Run/walk detection

tefkar over 2 years ago

Can any device distinguish between running and walking? I'd like to track distance walked vs run.

The newer watches have that built in. This from an F7

It is not quite as good as that. My 745 will do that, however, all of the time/distance will be counted towards whichever exercise is chosen. That is, if you are doing a run exercise, then all of the time and distance will be counted as running, regardless of whether you run or walk the entire distance. This may change in the future.

Correct but the different time spent in the different stages is visible.

That's awesome. Does it do the same for miles or only time?

0 Dr Phil over 2 years ago in reply to tefkar

Unfortunately not.

In a way it does. On the app, on the pace chart, the pace displayed for the walking part seems to be the average pace of all the walking of the activity (the pace is the same for all the walk parts). With this average pace and the Walk Time you can extrapolate the Walk Distance.
