Strava showing incorrect values with amazfit 6

I recently got a new Amazfit 6 and recorded a treadmill run. Initially, the distance was off, so I calibrated the run to match the treadmill distance. After calibration, the Zepp app shows the correct distance and pace, matching the treadmill exactly.

 

However, once the activity syncs to Strava, the distance is reduced, which results in an incorrect pace, even though the total time remains correct. This suggests that Strava is overriding or recalculating the treadmill distance instead of using the calibrated value provided by the device/app.

 

Is there a way to ensure that Strava uses the original calibrated treadmill distance from Zepp for indoor runs, or any setting/workaround to prevent this recalculation?

Did you calibrate the distance before or after you had saved the activity? Was GPS enabled even though it was indoor?

The gps was turned off in my phone and i calibrated the distance after my run before saving it in my watch. After my activity, while ending it only i had the option to calibrate the distance. The calibration got uploaded correctly to the zepp application but was incorrect in the Strava app

But you didn’t record with the phone so was GPS enabled on the Amazfit? Strava would use that to recalculate the distance.

GPS was on my watch but it was treadmill run so gps wasn’t needed

You have to disable GPS then for future indoor activities or use an indoor profile on the watch that automatically disables it.

You have to consult the manual of your watch for that.
