apple watch calories

today i finished a 10 minute HIIT workout that I do daily, and usually I burn 100 or more calories, but this time it states I only burned 47. My heart rate is the same, and it's the exact same workout I usually do every single day. I've seen online that others have dealt with this issue before, but is there a reason my watch is suddenly counting calories so weirdly? My apple watch has done this before (showing I've burned a lot less calories for a workout I know burns 100cal), but the lowest point it's reached is 80...

Thank you

Hi audreybta,

Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today with your Apple Watch workout. It sounds like you didn't burn as many calories as expected.

We'd advise Calibrating your Apple Watch for improved Workout and Activity accuracy. Please note:

"Calibration can also improve the accuracy of your calorie calculations in the Workout app, and the calorie, distance, Move, and Exercise calculations in the Activity app."

Be sure all your personal information is up-to-date as well.

If the issue continues after that, you can Unpair and erase your Apple Watch and then set them up again.

Let us know how it goes.
