What's New

v1.0.5 - You can now choose which distances Best Splits tracks for you. Open the app's settings (in Connect IQ mobile or on your watch) to toggle from 11 distances: 800 m, 1 km, 1 mile, 3 km, 5 km, 5 mile, 10 km, 10 mile, 20 km, half marathon, marathon. Pick any 5. Defaults match v1.0.4 (1 km / 5 km / 10 km / HM / M) so existing users see no change until you open settings. The on-FIT time format auto-adjusts based on how many distances are enabled — H:MM:SS when 4 or fewer are on (room for full hours), MM:SS when 5 are on (still covers up to 999 minutes for ultra-long runs). On-watch display always picks the most readable form per row. v1.0.6 - Settings are now five slot dropdowns instead of 11 toggles. Each slot picks one of 11 distances (800m / 1km / 1mi / 3km / 5km / 5mi / 10km / 10mi / 20km / HM / M) or "(none)". Slot order = row order on the watch — set Slot 1 to your most important distance and it appears at the top of the data field. Defaults match v1.0.5 (1km / 5km / 10km / HM / M, shortest-first). Existing users will see their settings reset to defaults; reapply via the Connect IQ mobile app. 1.0.7 - Best-split times now match Garmin's own personal-record detection to within a second, even when your pace varies sharply at a target distance. Previously, splits could appear tens of seconds slower than they actually were because window endpoints landed on coarse 50 m sample boundaries. Sampling is now twice as fine (25 m), and the algorithm interpolates between samples to put the window's start at exactly the target distance.
