Having an issue with my S4 Watch with regards to the calorie count.


Had it since launch with no issues.


The particular isse relates to the HIIT training app. I attend a HIIT session twice a week and have done since I had the watch. Every single time the calorie count for my 45min session has been between 400-500.


The last couple of session have recorded around 150 calories????

I also use the running app and cycling app and they seem to be fine and record the correct calorie count as it always has (about 350/400 on a 5k run).


Of course I have re calibrated, all up-to-date software ect just don’t understand what/why this in now all screwed up.
 
Ok, I assume you've fixed your issue by now, but I once ran into a similar situation with my AW4 as you described above. It happened when I reset my calibration on AW4 and I would then get only cca. 150 calories burned during my HIIT workout. Turns out it was precisely because I reset my calibration and it needed some time to adjust to my settings.

So I followed the instructions on calibrating my AW here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204516 and then my HIIT workouts started improving. After two workouts I started getting 400-450 cals burned per HIIT workout again.
