Studies have shown that while modern wearables are highly accurate for heart rate, their calorie burn estimates can have a margin of error that exceeds 27%, meaning users should view the data as a guide, not a precise figure.

While national health guidelines offer a general estimate for average daily calorie intake, typically around 2,500kcal for men and 2,000kcal for women, devices that measure "smart calories" provide personalized but often inaccurate estimates. The key isn't relying solely on the number on your wrist, but rather understanding its context within your overall nutrition plan.
