Runkeeper Activities Calorie Burn - Apple Activity

My guess is that this is because the iPhone and the Apple Watch have two different ways of calculating things because of where it is usually placed on your body--your wrist as opposed to your pocket.

A pedometer could also be different. For example the results from an iPhone in your pocket would differ from that of your Fitbit on your ankle which would differ that of your Apple Watch.

What is strange is that these aren't syncing properly. As you can see, I'm still a newbie and I'm afraid I don't have all the answers, so I suggest contacting Apple Support or an Apple Store's Genius Bar for specific and more official answers.

If you have not yet done so, it may help to update watchOS and/or Runkeeper to the latest software versions.

Changes in version 7.13.1 of Runkeeper included: "We fixed a number of bugs including a data syncing issue with Apple Watch":

• Update the software on your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Anyone got to the bottom of This yet? I also have the same issue. The Activity app shows an active calorie amount from my RunKeeper run, but the activity toTal for the day is much lower. Very frustrating. Mine is almost 600 out today!

Hi

I suggest that you consult the developer's support resources for Runkeeper and/or contact the developer for assistance with issues concerning use of their app:

Any data syncing issues relating to use of a third-party app lie with the third-party app developer.

Keep in mind that the Heath app on your iPhone combines health and fitness data from Apple Watch, iPhone and any other data sources (including third-party apps).

When doing so, it automatically adjusts the reported results to avoid any double-counting of the same type of data for the same period from different sources.

Also keep in mind that some third-party apps may report total calories, whereas the Move goal on Apple Watch focuses on active calories.

I am also having this issue with calories burned not matching between RunKeeper and the Activities app. My runs are syncing over as I can see the workout in the Activities app, but the calories burned are vastly different. For example, RunKeeper may show that I burned 700 calories on a run, but the Activities app will only show 525.

I am using an iPhone 6s with Apple Watch series 2. iOS and apps on both devices are also up to date.
