Anyone have an issue with high calorie counts w/ the 705? I have my rider weight listed as 170 and my bike at 17lbs, but am getting anywhere from 1500-2000 calories for an hour ride- pretty much double what is should be.
Thanks,

Bella,
It’s a pretty well known fact that the Garmin calorie count is… not to be trusted! I am not surprised it’s still the case with the 705.
My 305 works fine. I will contact Garmin and see if they have an answer.
My GF was using my Edge 305 on the indoor trainer with the cadence/speed sensor…one day she rode 30 minutes at 13.2mph and the next day 32 minutes at 13.5mph. One day it said 321 calories…the next day 774!!! Yeah…something’s a little wrong with that algorithm. Everything else works great though!!!
