Q: Anyone else having issues with the Apple watch workout app calculating out door distance incorrectly when paired with an iPhone?
I went on my first run with the Apple watch today. I took my iPhone with and had it in an arm band. I also turned on the Run Keeper app on the iPhone so I could compare that against what the Apple watch work out app was telling me. Around mile 10 (according to my Run Keeper) I looked down at my watch and it said I had gone 13.5 miles. That's a huge difference and I'm not sure what caused it. I know my GPS was working because my Run Keeper was up and working the whole time. I've ran that route many times and know it's not the 13.5 miles that my watch is telling me. Is there a way to problem shoot this or determine if my watch was unable to sync up to the GPS in my iPhone? I've tried reading online about this and it seems so new that one one else has ran into this issue before.
Thanks!
