Watch Reading Workouts Incorrectly

My Apple Watch has been reading my info incorrectly all day. It gave me 862 calories for a 1.5 mile walk. What gives?

Activity App on Apple Watch When I walk one mile over difficult and uneven terrain, my Activity App says I used 68 calories. Any search shows that walking, even on flat terrain at a moderate speed, uses from 190-240 calories. What's the deal with the Apple Watch?

Fintness app/ Apple watch 7 I set up my apple watch fitness/activities to start a work out, instead I sat and watched a movie for 1.5 h. The finess app showed that I lost active 480 kcal and total of 530 kcal while sitting doing nothing! It is the same amount of kcal i lose typically when i do work out during the same period of time? Dose the watch measures anything or the amount of the burnt calories is just unreliable number?!

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.
