@Marko-Marić i do not have a link to documentation, but I think it was answered few times in this forum. Daily calories shows only active calories and the calories from the excersize shows both active and passive calories (calories that body burns over time by existing).

Thanks for the explanation, @aiv4r, that makes more sense now. So basically, the workout includes both the baseline (passive) and active calories, while the daily total only tracks the active part? That would explain the lower number under daily calories. It would be helpful if Suunto made that a bit clearer in the app.

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

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?

@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?

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.
