apple watch activity distance wrong vs runkeeper & garmin
I have been running with the apple watch both with and without the paired phone and it is totally off. I know some others have posted with very accurate results, but for me it's off by a lot even when i have the phone with me. I have done the calibration (multiple times and for multiple hours) and even with the phone its off by quite a lot. Don't laugh at my incredible slowness, i'm nursing an injury, but here's the proof:
I've got a call in to apple support now, hoping they can fix this. I could live with some inaccuracy without the phone, but when running with the phone being less accurate than an app running on the phone really makes the watch itself a truly useless accessory. I got the watch in the hopes it would be a reasonable tracker without the phone but not having it work with or without the phone is a massive bug. If I run without the phone this goes from half a mile difference to a mile or more!
