Hi, I recently bought an Apple watch series 8 and an Iphone 14 pro, and both of them exaggerate the amount of steps and the walked distance by around 40%, with the watch always showing more steps and distance than the phone. Does anyone know how to fix this?
This is my first watch, but owned other Iphones before and never had this problem.
Thanks!
Apple Watch Series 8, watchOS 9

If you are noticing that your step count is different than expected, it may help to Calibrate your Apple Watch for improved Workout and Activity accuracy. It is also suggested to back up, update, and restart both devices:
