Contradictory running information

Below are my running stats. In the Run section at the top of the app, it says the distance is 5.99 km. However, the Pace laps section shows a total distance of 6.05 km. I always run non-stop.

Why are the numbers different? Which one is more accurate and which one is used to shown on the watch?

Btw, this happens for all of my runs. And the number on Strava is similar to the one in the Pace laps section, though it's 0.01 km smaller. I tend to trust Strava more. (I know they round down the numbers)

@kagawa this has been an issue for years 🤷The answer is just one - Fitbit isn't runners watch, they have no idea about running and how to track it (it shows not only in data but also in lack of features specific for running).
