Even WITH a Garmin I can get my pacing so wrong it's not funny. Ahh stop kidding CLiffy, we all know youknock 5min / miles out like its a walk in the park...

By tracking the sun and stars it does some incredibly complicated mathematics and works out where the hell you are, how fast you are travelling, and how much time you have escaped the other half for. Beware,they have a mischeivous side, and are prone to lying in areas of heavy tree cover, thus making you rn faster for no reason. Some men with very big heads are trying to make a mechanical version to render the Garmins obsolete, but so far they can only come up with something called a MAp Engine which requires 3 horses to pull it and a degree in calculus and some WD40 to use. Who knows, by the 21st century they'll make one small enough to be worn on the wrist.
