Apple Watch 9 recording activity incorrectly

why is my Apple 9 Watch not correctly recording my activity. Did a 6.1 mile walk at 3.8 miles per hour taking 1 hour 37 minutes but my watch only recorded 46 minutes.

My Adidas Running App recorded 1 hour 37 minutes.

Same issue yesterday, but prior to yesterday and today would record the same time.

have you tried to calibrate the watch to see if the issues persist?

While wearing your Apple Watch, go to a flat, open outdoor area that offers good GPS reception and clear skies.
If you have Apple Watch Series 2 or later, you just need your Apple Watch.* If you have Apple Watch Series 1 or earlier, bring your iPhone for GPS. Hold your iPhone in your hand, or wear it on an armband or waistband.
Open the Workout app, then tap Outdoor Walk or Outdoor Run. To set a goal before starting, tap the More button.
Walk or run at your normal pace for about 20 minutes.
