  • RE: How to find exact recorded running distance

    Stryd is a very nice foot pod but by far the holy grail, i took a measuring wheel to a track and laid out 400 meres and did run 3200m and 9600m that gave me a correction of 102,4. With other words on 10K i was roughly 250 to 300 meters short.

    I have a standing desk and walking pad that I regularly use during my workday. I've only had the Forerunner 970 a short time, so just now used the Walk Indoor activity.  While it records the time that the activity is running, it does not record pace…

    Trying to keep it short:

    My Forerunner 45 with operating system 3.10 will not measure/save pulse nor distance, even though logged on to GPS/GALLILEO before hitting "start" button and run.

    This is already my second F45 and after hard reset it…

    For normal road biking a wheel sensor won't improve the overall accuracy of the ride data. GPS data has position errors. But those errors cancel out over distance so, I think, total distance is about as accurate as you can get. The position errors can…

    I have posted several times regarding this issue and really dont think that Garmin is doing anything about it. OWS distance for me is as good as a random number generator.  Due to various reasons, sometimes it is way short, way long, and if you are lucky…

    With GPS V4.10 everything is back to normal, now 10km again :-) - Thanks to all anyway!

    @Garmin: Please better test the products before release as we're not working with $50 fitness watches. Also a short information in-app or via email would have been…

    In my experience, Fenix 6 was 5-7% short on trails and Fenix 7 about 1% short. This applies to fairly twisty thick forest covered trails of PNW. On the open terrain both watches are much more accurate. 

    Also, when you move slowly there is more opportunity…

    Zach, I agree to what you said. I am also afraid of using the back button during an activity for those same reasons.

    Your #2 is not as simple as jim makes it. On my Fenix 3 (before it ended at the bottom of the Baltic Sea) I have sometimes been caught…

    Provided I understand that the issue is needing to change the swim distance alert from 40 lengths to 20 lengths which I agree would be annoying because its something that could easily be forgotten until you?re well into the swim...... as an interim solution…
