Caloric accuracy with a high heart rate?

I feel like my calorie counts are very high. I saw in another post that high heart rates will cause higher calorie counts, but it didn't explain if that means that the count of the watch is off or if that same calorie burning is actually happening.

For reference I'm 20AFAB (assigned female at birth and currently not taking hormones or anything) 163cm 70kg. My base calories are around 1400 coming to around 1800 with little movement, I don't exercise a lot. This is what my watch came to as well but my calories keep going past 2000, photos of calories and heart rate for reference up top. Thursday I took one walk, which was also the calorie sinc walk so maybe I'm just too quick with getting concerned. Today I went to school with public transport and we had a lesson where we were walking around a lot plus I went up a few stairs. Nothing special I think but my calorie count is super high.

If anyone can shed some more light on this it is appreciated :)
