Anyone use a Samsung watch?

I have the first version of the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active and I had a bit of an issue with it today. It told me I'd run 5k when Strava said it was 4.67k.

I'm certainly inclined to believe Strava, given that some have complained about Samsung's distance tracking. So does anyone else use a Samsung watch? Have you had any similar issues? Has it made you switch watches?

Pretty much each system will tell you a slightly different distance depending on how they work - my Garmin, Strava and Map My Run are always slightly out from each other!
