So I finally bought one. I take it to the High School track and it comes up 20 seconds fast for the first mile! I would probably be OK with a few seconds off, but 20 seconds?!!? I'm wondering if there is something I don't know.
Before I bought it, what really sold me was a guy at a local race. We're running side by side and as we run by where the volunteer is standing reading off the 1st mile split times, his watch beeps indicating 1 mile has been run. It was perfect! I was so impressed it persuaded me to finally get one and now I get 20 seconds off? I feel ripped off.
Anybody have any suggestions on what I might do different? Were my hopes too high that the thing would be accurate? I had pace smoothing set to "most" and there were no overhead objects blocking a signal.
