Current pace instead of step pace during workout

I don't use pace alerts, but if the field is wrong and the alert is based on that field I guess is't logic that the alert is wrong too.

How do we get this to Garmin's attention?

I e-mailed Garmin about this, but haven't heard back from them yet. Agree with everyone else, current pace keeps jumping all over the pace and the pace alerts are, because of that, super frequent and annoying. I need that average pace back - it should at least be an option *sigh*

Just checked the epix (Gen2) owner's manual and it literally says regarding workouts: "You can create custom workouts that include goals for each workout step and for varied distances, times, and calories. During your activity, you can view workout-specific data screens that contain workout step information, such as the workout step distance or average step pace." 

Based on this there should have not been any change and it should still be showing average step pace and not current pace.

There is some speculation that the change from average step pace to current pace on the workout screen is deliberate. What you have found in the manual suggests it isn't. There's more evidence along those lines from the nag screen that comes up if you fall below the pace you have set for a step: it clearly shows your current average step pace, not your current pace, so the workout screen and its prompts are inconsistent with each other. It looks very much to me as if this is simply a mistake in the software.

Agree, David. The Garmin Support Team is looking into it and will get back to me, but when I asked Final Surge and they put me in contact with the Garmin API team they also think it’s a glitch in the firmware and put me in contact with the Garmin Support Team. Fingers crossed we got this fixed soon - I’m not against current pace being an option if customizable, seems some people are really into that, but with the pace jumping around and all the alerts I can’t envision on that would be helpful.

Me is also waiting for fixing the step pace! No need of the jumping and rounded current pace, but the average pace the current step/lap during a workout! I really hope this will be fixed soon (should be a quick win, really easy to fix).

p.s. now I realized, this is an epix forum topic, but the exactly the same with the 7X, this should be fixed for both

Did you get any response from Garmin on the workout pace question? It is still an issue in the latest firmware I think.

They told me they’re looking into it but no news yet - and yes, all my workouts are still all messed up with instant pace instead of average pace for each workout step
