ok bit confused, just did a walk with my polar hrm and runtastic iphone app. (hrm not synced to app), the bit i am confused about is how to log the walk.
The results are:
HRM Cals burned 602
Runtastic Cals burned 404
the time was the same.
Do i log the HRM as more accurate?

I think it depends on how good your HRM is. I got a HRM, but the calorie count was way off (30min weight-loss program on an elliptical - elliptical reported over 400 calories burned while the HRM reported just over 100...and I had worked up a pretty good sweat). I mainly use my HRM for making sure I stay in a target zone.
You could always take the average of the two readings.0
