Athletic oval 270m GPS Accuracy, Indoor Soccer -measure distance

2891855 19 days ago

Hello, please answer the questions:
1. Is it possible to accurately measure the distance when running on an athletic oval 270 m long, so that the graph does not deviate? Can the watch measure the distance more or less accurately during the "classic running" activity?
2. Does the watch contain a sports activity for more or less accurate measurement of indoor soccer in the gym (distance, heart rate, speed, calories)?
Thanks for the answers.

Hello,

GPS devices, including watches, can measure distance on an athletic oval. However, the accuracy can be affected by several factors. GPS units tend to have reasonable reliability for long distances at slow to moderate speeds but may struggle with short-distance, high-speed movements, especially with rapid, randomized directional changes. For a 270m oval, the accuracy would depend on the device’s ability to maintain a strong satellite connection and its data point collection frequency. An oval track offers ideal conditions for GPS testing due to the known distance and open skies, which should, in theory, allow for more accurate measurements. Yet, it’s important to note that different GPS units and software updates can affect the measurements.

I hope this will help you. DogNearMe
