They examined 7. 60 people worked out wearing the watches while also wearing a clinical grade device to measure caloric output and compare the results.

Reporter smartwatches were giving off dubious numbers here. Do you feel like you burned 1200 calories . No, i dont. I need more exercise. La of laugh. 405 calories. You believe that 405 calories . So i guess i was this is a pretty hilly course. But that seems like a lot for just less than four miles. Reporter all righty.
