Calorie count on MapMyRun

Ok so I use MapMyWalk/MapMyRun regularly on iphone 8+. I typically burn 100+ calories per mile. I just got an Apple Watch yesterday, I went on a walk at lunch. I walked 2.4 miles, and it is saying I only burned 69 calories!!!!! How??? Yet the calculator on their website says it would have been over 300 calories, and I am confident that using my iPhone rather than the watch, I would have been in the 300+ range as well. What gives? I did not spend $340 on this watch for it to be garbage. I am using the AppleWatch 3 with gps only.

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 11.2.5

Make sure your Apple Watch software is up to date > Update your Apple Watch - Apple Support

And make sure your iPhone iOS software is up to date > Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Everything is already up to date, I did not calibrate, but I’m using a third party app so I wouldn’t think I’d have to. Distance and location are all accurate, just not calories burned.
