I have been using the watch, for many months on regular routes, and since I updated the software on the 6 November the distances are recording as being longer, 500 m over 10 k, I can verify this as I also use a strava measurement and they both used to align properly. Also in the health app after every run successfully update my Vo2 max has dropped 0.1 per run, which is significant and irraccurate as my times have improved and heart rate the same.
