If your Apple Watch does not seem to be accurately measuring your calorie count, try calibrating it again. Here's how:
Calibrating your Apple Watch for improved Workout and Activity accuracy
Calibration can also improve the accuracy of your overall calorie estimations for other workouts in the Workout app, and the calorie, distance, Move, and Exercise estimations in the Activity app.
Calibrate your Apple Watch
- Bring your iPhone and Apple Watch to a flat, open, outdoor area that offers good GPS reception and clear skies.
- Check that Location Services is turned on. On your iPhone, tap Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
- Check that Motion Calibration & Distance is turned on. On your iPhone, tap Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services.
- Hold your iPhone in your hand, or wear it on an armband (preferably) or waistband.
- Open the Workout app on your Apple Watch, and choose Outdoor Walk.
- Choose your goal or select Open. Tap Start.
- Walk at your normal pace for about 20 minutes.
If you want to reset your calibration data, open the Watch app on your iPhone. Tap the My Watch tab, then tap Privacy > Motion & Fitness > Reset Calibration Data.
Update your personal information
Your personal information, such as your height, weight, gender, and age, is one of the things your Apple Watch uses to calculate how many calories you burn and more. To update your personal information:
- Open the Watch app on your iPhone.
- Tap the My Watch tab.
- Tap Health > Edit.
- Tap the item that you want to change and adjust it.
- Tap Done.
Happy Holidays!
