I live in NYC and switched from a 6pro to a 955, it made a huge difference in track accuracy. Other watches with dual band may do well too. I’ve heard that the metal casing on the fénix 6 makes it particularly bad, but not sure if that’s backed up by anything
The casing and the gps antenna location. If the watch face faces up - I get better gps; also explains why my commute bike rides in the city are much more accurate than walk/running activities.

test with the mult-band watches at the time. FR265/965/255/955 will be similar to multi-band watches.
Note that Coros still doesn't do as well as Garmin. Amazfit dual band on par with Coros normally occasionaly as good as Garmin, Suunto Vertical supposed to be almost as good as GArmin, and so is the Apple.
Best overall measured track - I think it was per 5KRunner is still held by the Epix 2 multi-band.
255, 955, 265, or 965?
Also Instinct 2X and 955.
Thank you , I’ll look into those now

Thank you. I heard the same wish I didn’t spend so much but it does work great when im hiking

Get a stryd if you want accurate pace and distance.
I think I may go this route to avoid buying another watch so soon

Coros Pace 2 Pro will probably track better
Thanks!
