If I were a betting person I would put my money on the Garmin. Why you ask? For 2 reasons. I use to wear an Omron Pedometer which was very accurate but Runkeeper never equaled my pedometer. The Garmin I have actually taken the time to step it off counting my steps and found it to be very accurate. If if it was off between 1-3 steps. I find that to be excellent.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There are many potential reasons why two differnt devices might show different distance readings. The main reason could be the strength of satellite signal the units acquired. It is hard to say which distance is more or less correct without looking at the activities. You can visit www.garmin.com/support to find a lot of great resources or to find contact information for Product Support who would be more than happy to assist you with any questions.
