Blaze GPS workout distance not matching after syncing tracker

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

Since getting my Blaze my run distances have always been a little short (using gps on my phone) but it didn't bother me too much. However, I've noticed that at the end of a race, the distance on my watch is displaying correctly, then when I end the work out, it loads on my phone anywhere between 0.3 and 2 miles less than I actually did. 

Cycling is much worse. Today i cycled 33 miles and the fitbit recorded 6.8miles. Whats weird is that the route is pretty accurate, but the the miles shown are way out. Route mapAfter reading other related posts i have already tried restarting my phone and watch.

Hi there @Itérati. Good to see you in the Forums! 🙂

 

I'm sorry to hear that the distance doesn't show the same after you sync your tracker to your dashboard, that's pretty strange and thanks a lot for trying to reboot both your phone and your tracker!

 

I would probably recommend setting up your tracker as a new device at this point. For this, make sure to sync your tracker to avoid losing any unsynced data. Then, Give it a restart. You can easily do this by pressing the left and lower right buttons for 10-12 seconds. This will make your tracker to reboot.

 

After that, proceed to set it up as a new device. For this, go to the Account section at the top right corner on the Fitbit app and select the option that says "Set up a new device". Follow the on-screen instructions and once you're done, your tracker should be syncing without a problem.

 

Hope this helps and please, let me know if there's any improvement or not.
