Watch distance incorrect on Suunto Race
-
Hey,
I have a Suunto Race for about 3 weeks now, I had a Suunto Spartan Sport previously.
I have used the Suunto Race on 3 runs and I have noticed each time that the distance displayed on my Race is incorrect BUT when I sync it to the app and the date is transferred to Strava, it is displayed correctly by Strava.
I run the same distance on all 3 runs, I have used a on this run numerous time and and I know the distance is approximately 10K.
When I have completed the run my Suunto Race indicates that I have only run 6.5K but Strava tells me 10.5K, which is correct.
I have checked the log book on the Race and it still logs the run as 6.5K and not 10K. The log book is correct in the time I took to complete the run.
I have completed a hard rebook of the watch without success.
I did ensure that the GPS was on before starting each run and I have checked that the GPS file has the correct timestamp.
Has anyone have any ideas on how to resolve ?
Thanks

10.5k IS 6.5 miles. Your watch is set to Imperial. Change it to Metric.

@TitaniumDave
fortunately this is an uncritical case…
there were spaceships blowing up by mistakenly mixing up imperial and metric systems… -
@freeheeler I read the post and I was like “Wait a minute”… Then I did the math, then I looked it up, then I posted.
If I’m not mistaken, there have been some issues with airliners as well. Incorrect fuel calculations and whatnot.

I’m glad we globally agreed on 24h a day and 60mins per hour
