Does anyone use an Apple Watch to monitor exercise calories?

I've just started (again) yesterday and thought it may be beneficial to use my Apple watch to sync my calorie burn directly to MFP. This works by taking my heart rate every few minutes and counting those over a certain heart rate as exercise. I tried it out today for the first time. I did 20 mins on the rower and then about 30 minutes of various activities, planks, squats, donkey kicks, etc etc. This was all recorded as just 160 calories burnt as exercise onto MFP. What do you think? I know if I had logged them as manual entries they would probably have come out a lot higher, but also know they tend to be over inflated. In this way I'm quite happy in them being on the low side. I intend eating about half of them back.

What do you guys think? Anyone else use an Apple watch for this?
