Outdoor cycling workout is inaccurate

There are a few reasons why the calorie count under outdoor cycling on your Apple Watch SE might be lower than for other categories.

• Your weight and fitness level. The heavier you are, the more calories you will burn during exercise. Also, the fitter you are, the more efficiently your body uses energy, so you will burn fewer calories for the same amount of work.
• Your speed and intensity. The faster you ride and the harder you work, the more calories you will burn.
• The terrain. Riding uphill burns more calories than riding on flat ground.
• The weather. Riding in hot weather can increase your calorie burn, as your body has to work harder to stay cool.
• The accuracy of your Apple Watch. The Apple Watch uses a variety of sensors to track your activity, including your heart rate, speed, and distance traveled. However, no sensor is perfect, and there is some margin of error in the calorie count.

Here are some tips to help you get the most accurate calorie count from your Apple Watch:

• Make sure your Apple Watch is properly fitted.
• Update your Apple Watch to the latest software.
• Wear your Apple Watch on your non-dominant wrist.
• Keep your Apple Watch clean and dry.
• Avoid wearing your Apple Watch in extreme temperatures.
• If you are using a heart rate monitor, make sure it is properly calibrated.

If you are still having problems with the accuracy of your Apple Watch, you can contact Apple Support for help.

I hope this helps!

30 minute run is worth maybe two hours of bike ride.
