XB May 2022 10:08am, 27 May 2022 14,585 posts	0 XB I had a very strange blip on my watch this morning. 3 minutes into my run I’d recorded 9.75 miles. It seems that it thinks I’d started at the far side of Burnley, run in a straight line to the point in Clitheroe where I stopped the clock! It didn’t even track the quarter of a mile that I’d walked. I’ve not been to that part of Burnley for weeks.

Mine's putting in countless number of small rises and gains that is totally overcalculating by amount of elevation. Last night was 4x then correct figure, today about 6 or 8x the correct figure. I suspect it's just because mine's got old. It suddenly started doing it a couple of months back but every run is now way out.

paulcook Sep 2022 11:22pm, 5 Sep 2022 1,657 posts	0 paulcook Thank you. That's the exact problem, specifically this bit: Check that the watch is not worn too tight on your arm. The pressure sensor openings should not be blocked. The strap is broken and I'm having to use one hole down from what I'd usually wear at best, so it is too tight on my wrist and obviously blocking the sensor. Definitely time to get a new strap then!! Thanks again.

paulcook Sep 2022 11:30pm, 5 Sep 2022 1,659 posts	0 paulcook A brilliant answer. Particularly because I honestly never expected that would be the reason. And if I can work out how to get a new strap on, it'll be an easy fix. Might be easier said than done as when I took into Timpsons when it first went, he was less than complementary about the straps, etc.
