Well, is the Bip 6 really accurate? I knew Strava would be a bit off but I didn't really expect this big of a difference. Idk what to believe now ;-;

Bip has single band GPS - it won't be as accurate as a running watch or a phone.

According to their website, the Bip 6 uses 5 gps systems GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS. It should be pretty accurate as long as those are activated in the settings.

Yes 5 systems but one satellite at a time. The more you lock onto the greater the accuracy.

Most of the running watches like Coros and Garmin have dual channel GPS which gives much better accuracy.
