Calories Burned

Hello!
Tonight I wore my HRM for the first time. When I got on the treadmill, the HRM must have synced with the treadmill because it began to pick up my heart rate and show calories on the system. I have a Polar HRM.
The thing I'm wondering is the calories shown on the treadmill were different from what was shown on my Polar watch. About 50 calories difference.
Which should I trust?

My point is that the treadmill synced with the HRM I was wearing. Just like the watch does. The treadmill wasn't just doing an 'estimate' as it generally does when you just plug in your weight.0 -

May not have synced calorie burn and just heart rate..... I would still go with your HRM for the calorie burn0
