Inconsistency between real-time watch data and post-run analysis in the app
-
I’m having a difficult time wrapping my head around the usefulness of the ZoneSense real-time watch display. My initial thought was that the real-time display on the watch would be useful for those days that I set targets for the 3 zones, but it is completely off from what my perceived effort is. Here are two shots from this morning’s run which wasn’t particularly challenging.
According to the watch I should have been doing some serious huffing and puffing, but that wasn’t the case. The next image is from the app after synching my watch.
Now that’s a more realistic picture of how I actually felt, so I really don’t understand why the real-time display on the watch is so off.
Watch vs. AppAerobic 02’35 vs. 30’36
Anaerobic 12’02 vs. 22’40
VO2max 38’12 vs. 00’00This is a consistent inconsistency since I installed the S+ app on my watch. Could it be something so simple as perhaps needing to remove the app from the watch and re-install it, or am I totally ignorant of how to effectively interpret and use the real-time info on the watch while running?

I erroneously posted this as a new topic instead of posting it to the ZoneSense thread where it belongs. I’ve since re-posted it to that thread but am unable to delete this new post. Now that it’s in the ZoneSense thread any moderator out there can feel free to delete this post / topic.
Sorry for the mishap.

The same thing happens to me, inconsistencies everywhere. The live data from the watch never matches what is later indicated in the app. When it is indicated, of course, because sometimes that data appears and other times it doesn’t. I have uninstalled, re-installed, reset, etc. and everything remains the same. I still don’t know how I haven’t given up on the effort… it seems I’m a masochist.
