How does the watch calculate calories burned?

Can anyone explain the calculation your watch and phone use to determine the calories burned during any workout? Is there a change to this calculation based on the type of workout you choose to select when you turn your activity app on?

The watch calculates burnt calories based off the information you entered in the health app,gender,height,weight etc.

Also the 78 different workout types use different algorythms as some workouts burn more calories than others.
