Upgrading from Charge 6

I currently have a Charge 6.

I use it primarily for treadmill running and walking. 

Distance is ok for running for awful for walking. May have pinpointed the difference to the angle of my arms. But I don't always need to pump my arms when I walk.

Looking at upgrading my watch and I'm wondering if there's a more accurate Fitbit for treadmill workouts that also have GPS for road races.

Do you ever hold handrails when walking?  That would likely cause steps not to be recognized, giving shorter distance.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.

Please assume I know how to walk.

 

Would be nice to avoid the back and forth of obvious problems and just get a solution 🙄
