I’ve been using the Strava app on my iPhone 15 for the past few weeks. I have an Apple Watch Series 3 also which I have downloaded the Strava app too. Today when I went for a run I recorded the run via the Strava app on both my phone and watch. My phone said the distance was 8.1km however my watch recorded it as 7.5km. Does anyone know why this has happened and which is likely to be more accurate? Read a few things online saying that Strava on apple watch 3 isn’t great so this may be why?
Thank you in advance 🙂

Hey @Nnr3017,
In some situations you can change the distance that is shown for your activity. Changing the distance stream may also update the pace or duration of an activity. If your device created a distance stream using sensors such as a speed sensor, pedometer, or accelerometer, you can switch your distance on Strava to use GPS data rather than the generated distance stream.
To swap your distance stream:
Change your mind? That’s OK! Simply follow the directions above again and select ‘Revert Distance’ and the original stats will be reinstated.
For more information, see our article on How distance is calculated for your activity.
