Fitbit charge-2 is not calculating the distance accurately. If suppose, i do 5km, the distance in the fit bit shows 7.2KM. please suggest me to resolve the issue. Thanks!
@TerriF1965 With Charge 2, without phone nearby there is no way to get biking distance. For walking or running, it estimates distance as number of steps times stride length.
Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
Thanks, Johnny Row. It has been frustrating because when I walk or run with my husband or one of my kids, all of whom have the iWatch, my Fitbit consistently shows a much shorter distance than their iWatch does.
@TerriF1965 I have no idea if the iWatch has GPS. But you might try checking your stride length, or if you trust the iWatch numbers, just gradually increase your stride length until it gives same distance as theirs.
