My new Apple Watch fitness app measure my steps accurately but not distance. It includes distances I drove in my car - so I may walk 5000 steps but my distance could be 15 miles. How do I fix this?

My Apple Watch fitness app measure steps correctly but not distance. For example, it will say I walked 5000 steps but travelled 15 miles. It seems to include distance travelled in a car - not walking or running. How do I fix this?
