    Depends what you mean. For positioning yes, for things like running and biking not so great. With running, you're talking about pace estimations with a ton of smoothing so you don't see when things don't work how they're supposed to. In the Fenix 5 there…
  • Best Pace and Max Cadence numbers "spike"

    I'm currently trying an FR35 and FR630 side by side. After my run when I look in Garmin Connect, about 50% of the time the FR35 displays a crazy "spiked" best pace. On my first run it gave me a best pace of 0:44! At other times it's attributed me with…

    Yes I did see that - I had wondered how it was calculated. I commend the scientific approach. Wish I'd thought of it!

    However my specific query was about why

  • Free at last! No more HR strap-235 Rules

    Although I have only run with my new 235 three times(25.5 miles), I am pleased and impressed with it. With 40 years of running and more years than I can remember running with a HR strap, this thing works. HR not spiky, GPS tight. 24/7 HR monitoring is…
  • Graphical corruption - dashed horizontal line across watch face

    Forerunner 955 Solar - 12.20 Beta

    In the first day after installing 12.20 beta I have observed 3 instances of a dashed horizontal line appearing on the display. This behavior was not observed in the 3 weeks I had the had the watch prior to installing…

  • RE: Setting Pace Alerts

    I highly recommend testing this before.  I would have a wider pace target range in your high/low.  But yes you have it right.

    In every race I have done and workouts - I use 'lap pace' as the indicator because hills, wind, turns, etc will all mess with live…

  • RE: DIY Datafield replacement

    Hi

    I have now the basic elements finished. Available value types for now are heartrate, % maxhr, avg pace, current pace, distance, timer time. I will add many more later on, for now I am concentrating on stability and memory usage.

    Graphics elements which…

  • GPS Accuracy + satellite count data fields

    (Continued discussion from here)

    In older models, and in line with most GPS capable devices, there was a data field or a view where the user could see the accuracy level of the device (+/-5m for example) and also a view of the visible satellites and tracked…
  • RE: Notification for every 0.5 miles ?

    Hi! My understanding is as follows, please anyone, correct me if I'm wrong:

    I've found more useful to have the average pace for the run to be able to know if I'm off my normal pace or exceeding it, and if exceeding it, if I will be able to keep the…
  • RE: FR235 Pace Accurate?

    The main factor is your cadence it's the only variable or datapoint that the watch knows. This can change (at a consistent speed) based on the pace of a song, surface (grass, dirt, pavement, Treadmill), how your legs are feeling, warmup vs middle vs…
