Giant > Garmin calories

[pwiles1968]

I understand that there is some sort of issue with the Giant to Garmin power meter readings giving low readings and low calorie count on ride, it did not bother me was going to turn off the power meter then spotted a calibration option on the garmin , tried it it started but never completed even after a mile of riding so I quit but now it does appear I may be getting more normal power readings

Worth a try if you have same issue. For ref I’m on a 2022 reign with the Edge530.

The Calories are still massively down even after calibration and the watts were still much lower than i would expect so i turned it off .

I have the impression that the power calibration option in varius garmin devices (like the edge 530, I have the same) works only with Garmin's own power pedals.

I've had the same result, and using the garmin cardio belt linked to my garmin 530 with out the giant power meter i get completly different results which are more in line with the level of fatigue and the heart rate monitor. I turned it of as well after trying 2 calibrations, multiple outing with hi amount of vert and minimal assistance.
