Yesterday’s test results, after the January update. ~10km flat run, steady easy rithm, linear route, out and back along the same route:
Vertical 1. Watch showed 10.18km. GPX file distance 10,18km. Strava corrected distance 10,18km:

So, although difference is less than in previous activities, the behavior is the same. Race 2 shows less distance (~1%) than Vertical/RaceS and tracks are less accurate, with more difference/separation between lines (Vertical tracks are more “aligned”).
Race 2 is a good watch, GPS accuracy is good altough It doesn’t seem as accurate as its predecessors, and other competitors watches, in terms of GPS accuracy. Similar results regarding accuracy are also mentioned in some of the online reviews.
I’ll test again this weekend in hilly terrain, which seems to show more differences, and I’ll make a decission.
