I have had an issue with strava showing the wrong time and distance on my runs recorded via the new galaxy watch and synced via health.
I initially raised this with strava and they looked into it on their side and came up with this response -
"I looked at both of those activities and the problem is definitely caused by the data provided by Samsung Health. The data is just very inconsistent. First of all, there are only GPS points every 5 seconds, and Strava (and many other apps and devices) use 1 second sampling. The infrequent sampling contributes to inaccuracies.
The second, and probably primary, issue is that the file shows many "stacked points" which cause problems with our data processing. This means that the file contains data points with time, but without GPS updates, and when we parse the data it looks like you're not moving at those points. So it looks like you're resting, and that resting time is removed from your pace calculations and makes your pace and moving time inaccurate."
Is there anything I can do to sort this? It is very annoying and it is looking like I am going to have to record runs on my phone as well as my watch. Are there any other watch apps that might record better than the Samsung app?
Hi, I am having the same problem... but I have found a workaround.
In the Strava application edit your synced run/ride/... and mark it as a Race.
It should give you very similar results (moving time/ lap time / avg. pace/....) to those which are in your Samsung health application.
At least this works for me.
Write a feedback if this works for you as well.
Good luck.
