Pace varies a lot and is slower than expected

[mojones]

I just installed the app and went for a run this afternoon - it's fantastic, exactly what I need. However, I noticed some odd behaviour with the pace. Looking at Strava after the run had ended my pace was pretty consistent at 5:40, but on the watch it was mostly showing 6:30 but occasionally jumped to a sadly-unrealistic 3:30. Any idea why this might be happening? Does the app calculate pace itself or does it read it from Strava?

I have been trying to think of a way to get a good pace value. I am calculating the pace right now based on the distance and time value shown on the notification by strava. Also my calculation for pace for times greater than 1 hr is messed up. My current pace calculation is triggered by change in distance value in strava notification. Then I check the time taken for the last 100mtrs. I am open to any suggestions to solve these problems Regards Subhash Sridharan

Pebble makes some health data available through the HEALTH SDK, could this approach work? See HealthMetricStepCount and HealthMetricWalkedDistanceMeters.
I'm more of a bike rider, and if this could enable checking my BPM from my PW2, it would be awesome! See HealthMetricHeartRateBPM.

@sibero80 hey sorry for replying so late but on your pw2 while the sports mode is active you can click the bottom button to switch from pace to bpm. this will show the bpm tracked by you pw2
