I have a Polar S625X and use the Polar Precision SW that comes with the product.
When I go running, the watch shows a certain distance, but when I xfer the data to my PC, the distance on the "Exercise 1" tab is off by 10+ km. If I click on the graph, the distance is correct for the graph. I use the distance from the graph to correct the distance on the "Exercise 1" tab, but this is annoying.
I once tried to combine two workouts into one (when I inadvertantly turned my watch off during a run). I don't know if that caused the problem with the inaccurate distance reading, but I vaguely remember the problem coming up around that time (not 100% sure though).
Any ideas on what's causing the problem, or how to find a resolution? I tried sending my question to Polar but haven't heard back (for over 3 months).

Is it off like km vs miles? Mine was doing that for awhile - downloads showed one distance in one window and another in the other, but one was km and the other miles, regardless of what the label said. I just set everything to km distance and m elevation and it seems to be ok now.

it's all perspective isnt it? to me it sounds like you broke it!
The first thing to do is to make sure you're running the latest version of the Polar Precision Performance software. An update was released on February 21st brining the version to 4.02.037. You can download it here, by the link in the upper right: http://support.polar.fi/PKBSupport.nsf/Software/PPPSW4?openForm
I bet that fixes your issue.

Tried it, but didn't fix the problem. Any other ideas? Is there a "reset" function? I didn't have this problem when I first got the watch, but I think it cropped up after I tried to combine two exercises. I may have messed something up in that attempt.

I have a Polar S610i. The manual describes how you can reset the watch to its default settings. Check your manual. It may be the same for the S625x.
This is from the manual for the S610i:

Resetting clears watch settings which will return to the default settings. User information and measuring units settings will be saved. Press the RESET button with a pen tip. Display becomes full of digits.If you don’t press any button after reset within one minute the wrist receiver goes to the Time of Day display. Press any of the buttons once. The time of day is displayed.
