Mileage not reading on the app correctly

I have an apple watch series 1that I have been using the exercise app on. The run time and my splits are showing correctly in the Activity app, but the distance is incorrect by almost 2 miles. What is the deal? Anyone else having this problem?

Apple Watch Series 1, watchOS 6

Apple Watch 6 does not measure distance accurately I received my new Apple Watch 6 yesterday, first time I've ever had one. I used the Workout app on a run this morning, for a distance I know to be exactly 4 miles. It's a 2 mile loop I ran twice, I've measured it with my car and MapMyRun. As you can see in the attached screenshot, the watch measured it at only 3.48 miles. Any ideas on how to fix this? Pretty disappointed for a $500 device to be that inaccurate.

Fitness App not recording partial miles from Apple Watch I have an Apple Watch Series 6 running the latest software, watch iOS 9. About a week ago it stopped displaying partial mile information on runs. For example, I run 3.5mi but it will only give me data (pace, heart rate, total time, cadence, etc) for 3 miles. It’s not deleting the additional distance, just not giving any data about it. That’s started a week ago. Anyone know how to resolve? Thanks.

Inaccurate mileage My Apple Watch series 5 is not showing the correct mileage. I walked 2 miles on a treadmill and my watch is only showing .31 mi. It never corresponds with my treadmill workout.
