Does this watch track your current pace as well as the pace for your run?

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.

Yes it counts strides, and calculates strides per minute and so on. When you upload to Tomtom My Sports and Map My Fitness you can see a variety of graphs, diagrams, maps and data. Don't worry, it's all there!! :)

Fitbit measures your rate of steps as "lightly active, fairly active and very active." It counts the amount of steps in a period of time and rates those minutes accordingly. So it definitely knows the difference between strolling and running.

What I've experienced with my watch is it is much better responding accurately when you are running more of a constant pace, current pace, but if you start sprinting it takes a bit to catch up. I hope this helps.

There is no timer option on the device. But, it does keep track of "aerobic minutes, distance and calories" when you are moving at a rate of 2.8 mph for a minimum of 10 minutes.

Short answer: yes.Long answer: when you begin your work out, you hit a start/stop button. This starts a timer and begins keeping track of the various other things: calories, avg hr, etc. If you don't start the timer, you don't get those things tracked.It also has a lap button, to help with tracking pace, if you're a runner, swimmer or cyclist. I don't use that feature myself, so can't speak to it.

Yes, the running feature works well for walking and hiking. If you're also a runner, however, then walks will really pull down the average speed in your history. You can work around this by creating custom spreadsheets and downloading the data off the watch, but there is not a separate "walk" feature on the watch.

Yes, for the most part. However, I've noticed that it has occasionally been off, mostly overestimating my speed and distance. My other complaint is that it takes a few minutes to locate the gps signal. It also seems that the watch functions better when fully charged.

Hello. Sure it can definitely track your golf course activities. I would suggest that you put it on Walk and once you upload the data onto the run.goyourlife.com website with the sync tool you can see distance walked, calories burned, elevation, and even pace. The watch itself will also tell you those stats when you set up the different stats on a page within the watch settings. Each page you create can show you up to three different stats with the ability to make up to 4 separate pages with different combination of stats. I hope this answers your question.~Team PAPAGO!

Yes, It will track active movement, like fast walking or jogging, from just slow walking. Slow walking does not register as active movement but will still track steps. You can set what your own active movement goal! FYI: Don't listen to the other post about arm movement. That is incorrect. It does not register your arm movement as steps, and if you keep your arms still it WILL still track steps. I've had mine since last Christmas, love it.

Yes. You must have the exercise timer going, take your pulse it will show you what your heart rate is and how many calories burned. Can do it as many times as you like as long as exercise timer is going. Great watch for price paid. I

Yes, it continuously records your time, distance, pace, calories burned and heart rate. It calculates elevation as distance above/below sea level (as per the User's Guide)

Yes you can use it while walking if you wish to know the distance you walked, you would just need to set the watch to running mode

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).

It works great for my running requirements. I monitor my SPM (steps per minute) to ensure I am keeping a specific pace/cadence.

I think the methodology it uses to track steps is not from the movement of your foot. It may be wrist action or something to that affect. I just got the foot pod, and I did notice that it is accurate if you are running on an indoor track, but not very accurate on a treadmill. It may be user error though. I'm going to have my husband re-look at it and make sure it's set up correctly.

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.
