Is anyone else having Pace issues after the latest software update? I do a good bit of treadmill running and the piece is not extremely inaccurate. Getting 45 minute plus pace on faster run speeds on treadmill. 

  • I have the same issues. I've done some tests with Garmin Fenix 5x with different versions and Garmin Fenix 5 Plus.

    All my tests are in trainings outside with 250meters of circular circuit. The results:

    - Garmin 5x with 18.71 have more accurate times and gps seems to be more accurate than in version 19.10. More or less one minute/45 seconds more slow with 19.10.

    - The difference with Fenix 5 Plus is very big. Gps data is a lot of different in map. Fenix 5 Plus mark the line very accurate in the map, 5x have a lot of mistakes, in version 19.10 specially.

    I have saved all sessions, if is necessary this data, please tell me and send to garmin for you're review

    Former Member Hello. I'll take a look and see what I can do to help. For indoor activities such as Treadmill the speed, distance, and cadence are calculated using the accelerometer (wrist/arm movement) in the device. Are you moving your arm as you normally would when running or are you holding on to something? Also, after the activity is complete is the total distance usually much shorter than what it should be?

    Hello. With these activities being outdoor the issue is going to be different from the original comment but I'll try and help. If these activities are uploaded to your Connect account please send me a private message and I'll review them. Thank you.

    Yes, I have Vaughan watch for a couple years and the pace has been good, on the the treadmill. It just started acting up after last software update. I am about to do a quick run end it will check data once uploaded. The mileage is also way under calculating. Thanks for the help will have more data later to share.
