Garmin Fenix 8 - is time ahead /behind broken?

8838047 8 months ago

I use the virtual partner screen, and on this page you set a running pace. In this case I was set to 6:00 per km.

But right now on the fenix 8, the time ahead / time behind data is all wrong.

Also I can't confirm if, but as also my pace pro run did the same thing, I wasn't getting pace pro split info etc.

Current software version 11.60

Ahhhh perfect!! It is, an Italian person put the same issue up the other day and I was trying to understand them.

I’ve got the same issue on 11.64

. Garmin-Laurie, any chance to get the engineers to look at this?

To replicate, add virtual training partner screen to a run activity, scroll to the page and you can see it right there. I’ve done a hard reset back to setup and still won’t fix it.

The issue “bug” has already been reported to Garmin for their engineers to fix. The time ahead/behind makes no sense.

I have the same issue!
I wanted to run with a 5:10 partner, but he showed completely incomprehensible numbers. Similarly, in the picture he wrote very far from the virtual partner...

Since the Fenix 8 is not running a BETA software version, this public beta thread is the best place to report your concerns.
