Hey guys I've seen similar threads about the inaccuracy issues and I've tried all of those solutions and none of them about. This issue seems to be a little bit different. Basically the number of steps that I take do not match the mileage that I get in the app nor do they match what it should be based on my stride length. For instance I recently walked 3.6 miles and got 5604 steps. Thats a stride of over 40 inches! Which is insane, especially considering I'm only 5'6". Before this (when I first started to notice the problem) I tried manually setting my stride to 26". It's still set at that but obviously isn't registering? I wore my friend's Garmin, who is a similar height and build to me, on the same arm for the same distance and ended up with less than half the steps. Her watch tracked the hike at 7 miles and I confirmed that on map my run. My watch gave mefme 4.8 miles!!! It's not off a little bit, it's off by THOUSANDS of steps every day which is incredibly frustrating.
