The calories measured feature on the Xiaomi Smart Band/Watch estimates the number of calories you burn throughout the day and during workouts. It works by using built-in sensors to track movement, heart rate intensity, and personal metrics like age, gender, height, weight, and activity type.
The reasons why the calories measured by the Smart Band/Watch are very high are:
1. The principle of measuring calories in the Smart Band/Watch is to estimate the calories you consume based on your set age, height, gender, and weight. Please make sure that your personal information settings are correct;
2. If the Smart Band/Watch detects movement or heart rate spikes that it interprets as intense activity, it will overestimate the calories burned, especially during exercise or vigorous movement;
3. If the heart rate sensor is not reading accurately due to factors like a loose band, improper placement, or certain types of skin tones, it could lead to inflated calorie estimates;
4. Temperature, humidity, or other external factors could affect the Smart Band/Watch’s sensors, leading to inaccurate readings.
If the calories measured by the Smart Band/Watch are very high, please refer to the following troubleshooting steps:
1. Sync the Smart Band/Watch with the Mi Fitness APP. After syncing, restart both the Smart Band/Watch and your mobile device to refresh the connection;
2. Please ensure the Mi Fitness APP is updated to the latest version;
3. Please check if the device’s firmware is updated to the latest version;
4. Please check that you have selected the correct region. In the meanwhile, make sure that the region on your smartphone, your Smart Band/Watch and the app is the same one;
5. Please reinstall the app and see if the issue still persists;
6. Please restore the smart Smart Band/Watch to the factory setting.
