can it tell the differance between slow walking and fast walking and running?

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.

As I recall, it does have an aerobic step counter. DO NOT RUN IT THROUGH THE WASHER AND/OR DRYER.

It counts your steps whether your walking on a treadmill or on ground and whether your walking or running. As long as your moving it accurately counts your steps.

The sensor monitors your running cadence and stride length, but not your steps. The v800 watch counts the steps.

If you only go 4 mph, you can walk that pace. It does not go higher than 4. So I walk at 4 when I am not typing, etc.

The watch can track and show both. The watch only shows 3 items on a screen at once, so I set it to scroll through the screens while I run. That way, I can see more data. Hope that helps.

I would expect so. When you log into the dashboard of flex, you can see the differences by steps and/or calorie burn (whichever you prefer to see, you can flip back and forth between them), and it will show you how many minutes were of each (faster/slower) - it shows: "light, moderate and intense" minutes and calories burned during that time. (I don't jog, but I do cardio / hiit training and it shows the differences)

Not that I have been able to figure out. I still have been using MapMyRun to track that information.

Yes, the speed can be adjusted manually, and it does measure the distance and time that has been walked.

If there is, I haven't discovered it. The pedometer will tell you total aerobic minutes, so if you don't stop during your walk/run, you know to the minute how long you exercised. That's the best I've discovered.

Tina, My understanding is that it doesn't matter how slow you walk, but the steps you take. One needs to "set" their walking pace (and the instructions should explain how to do that) and then the pedometer measures your steps, calories burned, steps taken, and aerobic steps taken. I believe that one has to walk so many steps before the aerobic measurement kicks in. I have had several Omron pedometers and I wouldn't used another brand! I hope this helps!! Kelly

Yes. Although, they only seem to be visible in the TomTom MySports app. When I upload my activities to Strava it doesn't show stride rate, which is odd since Strava does have support for it.

We just walk, but my best guess is that light, slower jogging would be fine. I agree with both of the other comments.

From what I could tell it does not track steps for walking. I did return it because the set up was not easy to decipher.

Yes, When you download your run data to your computer you will get a GPS map and the path you ran super imposed on in. At the bottom is a graph that will track pace, altitude, speed, and distance. It is my first GPS watch but I have been very pleased. No complaints.

In the runner's mode that I always use distance is mainly shown but there is also a timer, and what the time would be for a mile at the pace your running, though if you slow down or go faster it takes a little bit to adjust.

No. Surprisingly, it's calibrated to detect actual steps, not random movement. Granted you might find that you accumulate a few more steps than reality, but maybe only a few out of thousands of steps in a day.

It lets me know what bpm after I have finished walking.I just bought another phone and I didn't realize it checks your heart rate, so I haven't been using it lately. I hope this answers your question.
