Q: How can improve accuracy of my distance?
I use my iWatch when running either together with my iPhone 6s or without. When using my iWatch without my iPhone during running the iWatch always underestimate the distance with approx. 10%. This is very annoying especially when I bought my iWatch just for the purpose not to need to bringa along my iPhone when running.
Can someone please advice how to fix this.

The watch is calibrated by using it with the phone while running. If you've already done that, there's not a whole lot else to do. The watch has no GPS of its own and relies solely on the accelerometer. It's always likely to be less accurate than a GPS based device.
Try running a bit more with the phone.
