Wearables are just making the same rudimentary guesstimate as that calculator but with the convenience of some of the inputs being entered for you.
Just as your nutrition apps are just based on averages from measured samples that can be considerably different than the food you actually ate.
Trying to measure calories precisely is a fool's errand. Best to just accept that it's all a guesswork and use it only as a rough guide.
does heart rate measurement not allow more accurate estimates of calories burned than a calculation based on weight and distance run? i know nothing about biology so im open to being educated here, but i assumed a wearable that monitors your heart rate would be able to get better results than a calculator
