Segments not being reported as crossed even though I've run them?

Since the Segments feature rolled out it seems that 50% of the time I'm not crossing them even though I have!- Even the ones I've created myself!

I have run over the same route many times and half the time Garmin Connect does not report it as being crossed?

Any ideas why? Is there some leeway?

I'm using the Fenix 2, GPS Issue? If I upload my data to Strava the segments are being reported as crossed, most of the time..

Anyone else have this issue?

Garmin's segments are a relative poor copy of what Strava and others did. Actually I don't know anybody who's taking them seriously. There is also a much smaller number of people on the lists. You have to make your ride public to appear on the list, so everybody knows where you're living (Gamin Connect still has no privacy zones!).
If you are really interested in comparing to others, turn to the original.

I like using Segment's for personal use, allows me to compare my progress to earlier run's. The fact is I give 100% on most hills, create a segment from them and then the next time I run the same route I tally up the stats and see if I've improved. However most of the time the segment is not recorded even though I've run the exact same route.
