I went for a run/ walk/ crawl today on my normal 10K/6.22-6.25 mile route. I wanted to see if others are experiencing are inaccurate distance calculations as well as pace calculations.
I've been doing this for awhile so I know this route really well. First, in the picture if you zoom in on the yellow fire hydrant, that is 1 mile in my route. Apple watch consistently states one mile right at or just a couple feet before or after it and that's where I start my run. I took the photo about 10 feet from when my watch said 1 mile. Way, way off. Oh and yes I've verified the hydrant is indeed 1 mile one mile by both google maps distance drawing and I drove it.
Additionally, my route is 6.22-6.25 miles. The variation is because sometimes I need to go into the street because of blocked sidewalks or avoiding other things. The run recorded it as 6.59 miles. So it's of by 0.37 to 0.34 miles off. Basically 1/3 mile off. I could understand some minor distance like 1/10 of a mile but 1/3?
Is anyone else noticing this inaccuracy with their runs/walks?
Also, the floors climbed is way off. I've done 9 so far today yet it only registered 2.
