Apple watch not tracking distance accurately My Apple Watch recently has had issues resetting during workouts -- stopping in the middle of a run, for instance. It is also not recording distances accurately. In a certified 10K (6.2-mile) run, when I hit the 1-mile mark, the watch showed 0.88 miles and subsequent mile markers were also much different than shown on the watch; by the end of a 6.2-mile run, the watch showed 5.75 miles. Any ideas on a fix, please? Thanks

Inaccurate distance measurement Hello, I have upgraded to WatchOS 8 this week on my Series 6 Apple Watch. In my first outdoor run after the upgrade (measures in the Fitness app) I have witnessed distance measurement that was at least 30% off (shorter) than what I normally get. Any suggestions how to fix this? Many thanks, Ondrej

Inaccurate distance measures How can I get my Apple Watch Series 5 to measure distance correctly again? Up until Jan 2021 it was fine, now it is always wrong.
