The real time pace measurement while running with GPS on my Ionic jumps wildly between paces, showing ranges that vary by minutes.  For example, when maintaining an 8:00 min/mile pace it will show something on the order of 6:30, then instantly jump to 9:05 then adjust to 7:05 etc...  it seems to show every sample point of data instaniously when perhaps it could be smoothed out.  This was never a problem on my past garmin products.

Are you tracking your min/mile pace with something else and also using the ionic? Maybe swinging your arms affects it? I honestly don’t pay attention to min/mile pace. Maybe doing a reset would help.

@PeachesPerches Welcome to the Fitbit Community! Thanks for your input and feedback regarding the pace. 

 

Since when are you experiencing this?

 

I'd recommend performing a restart on your Ionic. This could help you out.
