Hi, my recorded distance on AW is too short. I checked that Motion Calibration & Distance is turned on on the phone. By using the watch for running (on Strava) it should be calibrating all the time, correct? Why is the distance still too short?

Hi, my recorded distance on the Apple Watch is too short, shorter than everyone else running alongside me. I checked that Motion Calibration & Distance is turned on on the phone. By using the watch for running (on Strava) it should be calibrating all the time, correct? Why is the distance still too short?

Thanks, I read these articles. I think I do everything that's recommended, so why is distance still off? Does calibration not work in Strava maybe (I don't use Apple workout app)?

Maybe Strava has it's own calibration,I don't use it because it's too inaccurate.
