Unfortunately, it is not the most accurate. If you wear full sleeved clothing which cover your Apple Watch, it will report wrong numbers.

Yeah unfortunately you have to have the screen exposed for a few minutes each time you go outside.

I spoke to the team at Apple, they said as long as you have a couple of minutes in the sunlight while you're on a walk it will then use sensor fusion to count the rest of the time outside.
