Does Apple iwatch 2 configure your BMR (basal metabolic rate) based on age, height, and weight?
I am trying to figure out how many total calories I burn a day, including active calories and calories my body burns just to stay alive.

Hi
Apple Watch estimates resting, active and total calories based on your personal information (age, gender, height, weight) and on your activity, as tracked by your Apple Watch during both workouts and general daily wear.
Total calories (active calories + resting calories = total calories) can be viewed via the Activity app on your iPhone:
On your iPhone, in the Activity app, go to: History (tab) > select a day > scroll down to the Move chart > swipe left on the chart to view Total calories.
Active and Resting calories can also be viewed via the Health app on your iPhone:
On your iPhone, in the Health app, go to: Health Data (tab) > Activity > Active / Resting Energy.
If you would like to submit a feature request to Apple in respect of being able to view total calories on your Apple Watch via the built-in apps, then you can do so here:
