Versa Vs Charge 3 showing different miles/distance on a walk.

[SeanBoyd]

Hey,

So today my sister and I went on the same walk together at the same time, she was wearing a Charge 3 and I was wearing my Versa.

We both manually started our walk tracking on our watches and connected them to GPS on our phones at the same time. We then started to walk and stayed at the same pace/distance for the walk but after the walk her Charge 3 said 3.17 miles and my Versa said 2.6 miles.

I know it's okay that we don't have the same steps on the walk because of stride length etc but why was the distance so different? Is there some scientific reason that I am not thinking about?

Hi @SeanBoyd,

It sounds like it could have been stride difference. Even a small stride difference can make a big difference over an activity.

Another possibility is that her phone (or yours), has more accurate GPS reported from one of the phones.

You could take the Versa to a track or somewhere that you know the exact distance, and check yours there.

Also, make sure you're running the current firmware. Hope that helps.
