How does iwatch measures calories burnt and exercise done while riding bike ?
today I was travelling on bike for couple of hours while driving I checked on activities and the rings were half done.
before that I haven't done any workout.
if watch measures through vibration then it should be calibrated in correct way
Apple Watch Series 8
Outdoor cycling uses an algorithm with GPS miles, Heart rate, weight, height, gender, workout duration.
Indoor cycling uses roughly the same but without GPS.
I mean to say motorbike 😅
OK then vibration may play a part in distorting the measure. Raised heartbeat due to stress of riding will increase move calories simply from heartbeat above normal.
For a normal day moving about and riding without starting a workout you might expect 300-400 move calories and 2000-2500 total calories.
"...today I was travelling on bike for couple of hours while driving ..."
explain what you mean by that and I may be able to help further . I assumed you meant a pedal cycle otherwise you would have said motorbike?
Activity rings will change slowly with general movement.
then why does my activity ring changes while I am riding a bike?
Incorrect calibration for calories burnt and exercise done
