Versa connected GPS not recording accurately

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

So I have been running the same short route for 2 weeks now, its a straight line and by map comes out at roughly 2.1 miles.

 

The Versa connected GPS sets this at 1.75miles each time, however my friends Apple watch and my Strava GPS will get roughly 2 - 2.1 miles. What's interesting is that if Strava is running at the same time as fitbit connected GPS then fitbit also reads 2 - 2.1 miles.

 

Can anyone help me understand why this is? I feel like its a connection problem between the watch and my phone? I have uninstalled and re-installed fitbit, factory reset the watch and made sure all my GPS settings are on and nothing is restricted. Its frustrating that its not recording accurately, as its the whole reason I use the watch.
