Unhappy Defective Fitbit

Last June I purchased a Fitbit HR for my wife. My problem with this device is the mileage. The steps taken seem accurate but the mileage is off by a lot. For instance, I have a smart watch and it records my steps. It shows one mile walked after about 3200 steps. I have checked these steps with another device and it seems pretty accurate. However, if my wife walks the same number of steps her Fitbit will show around 6 miles walked. I don't think I'll be able to return the device. She says the inaccurate mileage doesn't bother her but it bothers me. I'm just wondering if there are any Fitbit owners who have the same problem with the mileage?
