    I used to be in a Strava club where a lot of the members took it so seriously they would record rides on their Garmin and Phone to take advantage of these discrepancies and double their chances of getting KOMs. I guess they thought it also made them look good by having a super high mileage every month.

    My opinion: choose one device and stick with it, for the sake of consistency, if nothing else. Strava itself overestimates gradients and elevation gains. It claimed that I hit a 25% gradient yesterday, but in actual fact it was 14% max. It also claimed my pan flat stage had a gain of 1100m, whereas my GPS reported short of 700, and Ridewithgps claimed 800.
