I did not pause or stopped running, this is not the first time I do this run so I don’t think it’s a watch GPS problem ? Any idea ? It reduces slightly my distance, as if I teleported lol

That line measures pace, green faster, red slower. Your watch probably lost GPS lock for a quick second. Not a hardware fault, it’s just what happens when you’ve got a super computer crammed into a little case.

You’re probably right ! I’ve done this run dozen of times and it never did this, this is why I am a little surprised

It is orders of magnitude more powerful than the computer that ran the Saturn V.

Heart rate or speed interrupted?

When it fills in the blank spots does it add the distance?

[–] wosmo@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I believe it counts the distance, but it's a straight line from one signal to the next. So it's not nothing, but it's not accurate either - just the best guess it can make with what it's got.

(eg, in OP's screenshot, the example at 9 o'clock. You can see the dots don't follow the path, at all - they just make a beeline between the two readings it is confident in)

What app can you see this? Is it part of a workout? Sorry new to these watches

[–] KingStarFkr@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Looks like apples own app called “fitness” after you record a run you go into the app and you can see all the data it collected on that run

I just got done with a 2 hour GTAV sesh and was about to tell you that they were cops on the map looking for you. 🤣😂🤣

you jumped off a cliff during your run

Think yourself lucky! I’ve got tattoos so can’t use it for fitness tracking at all 😆😆😆
