QuestionIs the calorie burn as inaccurate on this one as on the Felix 5? Or has that issue been resolved?
Asked 7 years ago by Geo.
- Answer I input my age and my bodyweight. I get the impression it tracks heart rate at various levels of activity, and, uses this data to determine calories expended on a real-time basis. It seems to be accurate to me. I have been wearing the watch 24/7, except when I remove it to recharge the battery every 10 or 12 days. I bought the watch about 3 weeks ago, more or less. I hope this helps.
