For example. This is using an AW8, lines are all over the place, not nice and smooth at all. Not sure if this affects overall distance.
 
I believe it does impact the overall distance. I have run a route multiple times using either AW7 or an iPhone. The former consistently reports about 8 km, and the latter 8.5 km.
 
It much better than the smoothing Apple did when I bought apple watch 4. Regarding distance, apple uses a combination of gps and pedometer Data AFAIK. The details are secret, so only apple knows.
