Walking

Former Member over 10 years ago

When I use the device for measuring how far I've walked, the distance reflected is always 40% or more off. Do others have this problem? Is the tracking only good for running?

Assuming you have a vivofit or vivosmart, you can set your stride length in the device widget - device settings - user settings.

Thanks for feedback. I have done this with regard to my regular walking stride. The issue is when I 'fast walk' and utilize the distance 'runner' program. The program tracks the time accurately but the distance is off. Today I fast walked 6.1 miles but the distance indicator said 3.3 miles.

It sounds like you have to almost double your stride length. I actually use the same stride length for running and walking as my knees don't let me run anymore.
