Q: Different results on Watch activity app since changing phones
Last week, when my iPhone 5 died, I paired my Apple Watch to my corporate iPhone 5s. Since then, I've had wildly different results in my activities.
For instance, I used to generally get 67-74 calories burned per mile when walking briskly with "Outdoor Walking" running on the watch. Since switching to the iPhone 5s, the watch is reporting 67-72 calories burned in just 0.6 miles. I've walked several times with the watch since I switched phones, so it should be calibrated.
Previously, my goal was to burn 800 calories per day, something that would occur by early evening. I'm about to break that now and it's only 3pm -- and I've not worked out that much today.
Has anyone experienced such a fluctuation in the Apple Watch results after switching to a different iPhone? Any insights?
