Has anyone tested it's accuracy on someone performing a 10, 20, or 40 yard dash? If so, what was the outcome?

Mark - I didn't test it against a runner, but I did test it against a tuning fork, and the indicated reading was what it should have been. Of course, there's no guarantee that the calibration of one unit is a good guide to the calibration of another. That's why I bought the tuning fork!

No. It is designed to measure ball speed and general estimate approximate distances bases on the ball speed. Really seems like a nice concept, I just think I got a dud is all.

We have had ours since this summer and have had no issues with the yard markers or yardage in general. We use it all the time and are very happy with it. It has been pretty accurate. Not sure how to you would recalibrate.

I have used it from between 25 and 30 yards and it works fine. I use it duckhunting. On my mojo

I don't buddy but they are pretty basic calls that were on it. I downloaded more from their website. Pretty much the main ones I use are from their site and free. As far as distance. I would say 30 to 50 yds has been my ranges as far as puttin the call out. Hope this helps. Bruce

Usually. I would say 9 times out of 10. It does read + or - 1 but for the most part I haven't had a problem with it. I reload ammunition and use a manual old school scale every time to check it and 9 times out of 10 it matches up.

It works off of doppler Radar, so last year I used it in my garage hitting into a net to get my club distances down. It was great!!! I have a laminated note strip on my bag with all the clubs I have, and they're distances! I got my distances from the ES12 in the garage, and I verified them at the range... It's great! Just take out all your Bad Shots, and your top one to get a VALID DISTANCE for each club!

You can but keep in mind the accuracy is not survey quality. Best accuracy I've seen with it is +/- 10 feet.

Make sure you are not picking up something behind the target. I have never had any accuracy problems with mine. Also, how do you know that it is 100 instead of 90? This model doesn't have gps btw.

I'm not sure Greg. The elevation has considerable adjustment range. However, I zeroed in at 50 yards and haven't touched it since.

i use it for hunting and as long as the target is solid it is very accurate but if i look at a tree line during hunting season (no leaves) sometimes ti doesn't work. i havent tried it on tree lines with leaves.

I haven't had that problem at all. If anything, it is a bit inaccurate in the beginning of a run while my heart rate is just kicking in. After a few minutes at most, mine works well - as accurate as my Polar without the irritating strap.

I had limited luck with a puck. Ironically that is the sole reason I purchased the unit! It does give readings sometimes so I'm hoping that I can find an optimal placement to ensure accuracy.

I have tried it and it still does a great amount of accuracy. And, yes, if you adjust the hop right then it will be fine.

I have found mine to be very accurate, although sometimes it will be off usually about a quarter mile for a 10 miles ruen. I think it has more to do with the movement or adjustment of the satelites rather than the watch, since I have noticed on the peaks website that sometimes the course is really off and has me starting out in Lake Erie. There is not really much you can do about it and all brands pretty much use the same gps. If I am running a course for time, I always measure it by my bike or car for better accuracy. I did do a 10 mile race last fall and it showed 10.07 which was very good. Trees and turns or switchbacks can through it off as well.

As long as you adjust the stride length for your running step it should be accurate. I have occasionally jogged intervals and have never had it come loose or fall off clothing. This is the only model I buy because it usually lasts about 4 yrs and the cover prevents accidentally resetting your counts.

It won't work in spin classes, it's calibrated to your stride length and it basically counts the number of strides and then does the math.
