Calories consumption
-
I have the suunto spartan wrist hr and i belive that something is going wrong with the calories consumption showed by the watch.For example after an hour of running the watch shows that I consupted 2000 calories!!!

@konstantinos-kex
Tell me how !!
Jokes apart, have you set your personal profile correctly ?
Do you have the same data in Movescount ? -
Are your body data correct?
This body measures, are used for calculate calories… -
For me this works fine. In my opinion Suunto has better calories consumption counting than Polar. Please do not change anything on this.
-
2000 calories for an hour run seems a bit high for me, I hardly get 1300 for an hour and a half bike ride, but then, as all of the above has said, insure your physical stats are correct in both the watch, and Movescount, and especially your activity level. When comparing my Suunto with “another brand”, I discovered this website that gives estimation of calorie count based upon your heart rate. I found Suunto’s calorie expenditure closest of the one’s I’ve checked.

@konstantinos-kex please share your move to see how HR graph looks like.
-
Yes the data are the same:1.91.m tall,96 kilos 34 years old.

I took a look and your HR was in Zone 5 (max zone) for quite a lot. You could maybe adjust your zones. Z5 for your age (mine as well) to be entering above 157 is not correct for sure I think.
-
What does this mean??how can i change it?my opinion is that something is going wrong.
-
@konstantinos-kex go to the watch and go to settings -> trainning -> Intensity Zones -> Default zones and adjust there the settings.
If you need help on how to set them up, mention me here.
-
I would like some help please
-
The zones there should be:
z1-z2 -> 72%
z2-z3 -> 77%
z3-z4 -> 82%
z4-z5 -> 86%I think there is a reset button there that can help as well.
Can you tell us what values you had there before btw?
-
If i could contact you by phone it would be much better.
-
@konstantinos-kex check your pm

Hello,
For this move, your altitude profil is not flat (maybe GPS altitude and profil set to alti/auto instead of baro for this kind of move) but I guess your run was
Maybe calories are added due to this few elevations meter.
Just a clue, i am not aware of calories calculations. -
@konstantinos-kex I think the reason is the high hr. You have even an hr of 183 which is about 3bpm below you max for the age.
At that effort the consumptions rises.To my eyes running at 183 where max is 186 for you age can be the root cause of this.
-
@konstantinos-kex as Dimitrios mentioned HR is culprit for you as you are running at max HR how you feel after such workout? As you are at lactate zone.
-
How should I feel?I feel little tired but ok.It was just a 25 minutes excercise.Most of the times I am very tired before the run because I usually go at nights when I find some free time.
-
@konstantinos-kex I think really the issue is with hr being sooooook high.
I have e the same hr values like you but I can almost never pass 180bpm !!!
That means that your max hr should not be 186 for exmaple. It should be higher in my opinion.
At a similar run with yours I can barely pass 170.
According to how calories are deriving from hr you are running at v02max for a lot of time dramatically increasing the calories estimation.
