I recently switched to a VA3.
Until yesterday, the VA3 worked well for me however, yesterday it was raining so I used a treadmill instead of going outdoors. What I found was that even though the treadmill never stops, the VA3 would auto-pause for no reason. At the end of a 69 minute run, my VA3 showed 64 minutes so I lost 5 minutes of the workout. The pauses were so frequent that eventually everytime my watch would vibrate indicating an auto pause, I would immediately stop and start the activity again. Had I not done that, it would have registered under 1 hour for sure.
I realize that I can turn off auto pause but at least with auto pause I can tell when the VA3 isn't counting steps. If I turn auto pause off, the activity will continue but it won't be registering steps which is a key element of the whole thing.
Suggestions?
