I know there have been numerous postings on this device and others. I've been searching all morning for answers. I'm hoping that someone who also has one can help me out.

The Link registered my elliptical workout (30 min) this am at over 700 calories burned! And while it is vigorous, I'm sweating, heart rate up etc., that seems way out of whack! MFP has always said around 400...and I've read that that can be high. I purchased this device for more accuracy. What do I believe?

It also registered my 30 minute commute as moderate activity.

And, I'm having difficulty keeping it paired to my iPhone. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding its function. Do I need to press the button on the band and re-pair it to my phone, every time I want to see the reading on the phone?

Thanks in advance for any help.

    When I look at the graph in the Activity Manager, it shows roughly 12 cal/min burned during my actual workout. For a 30 minute workout, that's 360 calories, not the 700+ (can't remember exactly) that it read on the screen post workout. Not sure if that clears anything up...it just confuses me more.
