I have used one for hiking and it seems to record ok, you need to turn auto pause off in the settings.

but doubt it'll be accurate enough on foot
Why? Can you adjust data recording to 1-sec intervals? It'll reduce battery-life, but improve accuracy. It's a bit bulky though - use the Strava app on phone instead?

DCrainmaker: "One question that’s often asked is: “Can I use it for running?”. The answer is: Sorta. The Edge 800 will record the GPS information just fine, along with heart rate. However, it’ll show your speed in MPH (or KPH) and not in the standard Minutes/Mile pace format. Also, it’s not quite designed for your wrist, but if you pickup the cheap 310XT quick release kit, it’ll snap into that just fine."

Just get a Fenix 5 + and bin the dedicated cycle computer.
Unless you are serious audaxing / transcontinentaling
The running / multi sport kit is way better than the cycling specific stuff in my experience

@Dexter
Has anyone set up their Garmin for use when running? I've got an 800 that I'd like to use when running but doubt it'll be accurate enough on foot, unless there are specific settings people have used?
