Inconsistent results with Apple Watch

I have an Apple Watch 5. Prior to this I owned an Apple Watch Series 1. In both cases I have experience an inconsistent calorie count when working out. I know workouts vary, but I have relatively the same workout every morning - 70 minutes on the treadmill (60 minutes at 4.8 mph, and 10 minutes at 4.5 mph). For a long time my calorie burn was between 870-890. All of the sudden it has dropped to between 825-840. When I check the Fitness app on my phone I am walking the same pace (148spm) for the same amount of time and going the same distance (6.97 miles). This happened on the Series 1 and then got better with a subsequent update. It stayed steady for a few months and then dropped again. I have tried restarting the watch. On the Series 1 I deleted and the re pared the watch several times, but never with any change in results. I understand a calorie count is not spot on and a 20 calorie difference is no big deal, but when the difference is 70 or 80 calories for the same workout it makes me wonder whats going on. Any thoughts?
