Hi guys,

 

Im new here and looking for a bit of help.

 

Had my samsung Galaxy watch active for a week now and really like it.

Only problem i have with it is when i recorded a 6k 36 minute run using my watch (leaving phone at home) it said i burned 287kcal.

When i recorded a 3k 17 minute run without taking my watch and using the Samsung health app on my phone it said i burned 275kcal.

 

Big difference right?

 

Also i went for a 42 minute 2k walk to the swing park with the kids (recorded on watch and phone in pocket) it said i burned 294kcal. 

 

I dont understand how i can burn more calories walking and pushing my kids on a swing than i can doing a 36 minute 6k run.

 

Anyone able to explain please?

 

Thanks
