I bought a refurbished Forerunner 35 hoping to be able to stop carrying my phone on each run. Naturally I carried both for a while. My watch seems to Measure a very different distance to my phone, which I believe is correct as phone tells me my parkrun is 5.2k whereas the watch says 6.1!
Somebody advised me to ensure I waited for screen to say ready before starting as it takes time to find all the right satellites etc
Now though I cannot seem to get the watch to Ever say it is ready.
I went out the other day (with both devices) set them both going after 6 minute warm up but the Garmin record only started half the way round my 6k run, making my distance travelled fairly short (but smashed my usual pace In half too!) But it does record distances as I travel, albeit slightly greater than Strava on phone (10.25k on phone is about 11.3k on watch)
I have rebooted but nothing has changed
