Step length...again

[Captain-Canuck]

Ok, I'm not that bright and a little tech-lazy lately...must be all the hiking 😉

Anyway, I figured out the discrepancy between different step counters. Of course, they all use similar, but not identical algorithms. Buy my main concern, my go-to, the one on my wrist constantly is the FitBit Versa. Instead of accurately measuring my stride, I trusted the software to figure it out...on the "automatically detect setting. My bad. Somehow the watch thought I had short legs for a 6' tall male. It had set my stride to 76cm as opposed to the actual measured length of 82. That is a whopping difference. So, now, everything should be fairly close.

Always best to set it to yours so its more accurate.
