It doesn't quite work if you make sharp stops and orientation changes. When I run indoors, I don't actually run on a treadmill, on a single direction indoor track, so I have to make 180-degree turns on the ends of the track, which confuses the internal accelerometer, while the footpod knows I make a stop and turn around.FRiChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12804673867456308389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815348968911216485.post-13483715170491164512014-12-26T10:44:54.259+07:002014-12-26T10:44:54.259+07:00Since you have the FR 220 and a Foot Pod I was won...Since you have the FR 220 and a Foot Pod I was wondering if you compared the built in accelerometer to the food pod for cadence accuracy? I know that the watch will use the foot pod if it is connected, but with your engineering background did you test the two. I just got the FR 220 and debating if the foot pod is worth it for cadence sense the accelerometer does give me a reading.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815348968911216485.post-80016682339843182722014-11-30T18:30:04.189+07:002014-11-30T18:30:04.189+07:00FR220 has an integrated accerlerometer for indoor ...FR220 has an integrated accerlerometer for indoor runs. No footpod required. Just turn GPS off to make sure you don't have reception through windows unintentionally. To do this once, press UP key when RUN screen is displayed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815348968911216485.post-34490109903844100462014-08-21T07:22:53.955+07:002014-08-21T07:22:53.955+07:00Trust me, I tried every orientation.

Since writing this post, I've also gotten the Adidas SPEED_CELL, it also doesn't fit.FRiChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12804673867456308389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815348968911216485.post-77938314878523921302014-08-20T20:20:54.407+07:002014-08-20T20:20:54.407+07:00Turn the footpod face down and it will fitTurn the footpod face down and it will fitAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
