Does the device distinguish between running and walking? Can it track your pace and distance when running?

Under standard operation, the UP 24 does not distinguish between running and walking. It can be put in "stopwatch mode" which will time any activity. Afterward, the activity can be edited to indicate what kind of activity was performed. I personally track my running, cycling and other defined activities using RunKeeper. Conveniently, the UP and RunKeeper apps sync up, so activities tracked in RunKeeper are posted in UP as well. There are several other apps with which UP will sync as shown at : https://jawbone.com/up#features.

I could not tell anyone about running, although I will tell you it does a great job for walking and location of walks, also does a great job with sleep patterns. Sorry I couldn't help with the running.Cons, I have had problems loosing my history when my phone needed to update, was able to retrive the info with some amount of frustration.

It can be used to track calories burned while walking. Doesn't count steps taken

No. This is a great interval timer, but it does not track distance or average speed.

Yes, it works perfectly fine. I use Runkeeper and it tracks all my runs using GPS while in the case.

Ken, There are multiple options for what is displayed on the watch face for each of the different functions. I have mine set to show elapsed time, distance and pace per mile. But there are other options for what you will see that can be programmed during the set up process. Hope this helps.

It does, the watch by itself will help you track distance as a GPS would, but any other information you need this sensor, it will help you track HR and calories burned, if you want an all day long monitor, you need the Nike Fuel band, though it is not as accurate as the Sportswatch+ the HR monitor.

Yes. It shows the current pace as your running and the average pace when your done.

It senses your steps or "cadence" as you run then at the end of your first treadmill run it sakes you if you want to calibrate it , I guess it has you some how enter your pace according to the treadmill , I've only used it on a treadmill a couple times and have never done the calibration but it was pretty close even without doing that.

No. Accelerometer senses motion but appears calibrated for running and walking. When I row it says I run 5 miles in slightly over the 15 min span (ie. I run a three min mile!). Look out Mr. Bolt!!

It's pretty good for walking but it does not count steps. It will tell you how far you've gone, what your pace is per mile, what your average pace is, and your calories. I hope this helps!

Outside your Forerunner will use the GPS and give you actual speeds and distances. Inside if you're on a treadmill or if you are on an inside track and your watch can't get a GPS signal, the foot pod will estimate your distance and speed pretty accurately. I'm not sure exactly how the algorithm that it uses calculates it but it uses cadence information that it gets from the accelerometer of the foot pod and your stride length to do the estimates. I think that I read that the more that you run/walk using the GPS and foot pod, the more accurate it gets.

Pace, counts the steps each time your foot hits the pavement. This instrument counts the measured steps you make. To work properly it requires you enter the length of your stride and based on that and assuming a consistent stride it keeps track of your steps (running or walking) and your distance. I am sure you can get an idea of your pace using this tool but I would not look at it to measure pace as much as it measures step counts and distance travelled.

No, it's a GPS watch, not a pedometer. You could theoretically leave it running all day, and it'll tell you how many miles you've walked. But it's not just a step-counter; it tracks distance covered and time/pace.

Yes - distance is calculated based on your individual average stride, and total minutes of activity is recorded and tracked.

I have the female version (gray with pink stripe) forerunner 110 and it DOES track calories! It displays once you've completed your run and saved it. Calories will appear underneath your time when you view your runs under the "History" option.

Yes I think it only work on running because the GPS tracks ur movement and calculates the amount of calories used for that distance, speed, and time.

yes you can but i recommend you to turn off the GPS. If you want to track how long have you run, I recommend you to get the foot pod, I just got one and it is awesome, it tells you what is the frequency of your steps and even it can measure the distance that you have run without the GPS. I hope my answer helped you.
