Problem with rowing calories

Hello,

I notice a problem with the rowing calories counting. I row with the official machine of the rowing fédérations, the Concept 2. For example, when my machine count 780 cal. the  watch count 480 ! It’s a very great  difference. Have other people noticed this difference already ? it would be good to have an explanation and for the error to be rectified because it calls into question all of the measures. 
Thank you for your help. 
Best regards
C.

Hello christophe147,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! We see that you're having an issue with your Apple Watch and calories during a rowing workout, and we'd like to help.


Make sure that you select the workout type "Rower" when starting your workout. Workout types on Apple Watch


This article has how to calibrate your Apple Watch, which can also improve accuracy: Calibrating your Apple Watch for improved Workout and Activity accuracy


If you're still showing a large difference, we'd suggest contacting the rowing machine manufacturer. Let them know what's happening and that you've already calibrated the Apple Watch.


Take care!
