help - the speed field on my forerunner 305 is suddenly reporting my speed as miles / hr. I would like it to be in min / mi like it used to be. Has anyone else had this problem? How can I get it back to min / mi? I have the field selected to display "speed" and don't see a "pace" option that I can select.
thanks. |

Don't have my watch in front of me but I usually use "Average Pace".
MTA: Just thought of this, you might be in bike mode if it suddenly switched. |

Same thing happened to me.
How I fixed it? I have no idea. I'm a techno-tard, so it took me a while.
I think I had to turn it all the way off and on before "pace" appeared again. |

I also don't have mine in front of me, but I think you go to settings, then select the sport you want (running), and the you should be able to select the speed units you want (min/mile or MPH). If that is correct, then you may be displaying the bike mode or another mode.

THANK YOU! this was it. Now I think back, I did scramble just before gun time to change data fields (lesson learned!) and consequently had to do the race in bike mode. I spent a few miles trying to figure out the conversion, but gave up after a mile or so.
thanks again. I never would have found this fix. |
