Incorrect calories on MTB move with HR turned off

krsiakmartin

Hello.

While tracking my MTB rides with my S9 Baro I found out that it calculates calories incorrectly while HR is turned off. I’ve seen it multiple times. To demonstrate I am attaching 2 screenshots of similar rides. First is tracked with S9 Baro, second is tracked with Suunto app for Android on my Samsung Galaxy S9.

Looking forward to hear from you about this problem.

@krsiakmartin The watch receives its calorie calculations from HR and likely calculates them differently than the app. I doubt there is much that can be done here and I suspect any calculations without HR are likely off anyway. The solution is to activate HR either OHR or wear a belt.
