Discrepancy of distances between new Steps app and Workout.
I have recently completed a 10 mile outdoor walk using Ultra Watch 4 and iPhone 17 Pro. On my iPhone activity the workout session of 10 miles is confirmed as do the time splits over each mile. However under the Steps information it shows the number of steps as 20,032 but the distance is shown as 9.22 miles. I know from past walks I am normally around 2000 steps per mile so the 20,000 would be about right.
The Stepwise app I also have records similar figures of over 20,000 steps for 10 miles.
I have had the watch for about 4 weeks now and used on many walks so would have expected it to have calibrated itself to my step length. I had noted this oddity before since having the new watch but hoped it would just be an adjustment phase for the new Steps app but on such a good walking distance to then lose nearly 3/4 of a mile seems very odd. I was pleased when Apple introduced its own Steps app but now wondering whether it is worth using it.
Has anyone noticed a similar problem or has any answers to what is going on?
Thank you.
