Chris Jul 2018 6:32am, 20 Jul 2018 1,021 posts	0 Chris Got to love how ~~strava~~ thinks it knows better than the makers of the watch. Good running, was it fairly flat?

chunkywizard Jul 2018 7:31am, 20 Jul 2018 5,891 posts	0 chunkywizard Your watch just records positions into a file, how those positions translate to a course are open to interpretation ie, what happened between this second and the next second (or longer if your watch uses smart recording) did you travel straight, in a curve or something else. ~~strava~~ and Garmin use different interpretations hence the different values.
SPR Jul 2018 8:23am, 20 Jul 2018 26,747 posts	0 SPR Good work Rhb. The watch physically laps doesn't it? I've notice my watch not react to lap presses immediately so can see errors creeping in there. ~~strava~~ is just splitting your run every km, I'd guess Fetch and ~~strava~~ agree?
