The BEST smartwatch for tracking calories burned #cardio #calories #fatloss #bodybuilding

I just use it to make sure each day is pretty similar. If I'm consistently inconsistent, I'll stay consistent 🤣

[jdodds]

I still like em because every study I've seen has shown them UNDER reporting your calories rather than OVER means if you stay under what it says, you'll actually be in a bigger deficit than you even thought, or if you burn a target goal, you'll actually burn more than you thought

Honestly I use a Fitbit to track my sleep, and my estimated amount of steps. It helps keep me accountable. I never pay attention to the calories burned.

“ proceeds to talk about studies saying they don’t work while also not including said studies. “ what a genius

I love my garmin. They’re close. It’s still a great tool for people, especially individuals who stay consistent with training because they have a smartwatch.

[nicholasgerace]

It's a consistency thing for me. I'm less concerned about the number, and more concerned about having a good daily average. That and getting my steps in.

Mainly because... it's too impractical to wear a chest strap heart rate monitor for daily activity lol.

So at least I can see a decent average daily amount, and that keeps me consistent.

what you failed to say was that the watches were not OVER estimating but, UNDER estimating so even if the number are inaccurate you can always bet you've done more than it says.

[AlexLifeson]

Unless they can measure how much oxygen is being consumed it will never be accurate.

The only device I think might be close is whoop. If I go for a 30 minute job and 1 hour lift I burn usually around 2500 cals a day, but on my apple watch it says I’m burning like 3600. Now I’m tracking macros and I’m trying to diet so I’m eating between 2000-2200 a day and I’m slowly losing weight. Whoops estimate makes sense as that puts me in a deficit of 300-500 cals which would be about a .5 to 1 pound a week. If I was burning 3600 like apple says I would be in a deficit of about 1500 a day therefore losing about 1lb every other day and seeing that’s not the case It’s so off

Fitbit tracks me as riding a bike when driving a semi😅😅😅

[braynjohnson]

Do you have any recommendations for how to track calories burned without a fitness band?

[laselecta]

Dam man and here I was about to buy one 😂

[lordguu]

Do you know how good treadmills and hometrainers etc are?

[dabbking]

So what’s the best one? You didn’t answer

[KingKoalafied]

i just like the distance/step tracker as well as movement reminders

[Jeanjuan]

As long as they underestimate, im good!

[Argenswiss]

It is true but all SmartWatches other than apple were under reporting in those studies

[curious-kat]

I had a Fitbit, it was a joke! Just getting out of bed in the morning it would count as 300 steps. 😂😂

[DJFreshJuice]

Could you use a smartwatch and manually remove 30% when adding it into your fitness app, or is it just too random to do that?

[SergioGarcia-pvuk]

I don’t really care too much about my Apple Watch goals because I already knew they weren’t that accurate
