My treadmill calibration is inaccurate. How do I reset my vivoactive 4S without reseting my watch?

You can only make the distance shorter, not longer.

No, you can calibrate it as needed, in both directions.

I do not know how it is on Vivoactive 4S, but on the models I tried, you can calibrate the Treadmill distance after each run, in the menu after stopping the activity, and before saving it. Try scrolling down the menu, it should be there. Or check the user manual, if you do not find it.

You can only make the distance shorter, not longer. The best way to calibrate this, is to do outdoor walk/run activities with GPS. Then it is adjusted automatically.

Walking outside with GPS will have no impact on the Treadmill calibration.

BTW, the exact instructions how to calibrate the Treadmill Activity is here in the VÍVOACTIVE 4/4S OWNER'S MANUAL - Calibrating the Treadmill Distance
