Apple watch not tracking calories properly

I have the series 6 Apple watch (model: A22).

The amount of calories burned doing the same/similar things vary. For example, today i walked 2,700 steps (not a lot) yet apparently burned 300 calories which is less than it usually states i burned on a 6,000 to 8,000 step walk.

Apple Watch Calories Not Tracking Hello all, my Apple Watch 7 is tracking stand, exercise, heart and steps. It will not track my calories. Please help. I’ve tried a million things. Thanks.

Apple watch not tracking exercise? I have a new Apple watch series 6 and it is not tracking my exercise. Every morning I do a 25 min brisk incline walk on my treadmill and typically burn about 220 total cals (and I always get the full 25 mins counted towards my green exercise ring). This morning, I tracked the workout the same way that I always do and only burned 120 cals and got 0 mins counted towards my green exercise ring. My heart rate was up the whole time (148 bpm). Like I said, yesterday was the complete opposite, my treadmill workout counted towards my exercise ring. Does anyone know what the problem might be and how I can fix this issue? Thanks!

Apple Watch Series 4 Incorrect Calories So I am female, about 5’7 250 pounds and I’ve been tracking my indoor walking in one hour intervals using the exercise app. I usually burn around 300-400 calories during these walks and walk 2 miles. Today, however, after my workout I saw that I had indeed walked 2 miles but I had supposedly burned 650 active calories. I really don’t think this is accurate but I haven’t seen any way to fix this. I’ve already updated my watch and calibrated data so I’m not sure why there is such a large inconsistency.
