Runner Needs accurate pace

[Laurellautie]

I have used my versa 3 for five months now, and the GPS tracking is not showing an accurate distance. I run with different people with various watches (Garmin Forerunner, polar, Suunto, apple), and my watch is consistently slower than there's despite running the same route, the same pace.

I have also checked the distance with google maps, and my Fitbit is always slightly off. Usually, it is .1 to .2 miles off per mile. As a competitive runner, this is super frustrating to have my pace be slower than what it is supposed to be and not know what I actually did. I got this watch FOR running, and I don't want to have to buy a new watch!! How can I resolve this? Please help! Thank you!

@Laurellautie Have you measured your stride length and adjusted it in the app? This might help make it more accurate if you haven't done it already. This article here can tell you how to measure it and adjust it in the app.
