Treadmill correction

you have the option to calibrate the distance every time you run on a treadmill so long as you run at least 1 mile I think it is. I only needed to calibrate twice then after that, it was almost perfect.

Do I have to trigger that in any way?. The first time it came up when I saved the activity, but in no run after that. All runs are over 1 mile.

yeah the 1st time it will come up asking you. All treadmill runs afterwards (and > 1 mile) you will need to scroll down and choose calibrate & save rather than just save and it will ask you to enter the distance each time. Should be pretty accurate after 2 or 3 attempts. If not, then a footpod would be suggested.

Thanks! I'll check that the next treadmill run. It's pretty accurate already but not perfect (: I'm already using a footpod. It's a little on the plus side when I walk (Showing a little higher tempo, but a little minus as soon I start to jog.

Is there any possibility to introduce this feature to rowing app? I am rowing on WaterRower and miss distance calculation on the watch.

There is no distance calculation for indoor rowing on the Fenix 5 itself, so no ability to enter a calibration. As resistance is variable on indoor rowers, it just would not be possible to calculate speed/distance just from your wrist movement; running is different, as your body has only one “gear” and it is reasonable to estimate speed/distance from cadence captured at your wrist. For Concept 2 Indoor rowers there is an ErgIQ app in the CIQ store https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/2...e-8d3bde99f693 that leverages the speed/distance transmitted by the PM unit on the rower; but that only works with the PM5 or newer on the latest software from Concept 2. I’m not aware that something similar is possible for WaterRower though.

So I have had my 5X since they were released and I have been running on the treadmill for about a year and manually correcting the distance in the app and I dont have an option to calibrate and save. Is this activated somewhere as my watch seems to be getting worse each day. A month ago it was off by .2 for every mile and now it is closer to .6.
