Calories bug?

Egika

Here’s some information about the widget data: https://www.suunto.com/Support/Product-support/suunto_race/suunto_race/widgets/steps-and-calories/

@Stefano-M64 thank for reply everyone. For me, it kind of doesnt make sense that daily active calories are only from steps. So total daily should be base+cal from steps+activity cal?
So, if I for example cannot walk that much one day, but I swim 5 km, my daily active calories goal is not met?

Egika

@Marko-Marić the watch and the app of course shows the total calories.
In my watch the total calories is always higher that the sum of activity calories.
Maybe it needs some minutes to update after the activity?

@Stefano-M64 said in Calories bug?:

if I remember well, the calories burned during an activity are not summed to the daily ones, which are computed from the steps only

no, I was wrong, the activity calories are correctly summed to the others

@Egika
“the bottom value is the estimated amount of active calories you have burned so far during the day. Below this you see the total calories burned. The total includes both active calories and your Basal Metabolic Rate, BMR”
total = active + bmr, but total is lower number than active calories on manual picture. It makes no sense

Egika

@thailon please show a picture.
I have the bottom value bigger

@Egika I have the bottom value on watch bigger too. But in the user guide the bottom value is lower. It does not make sense. Here is the link.

Egika

@SailingP yeah. So the Pic in the guide makes no sense. Everything in watch is working well as described in the text. Right?

SailingP

@Egika exactly. Only the picture in the user guide is wrong. Data on watch are ok, they are aligned with text in the user guide.

I am not sure if this is the same or a similar problem.
Today I took the bike to get to work and recorded this as an activity. But the kcals are not shown in the active calories as you can see in the screenshot. The activity was between 06:30 and 07:45 with 85 kcal
