Cant find 'Calibrate & Save' after a treadmill workout

Hello together,

I have a Charge 6 since today and before a Garmin Instinct 2x.

Normally I do everyday treadmill walk at 4km/h, 17,5% incline for 45 mins.

My HR is around 120 - 125bpm.

Anyways, this leads to a distance of 3KM.

Garmin has the possibility to 'Calibrate & Save' after a treadmill workout.

Is there something similar in Fitbit, because Charge 6 is showing 3.67km.

My stride lenght settings are set to automatically.

Garmin has calculated stride lenght of 65cm.

Hi, @McLovinHawaii! Unfortunately, Fitbit doesn't have this feature.

So what would be a good workaround here?

Set the stride length to manual for walk to 65cm?

But then maybe it will not match to an outside walk, right?

Or this is not a big drama, because during walking outside gps is activated, right?

Did today morning again same treadmill session, a walk at 4km/h, 17,5% incline for 46 mins.

Before that set stride length to 65cm for Walking:

This time with 65cm its much better, Fitbit says 3,15Km

This is, what I had these days with Garmin (64cm stride length), also the calories are matching to Fitbit, I'm impressed 😊

For the next session I will adjust it to 64cm.

Lets see, how it will come out.

With 64cm stride length matches the distance on treadmill and Charge 6 perfect now 🙂
