Anyone understand what's happening here? Went for a run, watch showed 7.51 miles when I ended the exercise on my Ionic. When it uploaded to the Fitbit app, the distance showed 7.51 miles on the activities screen, but only 7.43 miles when I go into the run. It's then automatically uploaded to Strava as 7.42?? This is the third time it's happened and it's starting to get irritating!

I'm getting this too on my fitbit versa, its been happening since I had a fitbit system update at the beginning of October, it's really irritating as my regular running routes keep under reporting and I'm losing about .2 of a mile with each run.

Similar timing for me, hadn't thought about updates but think I had one around that time too.

Just in case you've not seen this I did some more searching yesterday and came across this post

Looks like its affecting a lot of different models especially with android phones I've got a Samsung S9 so that might be part of the problem.
