Polar HRM and polar personal trainer webside

nymphis

I have recently received a polar ft7 for my birthday. I started using it along with the polarpersonaltrainer.com. I noticed yesterday when I manually added my data onto the website that the number of calories burnt was different than my watch. My data was as follows:

Duration: 59.13 mins
Calories: 639
Avg: 170
Maximum: 191

According to polarpersonaltrainer website the calories burnt would have been 939. My question is who is wrong? I safely assume it's the website, but why such discrepancy between figures?

I know this post is really old, but was wondering if anyone else is having the same issue and/or knows the answer?

Sorry- cant help. Maybe you should contact Polar.

I would contact them... I have the flowlink for my FT7, so it down loads all the data for me (all I have to manually enter is my kilometres...) I haven't noticed any issues with the data not matching the watch

Check profile: weight and gender.

Check profile: weight and gender.

Thank you! While height, weight, and gender all matched up between FT4 and PPT, other settings did not. RHR, MHR, and aerobic/anearobic thresholds did not.

Nope, that didn't change it. All settings are identical, yet PPT still tries to autocomplete calories burned with a different number than I get from the FT4. Not a big deal, but it can be changed to my number, but still curious.
