I’ve read other posts and there seems to be no real solution for this problem. For example, my treadmill shows I’ve walked 2 1/2 miles and my Versa only shows 1.54 on the app. I’ve checked and modified my stride length to new avail so what’s wrong here?

If you are holding on to the bars it will not count accurately. Also you not covering an exact distance because you are not moving forward.

Your tracker dies not measure miles while on a treadmill. It however will count steps of you allow it to. 

Therefore we need to first check the step count.
