Estimated Finish Time

Loving the 645 Music so far.

One thing I've found a tad confusing though is the Estimated Finish Time on the "Set a Target" option. I selected Marathon with a target time of 3:59:59. It seems to correctly ish tell me how far behind I am, but the "Estimated Finish Time" was fixed at 3:59:59. Even though I started the activity, walked 30 metres and then sat down for 10 minutes :D

Is this a bug? The manual seems to suggest the Est Finish Time would move to tell me what time I'm likely to finish in.

Any ideas or thoughts on this?

The time gets updated when the distance remaining changes.

I have Garmin Instinct and the same problem. During 5 km run the device shows estimated finish time of value about 10 hours and 40 minutes while my average pace did not exceed 6:00min/km. Oddly enough similar estimation were done after I set 15 km run. It is not possible to get such time in both cases even if I was walking througout training instead of running. I guess there is a kind of bug in the garmin software.

This Connect IQ app may be the answer to your problem: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/6a30651b-ca67-41a5-96dc-60634983fc93. This app will correct the GPS distance and average pace at race distance markers, and will update predicted race finish time. I have not used it yet; if you use it during your race, please post a reply to let us know how it worked for you.

Thank you for your advice. Unfortunately Garmin Instinct is not supported by connect IQ so software update will not be possible. Nevertheless I have already called garmin technical support they are supposed to work at the solution. I let you know asap.
