Which is more accurate.?

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone can give me a bit of advice. Would you say a treadmill would be more accurate than a running watch? It took me 35mins 51 to get to 3.1 miles on my treadmill but 41mins 37 on my watch to get to same distance so by then treadmill said 3.6. How far did I actually run? My legs say 3.6! 😂

Is your watch set to indoor run/treadmill? My Fitbit and garmin always gave a different reading to the treadmill. I always went with what the treadmill said 😆

Thanks, i just need to start the timer on my garmin and it knows I'm running on treadmill but just seems to be a bit out which is getting further out the further I run. But I'm happy with 3.6 miles in 41 37.

Treadmill. You haven’t actually 'gone' anywhere, so the watch is only guessing from the steps it counted.

Thanks 3.6 miles it is then 😊
