Galaxy Watch 7 Wrong Calory Calculation

[SergioTio]

I did two outdoor biking sessions:

- first using Polar H10 heart rate monitor with Garmin Edge 130Plus bike computer,

- second with Galaxy Watch 7.

Exactly the same route, the same time, the same average speed, almost the same average heart rate.

The first session shows 774KCal burned.

The second shows 1198KCal burned.

I trust the first more 🙂
