I've fiddled with the pace smoothing feature and tried just about every
setting. I still don't get which is better -- more or less. Any
opinions?

That said, "smoothing" is just another word for averaging. The more you
average, the less the reading reflects current pace. But averaging also
cancels out random errors in the unit. So it's a tradeoff.When in doubt, I'd recommend more smoothing. For the most part, you're not
going to change pace that much in a ~10 second window, so smoothing will
improve the stability of the readings.Cheers,
