Both me and my wife have fitbit Versa watches ... both of us run together daily .. however the distance in each of our watches are not same ... I would not worry if it’s 100 or 200 Metres.. it’s around a 700 to 800 m difference .. what may be the reason for this.

Do you use GPS when you run? If you dont, distancenis based on number of steps x your step length. If you havent measured and entered your step length it will estimate your stride length. HERE is how to measure and enter your stride length.
