Q: Apple Watch Activity monitor calculates lower calories

I have compared Appe Watch Activity monitor with FitBit/Digifit/Rhytm+ set up during my work out.

For indoor run Apple Watch calculated only about 30% of calories burnt that FitBit/Digifit/Rhytm+ did.

For StairStep Apple Watch calculated only about 50% what  FitBit/Digifit/Rhytm+ did

And for Elliptical Apple Watch did much better calculated about 75% of what  FitBit/Digifit/Rhytm+ did.

 

Did anybody do such comparison?

 

I think the problem is that AppleWatch heart rate test is inaccurate and it does not know my weight to properly calculate calories burnt.
