Sep 14, 2015 9:12 AM in response to cslby John Galt,Apple has never publicly discussed any specific algorithms and is not likely to do so.
One can only assume such algorithms exist and take into account all the information you or your Watch provides, specifically age, sex, weight, heart rate, environmental conditions, motion and orientation detection, and the type of exercise being performed.
Some time ago, Apple was said to have hired a number of experts in human physiology who were presumably involved in its design. I am not aware of any published scientific test results regarding its estimates. All I can say is that they appear to be reasonable estimates based on my experience with it over several months.
