What do the total calories under move and total time under exercise mean?

I just got my Apple Watch, and I’m a little confused about the metrics in the Activity app. Is there any way to know what these two circled numbers are actually measuring? I’ve looked at a few articles but nothing really fully answers my question. Any pointers would be appreciated!

How are the calories on the Apple Watch counted? Hey. I wanted to know about the activity app. My apple watch shows calories burned even when i am not wearing the watch. How are those calories counted? How can i just account the calories for the time when i am actually wearing the watch? Not sure if anyone else had an issue like this. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

When you complete a workout, should the “active” calories count towards your move ring or your “total” calories? When I complete a workout on my Apple Watch, only the “active” calories I burn are counted towards my move ring, not my “total” calories. Wouldn’t it make sense for the “total” to be what is recorded?
