v7.11 PacePro Multiple Issues

over 2 years ago

I've been experiencing multiple issues with the PacePro feature.  Description of test conditions and issues documented below:

  • Native Run activity.
  • Created a PacePro Plan from a course in GC
  • Started Run executing the PacePro plan and navigating the course.
  • Viewed the PacePro data screen during the run.
  • PacePro splits were set to 1 mile.
  • 1 second Data Recording period.
  • Connected Sensors:
    1. Tempe
    2. RD Pod
    3. Bose Sports earbuds (Amazon Music)
  • Also used a fenix 7XSS executing the same PacePro Plan

  • Issue 1
    • Ahead/Behind audio announcement (at each PacePro split) is the opposite of actual. For example, PacePro Ahead/Behind Data Field displayed correctly “Overall Ahead/0:35”, but audio announcement says “Behind 35 seconds”.  On the run In the test scenario, I was actually 35 seconds ahead, not behind the target pace.  Another quirk with this issue is that the Instinct 2 that I was using with the same PacePro plan, displayed the Overall Ahead value as a negative number, while the 945 LTE displayed a positive number which also differs from the owner's manual graphic:  

  • Issue 2
    • The distance of the Plan was 6.1 miles. Therefore, there were 6 complete mile splits and a partial remainder of a 10th of a mile.  The Change-in-Pace announcement for the last 0.1 miles stated, “New Pace 58 seconds”.  This is incorrect.  The pace for the last split was programmed to 8:44min/mi, not 58secs/mi.  The number of the announcement is the split time to finish the last 10th mile at the 8:44 pace.  Obviously, for a full mile both those numbers are the same, but not for a partial mile that frequently happens on the last split of a plan.

  • Issue 3
    • At each New Pace announcement (each mile), the watch did not vibrate.  I could hear the announcement in the earbuds and see the information on the watch face, but no buzz.  The watch did vibrate as expected on lap splits and TBT alerts.
