  • RE: Data Field: Dozen Run Fields

    Former Member

    Short question about DozenSwim. Used it the first time in the pool and got weird distance because of GPS. Is it recommended to turn off GPS while swimming in a pool? Does it count the laps while GPS is off? BR and thx for the great DataFields!

    Hi All.

    I'm still on my F3 and was considering going to the F5.
    I'm sick of the F3 short changing me on distances, usually every Saturday morning I do a Park run.
    These are set to 5KM, and are timed events. All the time my F3 has me from 100…

    After some seconds I realised that there are some 100 meters left to the real finish line. In the end, the watch recorded 42,66 km.

    I bet the distance you had actually run was even longer than that. If anything, Fenix tends to measure distance…

    It would be much more successful to try longer strava segments. The one you have used for a 500 meter test is too short to analyze the differences. must be checked in segments where the distances are greater and so you can see clearly the evolution of…

    I am not content with F6X because I was buying it specifically for being a watch to track trail and ultra running.

    It got the "ultra" component alright and it has map which makes it great for navigation, but honestly, as a running watch, it is quite mediocre…

  • RE: Fenix 7s not counting calories while swimming

    I'm pretty sure it's not a general bug. I did a short pool swim yesterday and it counted 200 calories. All my other pool swims have a calorie count.

    In your activity is the length count and distance correct?

    Auto Lap by distance is a feature that existed in the  really old 300 EDGE. You could give a defined distance when the unit would trigger a lap. Extremely useful to get Lap Power on short time period (1km) specially when racing. I "upgraded" to EDGE130…

    I have to assume this is the first time you've used a Garmin if that's a serious complaint

    No watch is going to get it right because it's half-guessing from a lot of variables.

    Within two minutes is actually pretty great compared to previous…

    I think the distance reported by the F5+ is totally acceptable, because - as others have pointed out - 21.095 km will be the absolute shortest distance you can run without leaving the course and because random GPS error will usually cause a slight increase…

    • Short distance sensitivity is WAY up ... it routinely picked up solo cyclists behind me.
