Will this watch work on fast walks?

It will. I bought this watch a little over a year ago and as time goes on, the longer it takes for this watch to find a gps signal (without the foot pod). With the foot pod, the watch works great.

I actually warm up by doing a power walk before I job. So the watch will record your miles but it will not differentiate walking from running.
1733739
Yes. It seems to work pretty well regardless of your speed and/or distance.

I use the watch for walking & find it a great watch for that. As far as water the most has been when washing dishes. I feel it does what it says it does.

Isabelle, I took this watch with me to Costa Rica and it worked there. I was a bit hesitant that it would work, but to my surprise it started to connect and was used during my runs alongside the beach. Hope this helped!

Hi M., The forerunner 10 is great for running/walking but it doesn't count steps. The watch records your distance in mi/km. When you upload your workouts you can map your runs/walks to keep track of you best routes. Hope this answers your question! Cheers,CH

I only tried it once many years ago and it was boring. You can hardly notice it change. But try it and see. Any form of movement will effect it, but it was built for machine movement I believe. Not reading the prior posts I answered the request. My model is quite old and if it has a pedestrian mode, I don't know it. Will check further, but being unable to walk any great distance, do not need the feature. Will try and find the booklet and update it in my mind.

You have to turn it on each morning, but it will count the total daily steps. Make sure you do not accidentally hit the watch on anything as it will change/stop the settings depending on which button is pressed.

Negative. The watch already has a heart rate monitor. You can display real time info when using the exercise function.

I did a little research, and came to the conclusion that it most likely will, on the basis that the watch connects with satellite to determine your distance. So, it wouldn't matter where you're at on the globe as long as it is able to make that connection. But with all GPS devices, it's reliability is determined by it's ability to get a good signal which can be hampered by cloudy days, or trying to get a GPS lock from indoors. As long as you are outdoors and it's relatively clear, it should work anywhere.

Yes. The chronometer piece works without receiving satellite data nor accelerometer. Works even if the watch is stand still.

It can be used for walking and there is even a run/walk interval setting. It does not count steps but it tracks distance, including elevation.

No, this watch does not track your sleep or your steps. It a GPS, very accurate, track miles walked, miles run, and miles biked. Many other things as well. Good piece of equipment.

I think it should as along is it's clipped properly to your belt or waistband. It detects your walking motion and it shouldn't matter if you're on the ground or treadmill.

No it will not. You have to download an application on your phone and on the watch in order to sync the both together. However; I have yet to figure out how to download the application on the watch.

The watch works on a satellite signal. Depending on trails, I would say if you don't get cell phone reception this will not have a signal either which might be cumbersome.

Yes you can use it while walking if you wish to know the distance you walked, you would just need to set the watch to running mode

Dear Jamell: If you are just interested in walking you might want to buy the one less professional GPS watch. This one does run/bicycle/swim settings. You can, however, definitely use it for walking. It shows your pace, your distance, the duration, your heart rate, your average speed. I really like it!

It is an ant+ chest strap so if the watch is ant+ compatible then it should.
