Below is comparison of AW3 with Workout app and Garmin Fenix 3 for a short run. I first noticed this almost exactly same data on a longer run. It used to be the AW3 and F3 could be .02 miles different per mile. For both I'm using a Scosche Rhythm Plus for HR, so that should be same. In this run, I stopped the AW3 about 3 seconds after stopping the Garmin, which could account for the .01 mile longer run on AW3. I use RunGap to get the Apple workout into Garmin, and I have to change the date by a day or Garmin Connect will overlay thinking they are same run.
EDITED TO ADD: This is running with the AW3 LTE only, without the phone, as I always do and was a reason for the LTE.
The pace on AW3 is more erratic, but ends up same average pace. I actually notice the AW3 changing pace quicker than the F3 now as I intentionally speed up and slow down. I think DC Rainmaker needs to review AW instant pacing again to see if upgraded from "dismal".
Route map from Garmin is a little more accurate. Notice the little "L" path near the stop point. It's more of a triangle on the AW3 map, and the Garmin is more right.
Will include screen prints as well as Garmin links, though lately the Garmin links are not showing full data even though privacy for the activity set to "everyone".
Cadence on AW3 continues to be a problem though. The first part of every run shows ridiculously low cadence. On last few runs though, the average cadence is right, though the first part and the graph is crap.
(Also did treadmill 5K recently, and the AW3 was dead on with expected pace--and actually ended up exact average page of treadmill though .03 miles shorter over 3.22 miles. I think the AW3 is in fact learning my strides and pace and is good for indoor use now!)
