Apple watch calories didn’t count correctly

I just did a 1,023 calorie workout using the Other option (it was yard-work). I checked

my activity rings however, and it said i had burned 908 calories, not 1,023. is there an explanation for this?

Apple watch not calories mistake Hey, I have apple watch 3 And I noticed that it tracks my calories wrong. At first it stopped tracking so I turned off and turned on my watch and It kinda fixed. But now I noticed that when I do workouts my total calories is starting from 101 calories burned instead of 0. What should I do?

Apple Watch counting calories burnt My Apple Watch has counted my total calories burnt as 1,443 although I hadn’t even worn my Apple Watch on this day, i can support this by the fact it also says I have done 0 steps, so as we can tell I hadn’t even worn it, so why has it counted all these calories?

apple watch calories today i finished a 10 minute HIIT workout that I do daily, and usually I burn 100 or more calories, but this time it states I only burned 47. My heart rate is the same, and it's the exact same workout I usually do every single day. I've seen online that others have dealt with this issue before, but is there a reason my watch is suddenly counting calories so weirdly? My apple watch has done this before (showing I've burned a lot less calories for a workout I know burns 100cal), but the lowest point it's reached is 80... Thank you

The 1.023 probably includes calories that you burn working out or not. The Activity Move ring shows only active calories.
