Hi, 

 

 

Today is my first with karoo 2. I have been using suunto with polar hr monitor for two years and I consider their calorie calculation to be one of the best

 

configuring karoo i realized that it doesn't do it like suunto.I have power meter on ma bike but i have questions

 

1. if I export training from karoo to suunto, will the result of total calories burned will be similar to that from suunto?

2. reading earlier topics about hr monitors, and why there is no such functionality in karoo. This feature has been promised for years. I understand that hamerhead says that the largest companies in the world can't count it correctly? 

do you plan to implement this calorie counting function with hr monitor in the near future? or in combination with a power meter ?

 

because if not, I'm returning the device.

  @Arek: I am happy to answer your questions.

  1.  We are aware of an issue where the Suunto App doesn't display Calories from the ride uploaded from Karoo 2 even if you are using a Power Meter on Karoo 2. We hope they will display it in the future. At the same time, you will be able to view the calories on the Hammerhead Dashboard and platforms like Strava.
     
     
  2. Currently, the Calories are calculated from the Power data on the Karoo 2 and it requires a power meter. Our calculations are based on Training Peaks and we believe measuring these values from Power (watts) is more accurate than deriving them from Heart Rate (beats per minute).
     
     That being said, I agree this could be a valuable option to add for those who do not have the Powermeter. I have added your vote for this feature request. Right now, we do not have an exact timeline to share with you.
