Heart rate seems spot on, compared this to a Garmin chest strap, a Mio Fuse wrist based HRM and also a Basis Peak and they all seem to match well.
Steps seem slightly inflated but I suspect the accuracy will improve with firmware upates. It is about 700 steps ahead of my phone step tracker, so far today my phone shows 5400 and the Garmin shows 6100, but I have other devices that would be 1000 steps higher than my phone. Not sure which is exactly accurate but to me if it is consistent that is half the battle to give you something to shoot for.
Calories are always subjective depending on the manufacturer, they use different algorithms to calculate this and some put more weight on different criteria, some may put more weight on steps, where others take heart rate into account. My morning bike ride on my stationary bike shows my calories burned as 170, the garmin shows 250, but if I use my Mio Fuse with the Adidas mi coach app it shows 400. Not sure who is correct.
