Galaxy watch 6 running pace

[Mmif0016]

Hi I have been noticing that sometimes when I'm running with the watch, the pace just spikes or changes so drastically it doesn't make sense, and I am a regular runner so I know how to keep steady pace. has anyone encountered this problem before?

@Mmif0016 Have you got your watch on tight enough? If your watch is loose, then this may cause the watch to shake more which gives an inaccurate reading.

That's an interesting point how tight is tight?

@Mmif0016 If your watch is that loose it moves when moving, this will give inaccurate information.

I guess the original poster sets GPS and expects the watch to use it, also for the pace. The watch should be able to handle the typical hand movement while running. Why should a wobbly worn watch be a problem? Is it just a step counter?
