  1. 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?

    Wouldn't recommend using these for any sort of instantaneous pace reading.

    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,
