The Strava app on my Wear OS based Ticwatch Pro 5 is suffering from accuracy problems, mainly related to GPS drift. I'm finishing runs with 20% more distance than what is actually correct. This issue does not occur when using the default "TicExercise" app or the "Gear Tracker II" app under the same conditions (same trail, sky access, etc.). I can see the problem during the run and after uploading.

Hello @DaJeffers 


Thanks for your post and sorry to hear about these issues. Sometimes a reinstall of the App will help resolve this.


Note: I am assuming your watch is running on Wear OS 3 or higher. Please do not proceed with a reinstall if you are using Wear OS 2. 


To perform the reinstall: 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


Please let me know if this doesn't help.
