As the title implies is it possible to have an estimate of calories burnt without using a heart rate sensor, sort of like Sportstracker does it. So I would see calories value under statistics. I know that would be just an estimate, but still better than nothing. Is this already possible and i'm missing some option to enable it?

Hi,



Those calculators provided very unrealistic values. For some sports you can use the distance/time for an approximation, but for the majority it is not possible. Even for the running, there are no formulas that take into account the slope down/up, for example.



May be in a future version, but I fear hundreds of questions about the accuracy / inaccuracy of these calculations ;)
