Just got my Versa 3.  How do I calibrate my stride length?  I ran 2.2 miles but my Fitbit said 1.88🤦🏻‍:female_sign:  I know the route is 2.22 miles.  Please help!

Hello @KGiboo and welcome to the Community.  If you were using GPS, then this is the GPS calculated distance.  Were you using GPS or not?

Take a look at the Fitbit help site for further assistance and information.

Regardless the use of GPS or not, you can change the stride from Fitbit app, click on your profile icon on top left, then Activity & Wellness, Exercise and Stride Lenght.

Thank you soooo much. I was in Vegas with my friend and we walked a lot.
She’s 3 1/2 inches shorter then me and we did not use our fit bits. She
had like 18,000 more steps than me😱I knew there would be a difference but
not that much!!! I will do a 1 mile GPS walk, then do the same walk no GPS
and calibrate my stride!
