Activity monitor data

Question

Activity monitor data

Hi

I have just cycled 12 miles on a stationary exercise bike. The bike registered that I'd averaged 12 mph and cycled for 61 minutes and used 667 calories. My watch said that I'd used 153 calories active and 81 resting but it only adds the 153 to the ring. I checked various websites and the calories used for my height and weight varied between 427 and 532. So I don't think the watch is counting properly. In addition the exercise ring only shows 6 minutes so doesn't include the 60 minutes on the bike. Is that right?? And to top it all when I'd finished the watch told me to stand as if I hadn't done anything!!! (My correct height and weight etc has been entered correctly so it can't be thatmans my heart rate doubled).

Any suggestions???

Watch Standard 38mm, iOS 8.3

Hi

ive read all the information available and not of it helps with the issues I have. There appears to be a problem with calorie counting on stationary exercise equipment. All the other exercise catagories work. The issue has been raised with Apple Suppprt and they are looking into it.

Thanks for trying to help.
