Does this watch give real-time Average pace and current pace, or does it just give current pace in real-time and you need to get your average pace aft

You have the option to choose which one (average or current) to see on your watch: for example, my running metrics are distance, average pace and current heart rate. The metrics can be decided before the run and you can easily switch between different ones during the run. Hope this help.

I've only been able to enter my weight. And my assumption is that without having a field for height it is not too accurate especially without the heart rate monitor feature. The watch is what it is. An inexpensive GPS watch that tracks your runs.

Display is configurable and can show current pace or speed. How accurate the instantaneous pace/speed information is depends on the quality of the satellite link, so not as good in trees or blocked areas. Works well overall.

It does not display avg. pace while running (only current pace) but it does display avg. pace in the post-run summary.

Yes, it does. You may use the Virtual Partner to set a specific pace in order to compare your current pace versus your target pace.Keep in mind that this unit is not produced anymore by Garmin but when I looked up the newer models around the same price range, I noticed the newer ones do not have alerts (pace, heart rate, etc).

I thought so. The mph it's always displayed and the various modes are in smaller font. If your working on keeping a pace or working up to one, this gives you an accurate measure. If you don't need cadence there are cheaper models. For another 10 bucks this is a good feature and this is one of the cheapest computers with cadence. Add solid product too.

I do not use the watch feature. I find it hard enough just to use the odometer. I'm not very happy with the product.

No. You have to place the index and middle fingers on the sensors that are next to the watch display. In a few seconds it will show the value of your heartbeat and the percentage relative to the maximum for your age.

The only thing I can suggest is make sure you download the app that is needed to get full function of the watch. The watch I purchased was a gift.

The watch keeps track of time and distance. I just do the math for speed. I never looked for a speed reading.

No it does not have real time O2 monitoring. You have to take it off the wrist band and place it on your finger and press the button to start it. Now if your running and want to take a reading then you have to stop running slide it or of the holder then place it on your finger then press go for it to give you the reading for both pulse rate and O2 rate. Which is why I don't recommend the product and mine now sits in the back of the cupboard with the rest of the junk I have bought over the years.

I really don't pay much attention to that. I watch the heart rate and I don't always get accurate readings with it so I'm not real impressed with it sorry I couldn't be more help

No heart rate monitor is required. It will read your heart rate while on your wrist. It tracks your calories by how much it estimates based on your movements. So even if you dont wear it, you will find estimated calorie burn in your watch. If you are looking for actual calorie burn while work out then this watch is not helpful. Also step counter is not accurate. It sense based upon the movement of your hand not step.

Yes. You enter your age, weight, gender, and height and the watch adjusts calories accordingly. However, you'll need to adjust the weight every couple months to account for weight gained or lost through your workouts to ensure the accuracy of the calorie counter. Well worth the investment.

Yes it will show current and average pace. You can set up what information is shown to you on your runs when you set up the software on your computer.

It can do both...you have the ability to load custom "apps" that can provide the data in whatever way you want to see it...my favorite feature is being able to see my estimated finish time for half marathons, it is based on my current pace...but I can also see my real time speed in mph or kph...again, I rely on custom "apps" that have been created by other people...you can download hundreds of these apps and them click through different views to see all the data very easily on your run...this has been a great watch so far...I've had it about 6 months.

Do you use RunKeeper currently? If so, expect to have to do a manual export/import to get it to take. Also, MySports desktop app still locks up for me everytime I sync (have to close and reopen/resync). I didn't care much for the MySports website, but I already use RunKeeper anyway. It's completely comfortable, and sized just like a normal digital watch. I REALLY want to like this watch, and I still kinda do. If you're not in a hurry, I'd recommend holding off until/if they fix it... as it seems to be one of the best out there for the price--once it's all working. I'm holding out hope for it, but will be watching my return window closely.
