Ambit 3 vs Garmin Edge 530
-
Hello all,
Today, just to make a quick experiment I took both my ambit 3 peak sapphire and my garmin edge 530 on a walk.
Ambit 3 Peak (Best gps setting) 6km:https://www.strava.com/activities/4305949134
Garmin Edge (GPS Only): 4.56km
https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/5790046406Any reason for such a big difference? And which device is most accurate? How can I find out?
-
That 6km distance comes from the watch or is it Strava re-calculation?

Short of A) doing the exact walk again with an accurately-calibrated pedometer or one of those wheely measuring things, you could B) recreate your walk as a route on any number of mapping sites, including Movescount. There’s not enough elevation change there to make much difference to the flat distance … which is 6.04km, give or take.
If you don’t feel MC is correct, try another site (or 6) and take an average. If you don’t believe that, back to (A).

Sympa la ballade…
Oui très bien
In fact, I just moved this year to Lille, and I am discovering around.
