VA4 not calculating distance correctly

Denise
over 5 years ago

I did a treadmill walk with a custom stride length of 80 cm. After 1500 steps, which should be 1.2 km, it shows my distance as .40 km (400 m). Is there a setting somewhere I missed? I only set a custom stride length when I noticed how small my distances are being counted, but it seems the custom stride length didn't make any difference. What am I doing wrong?

A thought, could it be that the stride length they want is for running, and they reduce it for walking? Which stride length should we enter? Walking or running?

THanks!

    You can calibrate the watch after finishing your workout, this is possible after a distance of 1,5 kilometers, just hit the screen bevor saving workout. You can also change length of steps in the settings of the connect app or online with web-interface.

    Calibration process is discussed on page 11 of full manual available online.  It did say holding on to railings when walking on a treadmill will affect results. Absent that, your explanation makes sense, but the calibration process may be the way to go.
