Welshpoppy Jan 2021 10:12am, 1 Jan 2021 244 posts	Welshpoppy Can you wise chaps help? My fenix 5 the calibration from watch to treadmill is off which is annoying as it has me running 5-6mm and I can not run that fast ever:-) is there a way to fix this or do I have to do a rest of the whole watch?

chunkywizard Jan 2021 12:25pm, 1 Jan 2021 11,017 posts	chunkywizard Treadmill calibration taking the pace from the wrist is just plain poor. I think you need to factory reset to calibrate it again but the easier way is to get a Stryd or RUNN if you can afford it. You can get cheaper footpods but they are typically only good if you tend to run the same pace all the time. If you want something that adapts to pace then have a look at Stryd or RUNN stryd.com npe-inc.com

Sigh Jan 2021 6:47pm, 2 Jan 2021 8,210 posts	Sigh It's affecting my 245 as well, this was from a walk yesterday morning: Ah well. They'll sort it out. Random extra WSW squares in the meantime!
Badger Jan 2021 6:48pm, 2 Jan 2021 13,312 posts	Badger Let the watch sit with a clear sky view for a couple of minutes and it’ll be fine - I was keeping an eye on the map today and it was a full two minutes before it drifted over to where I was actually standing, but after that it nailed the always tricky hard left over a bridge covered with a metal grid. The satellite ephemeris file isn’t being transferred properly but the chip is working fine.
