Inaccurate distance and elevation

Last week I climbed Ben Lomond with my family. The distance recorded on my Venu was 10.56km, with 672m elevation. Distance on Strava was 12.93km with 1005m elevation. This is a huge difference, and as we know the height of the mountain we know that strava was more accurate.

I am disappointed by the inaccuracy of my Venu. It’s only 12 months old. Can anything be done to recalibrate it?

The same issue here.. See my answer here https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/healthandwellness/f/venu/269377/how-do-i-log-a-hike

in my opinion this device is not usable for hiking..

Same issue on my 735XT. I run it concurrently with strava on my phone and the Garmin watch is so far off every time. I walked the exact same golf course last week twice, it recorded the same map exactly, one day was 7 miles, one day was 5 miles. I'm tossing it.
