incorrect fastest run time

Hello sharada1985,

Thanks for choosing the Apple Support Communities. We understand you are seeing discrepancies between what you have ran, and what your Apple Watch has registered. We suggest calibrating your Apple Watch to get the most accurate measurements possible. Below is how to do that.

Calibrate your Apple Watch for improved Workout and Activity accuracy - Apple Support

"Calibrate your Apple Watch

1. While wearing your Apple Watch, go to a flat, open outdoor area that offers good GPS reception and clear skies.
2. 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.
3. Open the Workout app, then tap Outdoor Walk or Outdoor Run. To set a goal before starting, tap .

4. Walk or run at your normal pace for about 20 minutes.

If you don't have time to finish the workout, you can complete 20 minutes over multiple outdoor Workout sessions. If you work out at different speeds, you should also calibrate for 20 minutes at each of the speeds that you walk or run.

Whenever you walk or run outside using the above steps, your Apple Watch continues to calibrate the accelerometer by learning your stride length at different speeds. Calibration can also improve the accuracy of your calorie calculations in the Workout app, and the calorie, distance, Move, and Exercise calculations in the Activity app. "

We hope this helps.

Cheers!

I had noticed that some of these new "records" awards are just wrong, but I figured this is a relatively new feature that might only evaluate new recordings. However, I just received a new 5K record this morning, which I thought was weird because I had a much faster 5K just two weeks prior.

Hi: did you get a response - I have the same issue for about a month now.

it thinks 41 minutes is faster than 31…

please let me know if they offered a resolution?

(it feels like they broke it with an update.. it’s seems simple formula which went cuckoo)

Hi sharada1985,

At this point it would probably be best to reach out to Apple Support here: Get Support

They'll be able to work with you to get the resolved.

Good luck!

I just checked a day after upgrading to iOS 17.1/watchOS 10.1, and now my badges look reasonable. Thx!
