Today I use the workout app on my Apple Watch 4 for the first time while using a recumbent bike at the gym. I rode the bike for 32 minutes but it only recorded 27 active calories, 71 total calories and an average heart rate of 81 bpm. The bike software recorded 367 calories used and an average heart rate of 135 bpm. Not sure what Is wrong. Can anyone help?
Apple Watch
There is your answer. It was not reading your heart rate.
Make sure that your watch properly and that you it is reading your heart rate.
It could be that you had your wrist pinched or something like that.
Try turning off Workout Power Saving Mode in Settings -> General -> Workout
Was your watch reading your heart rate at all times?
What does the workout stats show you?
So am I supposed to wear it differently than I have been? It was on my wrist in the same place it’s been since I got it. Does sweat make a difference? If so, the watch is useless. My Fitbit always gave me accurate info.
You need to use indoor bike workout. Then see how you get on
I did use that which I should have should have said in my question. That’s why I don’t understand why it was off by so much.
It didn’t which is odd since it records it any other time. These are my stats from yesterday.
