Mileage not adding

Former Member over 4 years ago

I do a lot of training on my treadmill and don’t wear the watch while doing this, as the mileage ends up wrong. When I manually input the run into the app, the mileage is not being added to my monthly total.
Also affecting other badges , if I run 10 mile it’s not registering
The smaller achievements .

Whats going wrong.
Bit pointless being able to manually enter if it doesn’t add to the total

You have to record the Activity with the watch. Manual activities do not count.

If the mileage does not match the distance reported by the treadmill, calibrate the Treadmill Activity profile (see the Calibration option in the menu when you stop the activity, before saving it). And make sure you do not hold the handlebars when running, since when the hand with the watch does not move, the watch cannot count the steps, and therefore the distance will be wrong. If you really need to hold on the handlebars, put the watch on your ankle.

And if even after the calibration, the mileage is wrong, edit the Activity, and modify the distance.

Thanks for that.
I’ll just adjust the mileage after the run.

does seem a bit pointless that you can manually enter workouts if they’re not going to count.

They count, but not for badges and challenges. Most people want the records for other purposes than just for the badges.
