Cons: elevation tracking, data syncing reliability
Pace tracking was a weakness in GPS-free use, with reviewers saying route or pace depends on the phone and can be way off without it.
Pros: fitness coaching, Strava compatibility
Cons: music controls, third-party app compatibility
Pace tracking has limited scored evidence, but one 10 km comparison found a meaningful overestimate.

Pros: activity reminders, goal tracking
Cons: music controls, smartphone notifications
