Can you share the GPS track from that run? In my 10 year experience of running on trails, GPS watches tend to be short when running on trails due cutting through corners and switchbacks and straightening curves. I'd say, in my area getting the distances…
Here is a concrete example from a trail run today, and it didn't even have any switchbacks.
Fenix distance: 12.21 miles
Strava distance after distance correction: 12.89 miles, which means the original distance was more than 5% short.

I run many times with running partners who have non Vivoactive watches. I am off (shorted) a half mile for every 6 miles. Over a years running and that is some major missing mileage on my mileage goal

I’m not thrilled so far. Broken out of the box and now distances are way short. I love being a beta tester

Hi, it's identified and should be fixed
