Inaccurate calorie count

Hi, I have some concerns regarding the calorie count given by my Versa watch. I had no intense activity today except 1hour of workout session. And my watch says I burned around 1500 cals which is very strange for a lazy day. I know there is a +/- of around 27% but this figure of 1500 is way too up. Any idea why that might be the case? Am I missing on anything?

Are you considering BMR (basal metabolic rate) calories, the calories you are always burning just by being alive.  These often make up more than half your daily calorie burn.  Fitbit always credits these, even when you are not wearing the tracker.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
