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.

Your smart watch tracks your heart rate so it’s more accurate for calorie count as calories burned is more closely related to heart rate not purely steps taken. As for the accuracy of the step count in one vs the other. I’d say the watch is more accurate because the accelerometer in the phone is naturally less sensitive so your screen isn’t constantly flipping from slight tilts.
