Does the watch provide current pace or just average pace? Thanks.

Both. You can choose three numbers to display in the window but can always scroll to see more. You can save 2 sets of preferred displays, as well. So if you alternate by running for distance on your long runs and by pace for training runs, you will have 2 pre-saved displays for either mode. It's sweet!

Liliana - it provides current pace during activity and average pace in the workout summary. There's a lot more telemetry shown in the complete download. I had no idea it counts cadence until after the first run....it's very accurate.

Yes it has the capability to flash between two screens each has 3 fields of info and each can be customized with what ever data you want to view as you run.

It shows the average pace for the entire run + average pace for current mile or km.

What I've experienced with my watch is it is much better responding accurately when you are running more of a constant pace, current pace, but if you start sprinting it takes a bit to catch up. I hope this helps.

I don't know. There is a field called "pace" which I assume is current pace. Sorry I can't do better.

The watch has two programmable screens; you can use the software to specify what data appears on them. Each screen has three data fields, arranged vertically, with the middle one appearing larger than the ones on top and bottom. There are eleven data options: Calories Clock Distance Lap Distance Lap Number Lap Time Current Pace Average Pace Current Speed Average Speed Time

Yes, it tracks seconds when you use it as a standard watch and when you track workouts.

Oh. I've been riding 30-40 minutes twice a day. In the morning I read/respond to email and drink my morning coffee and in the evening I read student submissions and web articles. The computer may be off [I have no way of testing it], but the timer is close to what the stopwatch on my watch says, and if the rest [speed, distance, calories] is within 10% of accurate that's fine with me. I think that they are close though.

Sort of. I have mine set to show average pace total elapsed time and total distance. However, you can have it set to show speed , current pace average pace or lap depending on what information you want to see.

Only your heart rate. Remember the closure on the band is weak. I actually lost mine walking to work. Think twice if you are going to be very active with this unit.

You can program it either way when you do your HR set up. Its easier for run/bike to use percents if you want to stay in a zone, and it has zone alarms. I wear the watch in the pool but not the heart rate monitor. It will take time to get used to the watch and its functions, but read and re read the instructions. You will be fine. My only issue with it is the intervals. But otherwise like the watch.

Hi, there are different way to arrange the information on the screen and depending on what you want to monitor I think it is pretty readable.anyway it is not always the easiest thing to read while running but this watch does the trick perfectly for me.

I use the watch for walking & find it a great watch for that. As far as water the most has been when washing dishes. I feel it does what it says it does.

Mine does count steps.. isn't that what a pedometer does. ? Haha or at least I assumed that was my steps it's counting ! lol.. I basically needed the watch for the heart rate monitor. Really all I can comment on is how accurate and good it is for that! :)

It can be configured to display current or average pace. I currently have a page setup with average pace with my average lap time and one page with current pace and lap time.

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.

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.

Yes, hours, minutes, seconds, date, steps taken, calories burned & pulse rate. I LOVE this watch!!!!

I do not use the watch feature. I find it hard enough just to use the odometer. I'm not very happy with the product.

As far as I know, it has lap time, overall time, transition time (triathlon), and I think it could give you time per activity (running, bike, swimming). What is that you want to measure?

The HRM run is built into the HeartRate monitor. You need to have the package that includes both a heart rate monitor and the watch. When you download to Garmin connect you can see the oscillation on the chart with your range showing normal. You can see where On garmin connect your steps change.It's not super scientific but is interesting to see.Also check out the new fenix 2 before you buy the 620. It looks very impressive and the same price.
