I know that my runs showed a little lower distance on the watch, but once I uploaded it online, it was able to adjust it to the elevation profiles on the online maps. A practical application of Pythagoras Theorem. If the watch has a barometer it would do that, if not you wouldn’t see it until uploading the run to Strava or whatever.
So when you do your runs and then upload them to adjust for elevation, is there a particular program you use? Or is it just an app that is for your watch itself?
