Fitbit Versa

I’ve had my Fitbit Versa for 2 months now. It seems to be right on with the treadmill calculations when I’m using it as far as distance and calories burned but when I’m outside “speed walking 3 miles”, it’s really off with run keeper and my iPhone health app. My health app and Runkeeper app are very close in mileage. Is anyone else experiencing this with their Fitbit. I’m a little frustrated with how accurate my Fitbit is. How much do you trust your Fitbit?

    You can change the setting to use your location to make your distance more accurate

    Is it basing it of the GPS or an estimate of your stride length x steps? If you stride length is significantly under or over the end result of distance will be too out significantly too.

    You can use the GPS via bluetooth pairing your mobile phone and fitbit. I found though that when I tried to use the fitbit flyer and mobile mobile GPS that my versa bluetooth would only work with one connection and the flyer would not connect.
