wsrobert thanks for that. I'm not sure I've ever seen 2 seconds apart. But glad its not only just me. I did a run for around 36 minutes, which had 370 data points. So an average of once every 6 seconds - which at my pace is around every 20 meters. Generally ok in a straight line. S turns...

yoggee - that was silly of me, I only looked on the watch. I've got mapmyrun as well, which was km by default. And it looks like its the same app. I did a run yesterday with a friend who has a Garmin watch - we were out of sync by about 200m in the first km. By the end of the 6.6km run we...

yoggee Thanks - I think a GPS lock before countdown, and the ability to change the frequency that it takes GPS positions would be ideal. (I did try Endomondo, but it seemed to default to miles and i didnt know how to change that) wsrobert (or anyone really) - I do get the feeling that Strava...

I tried all the tricks mentioned: * i warmed up the GPS for around 15 seconds until it had a lock * no open apps * Auto pause off * GPS for distance * standalone mode For the first time, I actually had a lock at the start of the run! But the distances and polling seemed wildly off. After...

Here is the Strava Graph from a GPX export from the watch I definitely started the run at a normal pace, so perhaps the lock is the issue

> Auto pause off > Only use GPS for distance > you're in standalone mode already done all of these Auto tracking - I'll switch that off GPS Reading App - I'll give that a go >close all apps on your S3 I've not tried this - will give it a go I did a 1.7km run a short time ago. My approach...

funkymagicuk - Thanks for the tip on choosing "race" in strava for manual uploads. I just did a 1.7km run, manually uploaded the GPX in strava Regular uploading Strava said 8:20 "moving time" With "Race" it choose the more correct 8:45 elapsed time So I guess Strava decided a few data points...

p1eric interesting - thanks for that. Its around 1-1.5 minutes off for me too. Did you find any particular mile split time was off more than others? I found my 1st Km was always the worst in S Health (particularly if you look at the speed graph), and was wondering if the lack of GPS locks was...

I did the 5km park run today. Sadly your "pause" trick, for 2 minutes, but it didn't work for me. The watch reported 4.67km, while my 2nd device said 5km. After 4:30 minutes in, it said I had done 0.45km, even though I'd done about 0.85km off Looking at the GPX data I've come to 4...

Thanks p1eric. I also found if I exported the GPX file and manually imported it into Strava the run recorded fine.

I've just got a new Samsung Gear S3. Taken it out for a couple runs and noticed a few issues. For this morning's run: (1) Samsung health App thought i started 100m away from where i really did (2) General accuracy is not great when i look at the run on google maps. 
 So I exported my run to a...

I see a few comments here which imply this is not unique: https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/218887007-Samsung-Gear-and-Strava?page=5#comments It seems the export to Strava is not working 100% at the moment.

I got a Samsung Gear S3 recently, and I've taken it out for 2 Runs to test it's GPS accuracy. For the runs, I've have: Location : on, with gps & wifi, I'm using the built in S Health App. I also ran with no phone (so just the watch standalone) I configured Samsung Health so that Strava is a...
