How accurate is my new Charge 5 without stair climb

[Millymoo42]

I went for a hike wearing my Charge 2 a couple of wks ago. Did roughly 14km and burned 3007 cals having climbed the equivalent of 204 floors. Walking uphill burns more cals then walking on the flat, so if i did the same walk wearing my new charge 5, would it show the same amount of cals burned as it wouldn't take the uphill climb into account.

@Millymoo42   The calorie burn algorithms are heart rate based.  So if you huffed and puffed, and didn't slow down going up those hills, then the calorie estimate will reflect the extra effort.  To be clear, the floors climbed are simple relative altimeter readings.  They have never figured in to calorie burn.
