Wearables can't measure energy expenditure, at most they give you an overblown estimate that is only weakly correlated with actual expenditure.
The closest thing to measuring expenditure is a power meter on a bike or ergo, and then you still technically have to do a lab test measuring expired gases from your breathing to estimate efficiency.
