OK .. I ran with my iPhone for the first three runs to get the AW calibrated. So, I thought I would go solo for the next two runs (AW and Bluetooth Headphones) and see how things worked.
I have come across an interesting problem...
I have been running for 40 years (I am 51 years old), and pretty much know by feel what an 8:00 minute mile feels like vs. an 8:30 or 9:00 minute mile. So today I ran a route a I run a lot and I ran fairly easy/moderate pace for me what felt like 8:00 minute miles. That was confirmed by glancing at the AW during the run and seeing 8:04, 7:58, 8:02, etc.
So I expected to see something like 8:02 for my average pace at the end of the run. To my surprise, the average pace on the watch and the iPhone activity app showed 8:51 ???.
Now there were a few stops at intersections, but I was diligently paused the AW each time (even though it is a pain in the a** to do so ... please let us use the Friends button to pause/un-pause).
I am thinking the AW is using elapsed time / distance to calculate average pace, instead of moving time / distance.
Anyone seeing similar results?
Just as an aside .. my HR tracked perfectly during the run. No spikes or dropouts.
