Hello,

I have been setting a walk in the Fitbit app, on my Versa 2 and Huawei Health app and the distances are different from each other. 

 

The Fitbit app (using GPS) shows the greatest distance, the Versa 2 is 0.2 miles less from the Fitbit app, and Huawei Health (using GPS) is 0.4 miles less than the Fitbit app. Which one is right?

 

The Fitbit app also says I burn 600kcals on a 6km walk this I believe is highly over exaggerated, the Huawei health says around 200kcals (I'm a chonky lady!) Which may be more closer to correct.

Thanks for the information provided.

 

In this case, I would recommend visiting this article about how accurate is GPS data captured by your Fitbit device.

 

In addition, please check out these requirements to register GPS activities.
