Predicting finish time on watch.

I have recently upgraded my Garmin from a forerunner 235 to a Fēnix 6 solar. One of the functions I used regularly on the 235 while running a parkrun or race, was the estimated finish time prediction (not the race time prediction, that was well out!). I can't seem to find it on the fenix. Is there anything similar on it or a good downloadable widget that is recommended? Thanks in advance.

You do not need an extra widget.
open your run activity -> (push the up bottom) -> set up targets -> distance (your parkrun distance)

Nice! Great to learn something new.

If you are navigating a course, you can use the ETE data field. I use this field on one of the Navigation data screens that is automatically added to any activity when navigation is active

But ETE will give you the estimated time remaining. What you want to see in a race is the estimated total time when you reach the finish. With ETE, you have to do the math in your head of adding the elapsed time so far to ETE all the time.

For navigating a course, ETA shows the estimated time of arrival. I am not sure what the source of the speed is in that calculation (average speed, current speed or speed as set in the course as target), but it's usually a pretty good estimate in my experience.
