My ionic doesn't track miles and steps correctly. I ran with ionic run app and also a running app in my android phone. Phone GPS was showing higher miles than ionic showing. For ex, when I hit 3 mile mark in phone GPS, ionic shows only ~2.8 miles or lower. Is there a known problem with GPS on ionic watches?

Yeah the Ionic will not GPS track as accurately vs many other GPS devices. Out of 5 GPS devices we use - the Ionic is the least accurate and least reliable. Comparatively the Ionic will lose its weak GPS signal much more frequently leading to squiggly tracks and large track gaps. So best to be used as a vague GPS tracker where accuracy is not too important. Many others have reported about this problem since the device was introduced. Could be the GPS antenna is not well placed or of low quality. As our old simple GPS Timex watches track much more consistently than the Ionic.
Definitely our various smart phones GPS track much more accurately and much more consistently.

With this bad experience having Ionic tracking issue, I am rethinking of upgrading to latest FitBit devices though they look attractive in both look and price point. I have started looking into other makes in the market. Anyone has information about tracking in the new FitBit devices/
