Strava and Apple Watch issue?

Hi everyone,

I run daily, and have been logging with my apple watch. Sometimes the first mile is a problem. Like today - I know I ran 8 miles for sure, but the watch logged the first mile at 01:44 minutes, and the map starting mark was 3/4 of a mile after my actual start point, but it still got the distance total correct. Weird no?

Another time first mile was logged at 05:30 when in reality it was approx 07:30.

Wondering why the watch isn't logging the first mile properly - I know there is something where the watch has to be disconnected from the phone - which I've been doing, but it's still doing this. Does it need to be disconnected for a few minutes total before I run or something?

Thanks!
