Have been using Strava for a few years now and due to the issue with the pause button basically going missing while running having to use alternatives. 

Have a Galaxy watch 6 and i know theres always slight differences with runs amd using the GPS' of a few metres if doing a 6k run. 

 

Now i know that the bottom pic, as captured by Samsung heath IS correct as ive done that run about 130 times, however when the run is transferred to Strava the data is all incorrect, time, distance etc. Strava always adds on extra distance to make me seem faster! 

Why???

 

Sorry for the differences you're seeing in your activities. These data discrepancies could be due to the way Samsung Health is analyzing the data.

 

For example, consider the process of determining how much resting vs moving time is in an activity. What constitutes a rest? Is it when you're at rest for 1, 3, 10, or 20 seconds? And what does your speed have to fall below in order for you to be considered at rest? 1 second might capture too many false positives and 20 seconds may be too strict. One calculation isn't necessarily correct or incorrect, but we do feel we're using standards that most athletes would agree upon.

 

We understand our athletes use hundreds of different devices and apps and are doing our best to accurately analyze each file. We're always working to improve our athletes' experience and we will pass this feedback along to our engineering teams.

 

I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please let me know.
