Does anyone use the heartrate monitor along with your gps watch? I feel like the calorie count is grossly inaccurate - like way under calculating calories especially compared to a polar hr monitor. I have also plugged in my info and avg heartrate to calculators online and they say I am burning more than the watch says. Just wondering if anyone else noticed this? My watch is older version - maybe they fixed it in newer models?

I always use my heart rate monitor with my garmin, a lot of my workouts are based on a heart rate range. I actually don't even know how to show calories on mine but yes, the heart rate monitor is very accurate.

Yes I agree the heart rate is accurate but the calories burned seems so off to me! It's been driving me nuts for awhile. I should maybe update my firmware at some point???
