Wrong calories and wrong distance in treadmill activity Fenix 8

Software version 11.67

Active calories are a joke, I haven't moved at all since morning. It was like that in previous versions, then got fixed, now wrong again.

Also in treadmill activity: I run for 1km and the watch shows 0,2km.

It's impossible for your garmin to 100% accurately gauge your treadmill workout. Distance is gathered through gps and you are staying in place. It's making a guestimate based on steps.

You have to calibrate the Treadmill activity: fēnix 8 Series Owner's Manual - Calibrating the Treadmill Distance (garmin.com)

And avoid holding on the handlebars or the railing of the treadmill while running!

If still not sufficiently accurate, consider wearing the HRM-Pro strap.
