Fitbit not measuring distance accurately but Strava is?

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

I started a walk today that was around 6 miles long (on OS Map). So when I set off I started my fitbit versa 2 to record walking exercise - waited for it to buzz and say its connected to my phone and started walking. When I finished my walk it said it was only 4.3 miles.

I have my fitbit linked to strava and when it was imported into strava it said it was 5.77 miles. I don't know how the map looks identical and the distance is 1.3 miles off. Even though strava gets my data from my fitbit?

 

Any help would be great

At least you can get it on to Strava!! Any ideas how I can make sure my runs log onto Strava?

 and again today. Both of this data came direct from my Fitbit (didn't do a separate strava workout). The one on the fitbit app is 0.6 miles out?!
