Agree! I would really like to use the watch in a normal way. But i can live with wearing it like OP or like the way i posted above. I want to learn how i can produce a good enough track for my purposes.
On one of my last runs i got -1.66% too short distance…
My training status has disappeared too- after a 10 mile road run. No idea why it disappeared will try the advise of two runs as ive just done trail runs fir the last three days, it also paused mid run tonight and although the distance is just 0.3 miles…
Above a certain length, BaseCamp's Get Info window for tracks rounds distances over 500 feet to the nearest 0.1 miles. But often for short tracks I need the measurement more precisely in feet. 0.1 miles is 528 feet which is far too coarse of a resolution…

The Garmin battery is pretty decent especially in combination with the power saving features of the device. I had a small power bank with me. It was unfortunate however that due to frequent restarts the Garmin kept on recalculating the route which turned…
I found the calibration factor on the Stryd wind was substantially (~3%) short on distance originally. It changed significantly with the latest firmware update to be exactly the same as my old Stryd — which is ~1% short.
Stryd should be stable within…
Generally I compare to Strava. Sometimes I also use all trails and Fitbit. Those three matchup in distance however Garmin is consistently showing less distance. I have tried Galileo and Glonass and also just GPS alone. The results seem pretty consistent…
+1 for this. Live in Denver, and took me a bit to figure out why everything was reporting so short based upon range finder distances. Without altitude adjustments, it provides me little to no good to know how far I got the ball on the launch monitor.
…When running in a park with longer straight distances, the watch algorithm uses the adjacent data points to "clean up" your heading and distance. While individual datapoints may be out, when you put a number of them together, the trend line becomes pretty…
