracks one type of burn, active.
2. Garmin Fenix3 and Apple Watch gen 3 do a much better job of fitness tracking / calorie tracking
3. Samsung customer care is horrible.
4. Rotate wrist movement to view only 75% effective
5. Samsung Health app poor compared to Apple Health and Garmin equivalents

Two spin classes, 2 5k runs (treadmill) and two elliptical sessions with the device on.

Jury is still out. Leaning toward keeping it.

The calorie counting is an absolute abortion. It is waaay off during a work out.

My Calorie burn is wayyyy out also compared to the last Garmin vivoactive Hr I had. Approx 1500kcals lower per day. Its really annoying

 

[Ken Allen3]

I wonder if it's only tracking calories burned and not including BMR?
