My wife’s Samsung watch 5 has stopped syncing the full distance recorded on the watch.

she uses the Strava app and can complete 8km but when syncing it records as 4.25km or another random distance. 

has anyone had this problem? Any ideas how to get the activities to record properly 

Hello @Griffomarkii 


So sorry to hear about the issue.  If this problem is persistent, I recommend trying a reinstall of the App. Please have your wife follow the instructions below:


Please go ahead and delete the Strava application from your watch. Power your device off for 10 seconds, turn your watch back on and reinstall the Strava application. Unfortunately, this means any unsynced activities will be discarded.


Google Play Store:


Strava: Track Running, Cycling & Swimming


How to update your apps on Android: Support - Google


If this doesn't help, please ask your wife to submit a support ticket and we will be happy to work with her and do further troubleshooting.
