  • Re the first thing, could be that the watch isn’t getting a full gps lock on enough satellites until you’ve set off and is struggling to place the first coordinates.

    The second thing sounds like Strava cutting out all the stops at traffic lights etc. It almost always shows a slightly faster average pace for me compared to the true number that I get from the Polar watch.
    Is the elapsed time different on Strava than it is on your watch? If so, it’s just how they calculate moving time.

  • Ha, you're welcome, happy to hear you enjoy the light 👍

    Thanks for the feedback regarding Strava -

    could be that the watch isn’t getting a full gps lock on

    ..yea, might be - I could open the app on the watch and wait 20 seconds before I actually start the run?

    Regarding the second thing I'll need to look closer at what the watch says / what Strava says, or might even take my phone with me and record with a second app to compare.
    Now that I mention it I recall there was chat in here about Nike Run Club app vs. other apps' tracking and if I remember correctly NRC was not recommended as it was less accurate?
