Hi programmers,
would anybody be willing and able to program a data field for the Forerunner 735XT (and maybe other watches that support pool swimming) that calculates a moving average pace value over multiple (ideally: a configurable number of) lengths?
The duration of a single length is not determined very accurately by the watch, the moment of the turn usually has several seconds of error, and the error in the momentary pace over 100 m is four times enlarged by extrapolating the time of a 25 m length to 100 m. I noticed that at least 2 consecutive lengths would yield a much more accurate pace value, 4 would be even better. But there is no way to define 4 lengths as a lap that would yield a lap pace, as is available for running.
It would be cool, if somebody could provide a similar data field like the "configurable pace" field for running, where you can define the aggregation time on the mobile and get the moving average pace over the recent period of that time displayed on the watch. For swimming, it would then be the number of lengths, starting with 2, that the user configures. Or simply, create a data field averaging the pace over the last 4 lengths and possibly another over the last 2. That would compensate for the badly missing Autolap feature in pool swimming mode.
Thanks!
