No. You'd need the HRM-Pro chest strap, or wear the watch on your ankle in such case

My average pace re-aligns correctly once distance is edited/recalibrated

How long was the treadmill run? I mean the distance shown on (uncalibrated) watch. At most watches, the option will only be available after the watch logs at least a mile or 1.5 km, although on some models it may be available after the first treadmill run without that condition.

... in fact the F8 manual tells you need a 1.5 miles (2.4 km) treadmill run (shown on the watch) in order to calibrate the distance, so it is longer than at other models:

I can confirm that option shows on my fenix 8. I just completed 15km run and had the option to calibrate and save at the end

Just out of curiosity, if you calibrate and correct the distance, does it recalculate the average pace or do the two remain out of sync?

Hello.

If you do Indoor Treadmill, it will also work when you just hold your Hands at the bar?

Will you be able to fix the Steps, distance as well as the climbed floors?

Thank you.

Neither steps nor floors can be edited. Floors are counted only if you physically change the elevation (measured by the barometric altimeter)
