Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Community Walker003,
You may get more accurate results after calibrating your Apple Watch using the following steps:
1. While wearing your Apple Watch, go to a flat, open outdoor area that offers good GPS reception and clear skies.
2. If you have Apple Watch Series 2 or later, you just need your Apple Watch.* If you have Apple Watch Series 1 or earlier, bring your iPhone for GPS. Hold your iPhone in your hand, or wear it on an armband or waistband.
3. Open the Workout app, then tap Outdoor Walk or Outdoor Run. To set a goal before starting, tap.
4. Walk or run at your normal pace for about 20 minutes.
If you don't have time to finish the workout, you can complete 20 minutes over multiple outdoor Workout sessions. If you work out at different speeds, you should also calibrate for 20 minutes at each of the speeds that you walk or run.
Whenever you walk or run outside using the above steps, your Apple Watch continues to calibrate the accelerometer by learning your stride length at different speeds. Calibration can also improve the accuracy of your calorie calculations in the Workout app, and the calorie, distance, Move, and Exercise calculations in the Activity app.
You can find these steps along with additional information you may find helpful, on the following page: Calibrate your Apple Watch for improved Workout and Activity accuracy
We hope this helps!
Resting calories are not accurate
