    and that is on you if you have an issue with it, by not doing your research and due diligence when you spend Euro700.

    Just read any review from DCRainmaker / 5kRunner and the host of other material freely and easy available on a website near you. In this day and agae if you buy and item and it doesn't do what you want it to do that is really on you. Even if you purchase an item only to find they aren't the most durable - to a degree that purchase choice is again on you - there is loads and loads of information out there on durability, VFM and quality of any item you want to purchase.

    So to be complaining about a known issue - seems a bit silly. Especially when for most it really isn't an issue, and generally the differences people are referring to and complaining about are marginal and really don't change a life.

    If this problem exist Garmin MUST put in on the description of the product

    I've read and watched dozens of review and NOBODY says that GPS is worse than a 300€ watch. Nobody says that a Forerunner is more accurate

    fully agree ! What looks strange also is that some people have problem and others dont' have.  Or hteu don't run a lot or some watches have this problem and others not.

    I use my Fenix 6X for all kind of activities and I am very pleased with it. Accuracy is just fine. You should not need to know if you ran on the sidewalk of the pavement just from looking at the GPS trace. It is certainly accurate enough to know where you went and what trail you took The title of this thread is totally misleading.

    Look to my images posted before and tell me again that it is accurate enough

    Fenix 6 vs Strava (!) and Forerunner 245.  

    My old one Forerunner 220 had the same result 

    5,61 vs 6,01 and 6,11

    and (!) 5:43 mn/km vs 5:24 and 5:22

    Do you now see my issue??

    Remembering that product manager that once told the marketing team to put "our premium range product is far worse than any competitor" on boxes and commercials?

    Both have the same GPS settings (GPS only, or GPS+Galileo or gps+Glonass) ?   What about recording interval(smart/every second)?. I just got a 6x pro solar after my F5X+ died, so it's a new watch. and it has no issues tracking which side of the road I'm on, or even if I go around a vehicle. on the side of the road.

    Left shows me running through a neighborhood, and right shows 3 laps worth of data which looks pretty much the same for each lap.  (this is not a trail/road, I'm just running around the available area at a the soccer fields)

    I am not disputing anyone's claims only showing that mine seems fine at about a month old.  I have not run with two GPS watches/devices to confirm this one tracks the same. I have run the same routes for YEARS, and this watch reports the same distance at the same route (or close enough I can't tell a difference) as my previous Garmin watches going back to my 910xt.
