I’m work security in a 20+ story building, when I do my rounds I walk up the stairs to each floor and my new smart watch I got myself today is now telling me I am walking a little more than phone normally says I do. As for the calories it’s saying I’m burning nearly double what my phone pedometer says I do, how accurate is this data? Just to clarify, my phone’s pedometer does have my weight and height so it can better track my performance.

They’re not that accurate, especially if it didn’t ask you your age weight and height.
But as long as they’re consistently inaccurate they can help, start weighing in at a consistent time in a fasted state (first thing in the morning after peeing is most popular) and track your weight and calories consumed. Now you can figure out how many calories a day you need to maintain body weight, if your weights going down over a period of about a week your in a calorie deficiet. If it’s going up your in a calorie surplus (well ignore possible muscle gains for now)
Combined with what your watch Says you burned you now get a better idea gaging your fitness for the day, number go up? Eat a little more OR don’t and the weight will come off faster. Number go down? Reduce portions at dinner.
