Hi, l was given a fitbit versa for my birthday in April, I really like it but previously used strava. My fitbit times are about 1minutes slower than strava! Has anyone else had this problem?

I'm sorry to say that Fitbits aren't the most reliable devices for running. They are a 'lifestyle' watch.

Strava on your phone, using GPS will give you more accuracy.

Even better is a dedicated GPS running watch like a Garmin.
