Apple Watch - Indoor Run : Not Calculating Distance Run Properly
I've had every version of the Apple Watch, I love them. Since Apple released the Fitness App and the ability to track distance, in mile run, it has NEVER been accurate on ANY of the watches I've owned. Let me explain:
I run both Indoors, on a treadmill, and outdoors, mostly on paths. My indoor runs, I start at 6 mph and raise the speed, in increments of .1, every quarter mile. I generally run 4.5 miles, every other day. When I use the fitness app on the Watch, it will calculate the correct distance I've ran, up to 6.2 mph. When I start to trek up in speed, the Apple Watch does NOT keep up and calculate the distance I've covered. It seems like the faster I run, the less distance the Watch will report. For instance, today and most every day, I ran 4.6 miles, the Apple Watch said I only ran 3.97 miles. So were looking at .6 mile difference, from the treadmill to the Watch.
This happens regularly, and with every Apple Watch that I've owned, and I've owned them ALL. I've researched this up and down and most say, calibrate the watch while running outdoors, delete you data and start over, first running outdoors, for a period of time. Well, I've done this, numerous times to NO avail. I've run on 30 different treadmills and its always the same. The faster I run, the more distance I cover, the apple watch just cant keep up. If I ran at 6mph and just at that speed the entire run, the Watch will calculate the distance properly. The problem is it cant keep up with faster speeds, at all.
Anyone else experience this problem? I guess you would have to run at speeds of 6.5 mph or greater to give an answer, but hoping there are other fitness runners out there who have experienced this?
