Calorie Calculation on a vivofit Series Device

Calories burned on vivofit series1 is dependent on an accurate user profile (gender, weight, height, age), the type of activity (running vs walking), and if a heart rate monitor is being used.

NOTE: The vivofit jr., vivofit jr. 2, vivofit jr. 3 and vivofit 4 are not compatible with heart rate monitors.

In addition, the devices calculate both active and inactive (basal metabolic rate) calories to show the total calories burned on a daily basis. To ensure that calorie burn is as accurate as possible please make sure your user profile information is accurate in Garmin Connect. 


1 vivofit jr. and vivofit jr. 2 do not report calorie burn.
