• How's pace/distance compared to other watches/phone?

    I currently have a Fenix 6s pro solar. Pace was never really good compared to my phone and the distance often a bit too short on measured tracks. Since a recent firmware update my pace tends to be about 0:30min/km slower and the distance shorter by quite…

  • RE: Step Counter and Distance

    I don't want to argue, actually I agree it is not meaningful.

    That said the statement is not correct as the stepcounter is included and almost every watch face displays it.

    The question is rather why the distance is not presented as well as on the…

  • RE: Very inconsistent distances, club head and ball speeds.

    Really that is about 5.5 feet which seems short as Garmin says minimum 6 feet.

  • RE: Create waypoints based on bearing and distance?

    No.  You may be able to do it on your device, but direction and distance might be limited to integers.

    You can use online calculators to obtain the projected waypoints.  Examples are:

  • RE: Venu Sq overestimating distance

    Hello, I think the estimate given by the Venu SQ is correct and adapted to your height and weight data, those of Google Fit seem to adapt more to a person with very short strides, probably a height of 1.62 cm, in any case the stride during the day varies…

  • RE: Move IQ, GPS and distance.

    Well nevermind, was mixing things up.... Seems to be working fine afterall.


    Not for me. I have exactly the same issue that you reported before. If I let Move IQ start an activity (e.g. walking) automatically, it buzzes me (after 5 minutes) to let me…
  • Inaccurate distance measurement using GPS?

    I'm beginning to doubt the accuracy of  distance measurement with my Vivosmart 4. After I updated the app a couple weeks ago, I noticed that the Lap indicator (set to a mile) went off several hundred yards short of where it used to go off on my regular…

  • RE: Swim Distances Always Wrong

    I get pretty good results with mine. Sometimes, it misses a length, but it's pretty obvious in the stats. So, I would say I the distance is within about 1 length of actual, which I can live with.

    I would guess that the ability for the watch to count…

  • Part of running track not shown, distances correctly measured

    I have a MARQ series and tried it today for the first time next to my Apple Watch for running a short distance. The distance tracking between Garmin and Apple Watch is comparable (so correct!).

    After the synchronization to the Garmin Connect App, I looked…

  • RE: How to obtain the distance between two Location objects

    Yes, the thread Travis linked to provides both methods. I've been using the "planetscooter" method since then, but I changed it some parameter wise and this is it now:
