Garmin watch is way off tracking my bike rides

My bicycle rides are way off. Garmin 965 shows 23.3, 24.2, and 9.88 miles, Strava 63.?., 66.?, and 29.89. I said it to the most accurate mode. And these are big loop routes, not just back and forth on a single road. Why is my watch so far off?

Post links to the activities in Garmin Connect and Strava so we can take a look at it.

This sounds like you have a sensor (maybe a E-Bike?) connected to your watch and the distance is coming from there and not from the watch. The sensor needs to be calibrated, if not, the distance will be incorrect, like in your case.

These are the Garmin watch. 965 recordings. They automatically connect to Strava. In Strava, if the distance is wrong you can correct that in Strava so I did that.

Thank you, it's a cadence sensor connected to it. I'll disconnect it and see what happens
