Hi im new user of the watch xiaomi amazefit pace i tested and i think when im doing an activity it counts wrong the kcal i ve burned it shows for example i ve done bicycle for 1 hour with endomondo i ve burned aboout 750 kcal and with xiaomi amazefit about 250kcal i set the same settings to both of them and im confused the only diffent thing in endomondo is that it cannot count heart rate the other hardware is the same

Hi all,
Just putting this out to see if I could get other user opinions about the calorie counting of the Amazfit Pace.
In my experience it seems like the Pace only counts calories from activities.
If I look back at my activities from the past day, week, month in the app or on the watch itself I'm seeing extremely low calorie counts. For example, the average calorie burned figure from the last week is showing 459 kCal at the moment on the watch. The weekly total kCal burned for the 10th - 16th of December is showing 2970 kCal.
Can anyone confirm this, or let me know what watch / firmware they're if they are seeing normal calorie burn i.e. BMR + activity to give a total figure.
For what it's worth, my fitbit and garmin have both placed me at around 2000 - 2700 calories a day and as far as I can tell both of these devices have added BMR and activity calories together to form a total.
The pace doesn't count calories, it tries to calculate them.
Sure, the use of the word count probably wasn't spot on at the time of writing. But the sentiment remains.
Other devices I've used in the past for example, calculate / estimate / count, calories as a total of BMR + active calories. In my experience I'd see figures range from 1800 - 3000 calories burned per day depending on activity. Over the month I'd expect to see an estimate of about 60,000 - 80,000.
My Pace however, if I'm lucky shows 600 - 700 calories per day, typically lower, and over the last month has seen less than 10,000 calories burned.
I've attached screenshots from Amazfit, Fitbit, Garmin to show the kind of discrepancy I'm talking about. I'm just wondering if this calorie estimate I'm seeing is normal.
some problem in the mi fit app with amazfit bip. for reference, you also can type in data (steps, distances, time, elevation, ...) from activities into your runtastic account, and see it translated.
the mi fit app (if not crashing, as for 3.3.0, algo 1.1.09, as of 2018-03-27) seems far behind everything. e.g. i keeps calorie totals from steps separate from calories burned in each individual bicycle activity. no way of accumulating calories burned. while the sensor data seems accurate (steps, pace, gps) the app only shines with sleep and regular step data, the calculation and views on calories are rather catastrophic. pity
hello i have been using the amazfit bip for a couple weeks now the first week i it recorded 18.19 miles walked 8 hours 57 mins time spend walking but it says i only burned 1388 calories im a 324lb male most of the calorie trackers says i burned close to 4100 calories does anyone have a fix for this
Hello
Do you know if we can have the Vo2 max measurment like Stratos on a Pace ROM?
Thanks
Sorry to necro, but this is something I wanted to know too.
I believe that Pace lacks the correct sensor for VO2 max measurement.
It is just the algorithm licensed from Firstbeat. It just compares the pace and heart rate while running to other runners. Not so useful metric. If you want a useful metric use your resting heart rate or recovery heart rate. The recovery heart rate is the difference between last HR in activity and HR 2 minutes after activity. How higher how better.
Is the stratos heart rate monitor really better than pace HR?
I think the pace HR is really bad.
Hi, I have a problem with the calorie counter when cycling.
I set the bike activity on the watch.
I do the same on Endomondo on my phone.
I covered over 10 km and the watch shows 80-100 kcal burned,
and on the same route Endomondo shows 270 kcal.
It's a big difference.
The device loses meaning, if calories counter is wrong.
Has anyone encountered such a problem
For some reason unknown to me, it seems that all Amazfit devices underestimate calories burnt. If your device is an international model, I suggest that you fill a suggestion for improvement in their official website:
https://support.amazfit.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
OK thanks, so I did.
Hey, this actually started happening to me too, on Amazfit Pace. Only thing I can confirm is that it started with 2.6.0.12 WOS update..
I believe that this problem is related to incorrect heart rate counting.
The heart rate is permanently undervalued.
I tested it on cross trainer. When the cross trainer shows 135, the watch shows max 100.
Rough estimate I know, I have the amazfit bip with 12000 steps daily average and my calories are v always in 200s it's almost as if they are doing a different unit not calories because Google fit has me in the thousands not even a close comparison between mi fit and Google fit. Would like to clarify this issue as well.

Hi, I have same problem with the calorie counter when walking-
I set the walking activity.. covered 3.48 km and watch shows 455 kcal burned..
I do the same activity on realme watch... covered 7.57 km and watch shows 231 kcl burned
It's a big difference.

Yes, I am having the same problem. Samsung health says 223 cal for 5.44 km of walking, but Amazfit Band 5 says 127 kcal for 5.34 km of walking. The variance is too large for Amazfit to be accurate.
Hi All,
I just replaced my stratos 2 with a strstos3 (the old one died). The watch is what I expected but my surprise is that with the strstos2 the vo2 data was correct but with this one I always see the same value 27 and performance very poor. In addition, the heart rate was ok but when I check my activities and the breakdown for the heart zone, I don't have any time on V2 max or anaerobic. The weird thing is that I do see these values on the watch screen when I'm running or cycling and when I check the heart rate in the app, the values seem to be correct. Anyone facing the same issue and with a solution?
Thank you very much for your help
I use a bluetooth belt since all devices (no exception) do not deliver accurate optical sensor HR data - If you do the same you will have more accurate resutls - My Stratos is giving 54 Vo2 which is almost accurate (my best when I was an athlete was 69
Thanks for your response but I always get the same constant value which is incorrect... On top of it, I have updated the watch to the next version of the firmware and now after 2 min recording the activity it crashes.... A disaster.... Very unhappy about it
