The past 4 weekends, my friend and I have been comparing our trackers during our runs.  She has an Apple Watch and I have a new Sense.  We start and end our trackers simultaneously.  At the end of every run, her Apple tracker generally shows she runs approximately 1 km  to 1.2 km more than me.  For example, on my Sense, we ran 7.7km this morning but on her Apple, we ran 8.9km.  

 

Which tracker is the more accurate/reliable or is there something wrong with my Sense?

That's interesting.

 

I run with both the Fitbit and Nike Run Club (Nike+) on my iPhone.  Sometimes they are similar and sometimes they disagree by a tenth of a mile or so.  If you can, use something like Map my Run to see what the actual distance is.
