I am using a polar pacer watch to track my runs. Then I sync it with Strava. 
surprisingly the data does not match btw polar and Strava. If synching I am assuming that the data from polar is basically just pushed to Strava - so basically a copy paste of the data from polar. 
But this is not the case and the Strava data shows different pace per km which is really weird. 
i don’t have my mobile with me during the run - only my polar watch. So I wonder what is happening there on Strava? 

see some pictures. 
 

can someone help understand?

Hello ​@Pb111 and thank you for your post.

 

Sorry about the discrepancies between your activities as shown on another platform and Strava. We are two separate platforms with different calculations so certain aspects of your activity analysis may be different. We use our own calculation for pace and moving time based on the GPS data that is sent to us. This means that even though the elapsed time is the same, the moving time can be a bit different, which can cause differences in average speed/pace.

 

We feel confident that we are accurately representing your data, but are always working on improving our calculations and appreciate your feedback. You may want to search our support site for more information and discussions on this topic.
