Your watch isn’t as accurate at tracking calories as you think
A new wearable designed at Stanford University claims to be far more accurate at calculating calorie burn than the smartwatch on your wrist. It measures leg motion and works for lower-body exercises including walking, running, cycling and climbing stairs. We compare it to a lab-grade calorie-tracking tool.

Something they didn’t mention, but is important, is consistency. For weight management, a scale doesn’t need to be accurate, but it does need to be consistent. This is definitely also a factor in measuring calories. If the wearables are consistent in their readings, they still provide useful data.

Tracking calories is not important to me. Distance and time tracking matters more to me.

My fitbit charge 5 was claiming I was burning like 5000 calories. I switched over to apple watch and now it’s like 600. Cant trust anything but I’m hoping i can make use of the number in some way. For example if this can be considered close enough to my calories burned without BMR. Since I track my weight too and know how many calories burned in a kilo weight loss I’m hoping consistent calorie burn count can let me figure something out, like a scaling factor to work out total daily burn

This is why you should not track your calories.
Tracking active minutes is a more reliable metric.

I thought everybody already knew this because you have to agree to the disclaimer that it may not represent accurate health data and that you should seek your physician for proper information. Watches are only meant to be a guide to give you an average, which is clear to me because I’m a pretty thin guy and after a bike ride it says I only burn about 30 to 40 cal which is inaccurate, because I know with my body type I’m burning way more.

Well it’s not about correct or not smartwatches are just normal everyday standard meter of calories as we compare it from yesterday or 1 month ago data or with someone with same watch and compare if calories burn increased or decreased or have i walked more today than yesterday not that i want accurate data

Good running technique that does not harm the body. Nice to see. You get rid of less energy if you lift your legs more, but if you are looking to burn calories, the style is perfect.

A few issues. 1. Wearables wont ever even be close to accurate on fitness equipment as you arent actually physically moving. 2. I would never wear such bulky equipment 3. Its worthwhile testing a smart watch in combination with a compatible chest strap heart monitor.

Smart Clothes is at least 5-10 years away. Double or triple that where it becomes cheap enough for it to be standard of everything.
Clothes need to last for 2 to 5+ years.
Electronics and water don’t mix.
If it really becomes standard on clothes, E-Waste is going to become a lot worse.

doesn’t matter as long as you stay consistent with your goal, use whatever number as a baseline and adjust as needed. Eat more to gain weight eat less to lose weight. Of course its more complicated than that but in general thats how you do it

my garmin keeps it good enough for me to have lost 60 pounds based on a daily caloric intake/defecit. i’m good. also, if your actual calorie burn from the leg device is higher than your watch, wouldn’t that be counterproductive to weight loss? if you think you have less calories than you actually do, and your weight loss method is caloric, then you will intake less calories going by the watch right?

I think it’s HILARIOUS that people think you can get an accurate calorie burn from something strapped to your wrist! 🤣 It’s also funny how people think something that is literally on your wrist can count the literal number of steps you take! The only thing any kind of smart watch is good for is tracking the time and distance using GPS. Everything else is guessing.

Well if I’m actually burning more calories than my watch is telling me, I’ll take that as a win because it’s way better than the vice-versa.

My wife has a fitbit and I have a garmin. We train together, eat the same things and we’re only a year apart in age. My garmin gives me way higher calories burned then her fitbit. We never take calories seriously because it’s all in the math of the company’s algorithms and they’re idea of measurement. It is a good tool to keep motivated though.

Did that breath measurement mask restrict breathing compared to not wearing a mask? That might affect calorie burn.

Unless you’re a professional athlete or training for the Iron Man competition I’m sure a watch is fine for tracking workouts as long as it’s consistent

What proof is there that his device is more accurate? This was just 3 sets of numbers from different devices, any of which could have been the closest to accurate.
