Its a good kinda a good watch.. Does anyone have the same problem as me, when i look at my watch at the end of my run and it will say like 11.6 miles and then i go and look at the map.( hard to explain exactly where it is but its will the graph too i guess) well anyways i go and look at the map and it says 12.1. why is the watch saying something completely different???

This has been extensively discussed in the forums, just use the search box. Bottom line, the watch uses different algorithms than the maps and you end up with slightly different distances.
