i hadnt used my charge 4 in a year but when i started using it again, it hasnt been working right. it keeps saying i didnt run as far as i did. one time i ran a mile and it said i only ran .75 miles at a 10 or so pace (my real time was about 7:30 and today i ran and it again said that i ran a 10 minute mile but i ran farther and not on a track so im not sure of the actual distance (gps wasnt connecting so i couldnt see my distance on a map)
my guess is it is saying i ran .75 of my actual distance
