Not getting a consistent distance when running, I would run the exact same route with one day telling me I ran 1.7km, and the next day its telling me I ran 2.06km. Phone GPS is on and with me and I make sure its connected before starting my run. Very frustrating, main reason I purchased this product. Any help is appreciated.

I have found that I l can lose more than a mile, and get highly varied results for the same course.  I have plotted out my run courses using satellite maps.  Over the past week or two, I have run the same four mile course, and my Charge 2 tells me I've run anywhere from 2.86 to 3.81 miles.  I find it very frustrating. I have taken to keeping my own excel log with the known mileage.  I am essentially using my Charge 2 as a timer at this point.
