2 Apple Watch ultra distance discrepancies

My partner and I purchased 2 Apple Watch ultra’s 3 weeks ago and have noticed some marked discrepancies in the outdoor wall measurements.

We have a daily walk that we cover each morning, walking side by side and obviously covering the same distance and path.

At the end of the walk, my watch states 7.5km and here’s reads 6.4km.

Neither of us have our phones with us while walking and the watches have the same watch OS version.

Thougts?

If one watch seems to be consistently wrong do
