A bomb calorimeter is more accurate than a simple calorimeter.

The experiment that is releasing energy is done in an enclosed contained completely surrounded by the water in which the temperature change is being measured, so all the heat energy released gets into the water and none is lost around the sides of the calorimeter - a major source of error in a simple calorimeter experiment.
