So i gifted my mum a Vivoactive 4 for christmas. She is happy with the device (having not had anything like this in the past; it's her first fitness wearable) and i am impressed at how compact it is. The screen response isn't the best however.,,,anyway....
One thing i am finding is that it seems quite generous with the step counts so we have manually configured the walking stride length for her, although i'm not sure this actually affects the number of daily steps out with an activity.
We've had a few walks together and i'm finding the measured distance quite different compared to the distance recorded on my F5. For exactly the same route my F5 is measuring around 4.57km and her VA4 is measuring around 4.27km, regularly.
I appreciate there will be discrepancies as the VA4 doesn't have GPS, however does anyone have any advice as to how we can reconfigure the accuracy of the steps and indeed the logged distance when walking?
