Calorie Counting Accuracy in T1C

[kandace]

I just bought my T1C for the heart rate measurement and the calorie counting. In my initial experience, the calorie counting seems way off, or at least inconsistent.

I've been told that in my spinning class, I should be burning 600+ calories per session, but I've been around 200 in each session with my avg heart rate 160.

I tested it out on the Stairmaster, and the Suunto showed almost double the calories burned than the stairmaster (avg HR 168).

I then tested it out on the treadmill, and my reading on my Suunto was much lower than the reading on the treadmill (roughly half).

I understand these are all estimations, but they all seem to use the same variables.

It makes me want to return this watch.

Anyone have any advice/experience tackling this?

Thank you.
