Km/hour in stead of pace

[Hilbert]

Hi all,

I have my ionic for a couple of months now. It works fine for me. happy i bought one.

Started to run a 9 months ago and this watch is really helpfull. 

I'm a late starter in running and not familiar with the use of " pace" as an indicator of speed. In my gym the " machine" , sorry i don't know the english word for "loopband", is using km/hour.

Is it possible to change the speedsetting to km/h instead of pace? I was not able to find anything in the product-help.

Thanks

Hello @Hilbert.  Welcome to the forums.  Pace is min/km (or min/mile).  I believe it is more common for runners to use pace than speed -- a runner needs a 4:00/km pace to finish a 5K in 20:00 min.  People who walk for exercise seem to prefer speed.

Fitbit gives information in pace, not speed.  There are a number of Feature Suggestions asking for speed instead of pace or the ability to choose from between the two.  You should browse the Feature Suggestion Forum.  You might find a suggestion or two that deserves your vote and comment.

From my searching, a loopband is a treadmill.
