for about 12 months I continue to be frustrated with HUAWEI ultimate data updates to Strava. Initislky there was an error factor of about 1% which I can forgive and add 1% to my runs but it has become very unpredictable

There also appears to be growing discontent and criticism of HUAWEI. 

For examples... I have today completed a 5k park run my wife garmin recorded 5.05, her Strava 5.04. On the same run, My HUAWEI intimate 5.14km uploaded to Strava 4.93. And last week I did a did a half marathon and additional 300m to make sure I recorded a half marathon (HUAWEI 21.4km) but upload to Strava was only 20.56km... you can imagine I'm not happy… loosing out on recording a 5k and a half marathon. You are right, I’m not happy… 

I love the HUAWEI ultimate but I'm not going to continue with the distance and pace uncertainty when I run. And unless there is a conscious effort to fix this  software integration issue, I'm going to get a Garmin Fenix.

You could try the “Correct Distance” feature on the Strava website. If that doesn’t work satisfactory or isn’t available then your plan to buy a similar watch model as your wife has seems like the best way forward. In case you want to suggest something for Strava please use the Feature Request Form; this helps ensure your suggestion gets recorded.
