Mileage not being registered

[Caghayes]

Got my Fitbit blaze yesterday and went for a 4.10 mile hike and my Fitbit only registered it at 2.87 miles. I have done this hike at least 50 times and it's always been the same with my Garman. So why is the Fitbit not registering the right amount of mileage?

 So I got a  iMessage saying that I needed to bring my phone to get correct mileage. Is that just for the first time so that it can sync or do I have to bring my phone every single time? The whole idea for me to get this watch was so that I did not have to bring my phone

I dint think the Blaze has a GPS built in so, like me, you will need your phone connected to use its GPS to accurately log mileage.

If you don't have the phone with you, you will need to setup the stride.
