I've had a Blaze for about 8 months now. I started running seriously & frequently about 3 months ago and up until today I've been really happy with my Blaze & the features. 

 

On Jan 30, I did a run that was logged as 3.55 miles. I used the running exercise function to track it. Today I did the exact same run - my apartment to a specific cross street - and it logged as 2.81 miles?! That's a huge difference!. This is the first time I've noticed something major, I feel like all of my steps have been consistent with activity level up until now. 

 

Is there any sort of fix for this? I have an iPhone running iOS 10.

Hi, 

can you check the GPS track? I have the feeling that the tracks will be very accurate but for some unknown reasons (somebady is saying that the distance is actually calculated using the steps counting) distance *and therefore pace* is always wrong.

This is a big bug as Fitbit claims that Blaze uses Connected GPS to measure the distance.
