Distance accuracy Garmin v Wahoo v Komoot
Hi All, question that I have is how to get an accurate distance measure: I have a Wahoo ELEMNT Bolt head unit, and a Garmin Fenix 6 watch. Both are paired to a Wahoo speed sensor with manual circumfirence set exactly the same. Yet there is about 5% difference between them.
Garmin watch - 49.7km
Wahoo Bolt - 52.4km.
Any ideas on what is causing this?
incidentally the Komoot route I was following was supposed to be 50.6km.

So by your reasoning, this is a fact. Fact. And by the same reasoning, this is a fact too. Fact. Fact. As is this. Fact. Fact. Fact.

Ha ha, me too. Unless the chance of rain is something like 0.00000000%.

Both your devices have GPS so you don't actually need that speed sensor at all. Maybe do a ride without it and see what you get? Pure GPS measurement is very accurate (wait for the pedants to chime in).
