My Fenix 6 does not track my current pace correctly. Splits are correct but current pace often 1-2min off and never accurate.

I've noticed the same, especially on tree covered trails. On the open the pace is reasonably accurate, but once I get even slight tree coverage, the pace on the watch always slows down compared to my actual pace - the difference is typically 0:30-1:30/mile which is consistent with your observation. 

I have actually written a script to automatically analyze a run and compare the "average instant pace" to the mile splits, and I see a consistent bias towards slower than actual pace.

Not true. I've used Suunto watches before that implement FusedSpeed algorithm. I'd say that in Ambit3 Peak the instant pace was usually spot on. In Suunto 9 instant pace was a bit more optimistic but still way more accurate than completely useless instant pace on Fenix.

I am pretty sure Fenix does try to fuse GPS based pace with data from the accelerometer, because when I stop the pace reacts very quickly and stays at zero until I start moving. But whatever algorithm Fenix implements, it is certainly faulty.

This seems to be the case, unfortunately.

For me, instant pace typically varies in the range of 2 min/km. This is as bad as your observation...completely useless, and frustrating.

For many, it seems to be an acceptable solution to invest $220 more to get a Styrd.

I find it problematic that Garmin pushes features, such as PacePro, that would require relatively accurate pace information while not delivering the required performance. Obviously, a device that is within Garmin GPS specification will not be able to track pace accurately: Garmin® GPS receivers are accurate to within 15 meters (49 feet) 95% of the time. Generally, users will see accuracy within 5 to 10 meters (16 to 33 feet) under normal conditions. 

Tend to agree with Former Member, there is likely something wrong in the Fenix implementation, not all products hurt this bad - SportsTracker app on my Android phone delivers far more accurate pace information than my Fenix 6.

This is for car devices

For watches it's:

"The GPS location accuracy of Garmin outdoor watches is around 3 meters (10 feet), 95% of the time. "

Wow, thanks, I did not know that.

My Fenix 6X Pro outdoor watch has never been even close, much closer to the 15 meters I though was the spec. Would this be grounds for a refund?
