Does Apple Watch Overestimate Calories?<\/span><\/h1>\n
When you wear your Apple Watch, it may seem like it overestimates calories. However, there are a few things you can do to fix this. For example, you can calibrate your Watch to get a more accurate calorie estimate. Also, ensure your Watch is centered on your wrist to ensure that the heart rate sensor is accurate.<\/span><\/p>\n
Calibrate Your Watch to Improve the Accuracy of Calorie Estimates<\/span><\/h2>\n
The first step in calibrating your Apple Watch is to perform a 20-minute workout. While doing this, wear a mask or other protective equipment. Then, open the Watch app on your iPhone or iPad. In the Settings menu, tap General > General Data.<\/span><\/p>\n
Calibration is essential for the accuracy of calorie estimates and other metrics. In addition, it can help the device know your workout progress and keep accurate data when GPS is unavailable. The process is easy and doesn’t take long. However, if you don’t want to invest the time in the calibration process, you can reset your Apple Watch through the paired iPhone. However, you should note that resetting will erase the previous data and make your measurements less accurate.<\/span><\/p>\n
Calibration also helps your Apple Watch improve its calorie estimates. Calibration helps the Apple Watch determine how many calories you burn by adjusting its accelerometer. It is essential to choose the correct option based on the activity you are performing. For example, if you’re using a treadmill, you should choose “running indoors” or “cycling indoors.” If you’re performing yoga or other relaxation exercises, choose “other.”<\/span><\/p>\n
