Race time Prediction

I am contemplating the purchase of a 955.

Does the 955 provide an in-race feature to project my completion time of a race. For example, I am running a marathon and look to the watch to see what my projected finish time is? And later I do that again. The benefit is that I could view my projected finish time and either slow down or speed up my pace. Thanks

Let me suggest you the best app (properly, a data field) I have ever used in my watches (from 935 to 955).

Race screen

Garmin's apps or data fields don't take into account that you can't perfectly run the tangents and in a marathon you will get to 26.2 miles and still have at least 1 more minute of running before crossing the finish line.

"Race screen" solves this problem and, as a matter of fact, saved my day at my latest Marathon.

BTW, that data field is since many years my only screen in training also.

If you have the course loaded, your watch can tell you your estimated time to finish the course.

Similarly, if you have the course loaded and use PacePro it can suggest a pace to run for each part, given a target finish time.
