I have a Galaxy S10 with the latest software, as well as the latest updates on the FitBit app and Versa 2.

 

About a month ago, I noticed the built-in fitness app miscalculated my running route by a whole kilometer (I run Strava simultaneously to I make sure both apps' data match).

 

I always loved how accurate the watch reported on my fitness activity, but, with the uncertainty of possibly having inaccurate fitness data.

 

Given that the weather is getting colder, I doubt I'll be using the tracker as much. I look forward to any possible solutions!

I have the same issue, my Versa takes eons to connect to GPS despite my phone having full signal. Never used to be a problem so an update to the app is the likely cause. I’ve tried the usual troubleshooting (restarting, flight mode on/off, Bluetooth pairing on/off) and nothing solves this.

 

When it does connect, it’ll often lose connection multiple times while exercising which is infuriating
