Hi all,
I do a lot of treadmill running but have noticed my watch doesn't record a distance when I select the treadmill feature, nor does it allow me to enter the distance manually once I've completed my run. 
I cannot find any option to calibrate the distance via Samsung Health either. When I used my Galaxy Watch 6 I was able to calibrate the distance, but on my watch 7 and/8 classic this has disappeared. Any help would be appreciated as it's driving me mad!

Hi I gave up letting the Watch lead the recording as the LifeFitness and others makes sync the treadmill data to SHEALTH and the Watch data.

That said machines at the gym don't have this connected function, so like you I manually start from my Watch, when I end the workout it does give a pop up to input the distance from the treadmill, the Watch is usually way off.

If the latter is missing try a wipe cache partition.

This just started happening to me on my Galaxy Watch 8 this week. I can't edit the total distance. It's ridiculous.

So annoying Samsung hasn't fixed the treadmill thing yet. I have the Galaxy 8 and this is the second thread I've posted on. When it let's you calibrate the distance it still always docks a mile off the total. It even does this if you go with the distance it calculated. They need to just make it so you can enter the distance from your treadmill manually!!
