Hi, i have Fitbit Blaze and when i use it for running i can se when i finish that the measured kilometers is 1-1,2 kilometer off the other app i use.

I run with other runners and i can see that the result from Fitbit app and other my other app and the other apps and watches my co runners are using is 1-1,2 kilometer off.

So The Fitbit app and watch is not precise. What to do?

It's great to have you here @Pinheiro2705! Each tracker or app will show you different information because they will use different algorithms. You can learn more about how my Fitbit device calculate distance by checking the article above. Also, since if you're using GPS check the following How accurate is GPS?. 

 

Hope this helps!
