Does anyone find the Strava app tracks your runs being much faster (~:20s/mile) than the Coros Pace 2 in particular? I had a Forerunner 25 before this and it always agreed with my phone. I'm sad because perhaps this is my true pace (if the Pace 2 is more accurate than the phone location services), but just wondering if it's my device or a general experience with quality running watch v.s. phone/sh*tty running watch.

GPS errors can go both ways, so if you really want accurate pace, measure it on a track; or you can simply rely on the same device and approximate routes to track improvement over time.
My phone and Pace 2 and even Apple Watch are all pretty close to each other.

I suggest measuring on something straighter, which has accurately measured distances (e.g. a relatively simple certified 5K course with easily run tangents or a bike path with marked miles) rather than a track. Even my relatively accurate Garmin adds about 0.01 to every lap on a track.

A mile is a mile. Lemme guess. You post your gps 5k pb on your instagram and complain when a marathon course is 100m long.

Btw, strava is software. Coros is hardware.
No, I really don’t care very much. My competitive running days are over. I just like to have a good picture of where my fitness is relative to where it’s been in the past.
Bozo.
And I know, but I mean the iPhone hardware as Strava uses it.
Thanks for the input everyone. The smoothing thing is kinda what I figured.
